Rakshita Parmar welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She is a BACP counsellor with nine years of clinical experience and speaks English and Gujarati. Her approach aims to help people feel steadier and more able to cope day to day.

She tailors conversations and support to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on practical strategies for symptoms such as low mood, trouble sleeping, anger and self-esteem struggles.

Background and approach

Rakshita also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns and parenting challenges by listening closely and working out realistic steps together. Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behaviour changes.

Mindfulness techniques support grounding and managing stress in the moment. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clarify values and build committed action despite difficult feelings. Rakshita pays attention to a person’s background and culture while keeping sessions straightforward and respectful.

She can also support people dealing with trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, career stresses, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related difficulties. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or messaging to fit different needs. People in the United Kingdom can access her work, and international clients are not accepted.

To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

How these approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small steps that match personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours to reduce worry and improve sleep or mood. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention practices to calm the body and manage stress in the moment.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, try different tools and adapt methods based on what helps you most. That collaborative process means techniques can change as needs and priorities shift.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different days and rhythms. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins and written reflection between sessions. These options give more flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life while still working with established therapeutic methods.
