About Renika
Renika Nakra is a counsellor who uses clear, practical approaches to help people manage stress and anxiety. She works with clients on self-esteem, career problems, coping with life changes and a wide range of emotional concerns. Renika is a BACP member and brings five years of experience to her practice.
She aims to make talking about hard things feel manageable. Renika keeps sessions focused on what matters to each person.
Background and approach
She listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals. Techniques come from evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, adapted to the person in front of her. Conversations are collaborative and paced to suit the individual.
Many people seek support for relationship strains, grief, trauma and addiction. Renika also helps with sleep and eating difficulties, anger, parenting strain and career uncertainty. She addresses longer-term challenges such as chronic illness, bereavement and compassion fatigue with practical strategies and steady support.
Her work also covers issues linked to identity, intimacy and LGBT questions, and she assists people coping with separation, blended family dynamics and fertility concerns. Renika uses skills from attachment-informed work to look at how early patterns affect current relationships. Sessions are offered in English and Renika sees clients across the United Kingdom and internationally through online formats.
People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. She supports each person to find approaches that fit their goals and daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns through practical exercises and homework. It often suits stress, anxiety, sleep and mood difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your concerns and goals and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs and preferences evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and messaging let people check in between calls or use written communication if that feels easier. Registered and accredited professionals offer these formats so therapy can fit into varied schedules and lifestyles.
