Niketa Chohan offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or difficult life changes. She greets new clients with patience and clear steps, helping them talk through what matters most. Niketa uses straightforward language and steady presence to make sessions feel manageable and focused.

She draws on five years of professional counselling experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Her main concerns include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression.

Background and approach

She also helps with addictions, grief, eating difficulties, anger and career worries, plus challenges such as ADHD and compassion fatigue. Niketa combines client-centred work with approaches that look at relationships and thinking patterns. In practice this means she listens closely, helps people spot unhelpful thinking, and explores how early attachment and current relationships affect day-to-day feelings.

Sessions aim to build insight and practical tools, not just talk. She also works with issues like abandonment, attachment wounds, body image and caregiver stress. Other focuses include control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, obsessions and compulsions, panic attacks and postpartum depression.

Niketa encourages small, achievable steps and regular check-ins so progress is steady. She supports people who want clearer coping skills, better emotional regulation and a stronger sense of purpose. Starting therapy is framed as a collaborative process where the client sets the pace and goals.

Therapy approaches and how they work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people understand patterns such as fear of abandonment, attachment wounds and difficulties in close relationships. Client-centred therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive relationship where the counsellor listens and reflects so the client can find their own answers. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that feed anxiety, panic or low mood.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Niketa will listen to the client’s goals, preferences and life situation and recommend a mix of methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper, conversational work and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need flexible, on-the-go contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, while keeping continuity across the course of counselling.
