About Rakshita
Rakshita Parmar is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting questions, and depression. She also helps people facing relationship and family difficulties, sleep and eating concerns, anger, low self esteem, and career or life-change challenges.
Rakshita uses practical, conversation-based work. She listens to what matters to the person and sets clear steps to try between sessions. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques are used where they add focus on values and present-moment awareness.
Her approach also pays attention to attachment and relational patterns. That can help when someone is coping with abandonment, intimacy issues, blended family stress, or communication difficulties. She uses client-centred principles to keep discussions grounded in each person’s experience and priorities.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Practical strategies may include thought records, behavioural experiments, or short mindfulness exercises to practice day to day. Rakshita also offers support around parenting concerns, first responder stress, fertility issues, and compassion fatigue.
She works in English and Gujarati. International clients are not accepted. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location. To begin, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.
How Rakshita uses CBT, ACT and attachment work in online sessions
Rakshita commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that increase worry or low mood. CBT in practice includes tracking thoughts, testing beliefs with small experiments, and using concrete behavioural steps to change unhelpful routines.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values and actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how relationships shape expectations and responses, which can be helpful for intimacy, abandonment or family communication issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and tries methods collaboratively, adjusting techniques based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist plan the focus together so sessions stay practical and goal-oriented.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a short session is useful. Some approaches, like CBT worksheets or mindfulness exercises, translate well to remote work and can be used between sessions to support progress.
