About Rakshita
Rakshita Parmar is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck after changes in work, relationships or health. Her listed areas include stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting concerns, trauma and life changes such as career decisions and changing roles. Sessions are offered in English and Gujarati.
Rakshita uses practical talking therapies to help people manage symptoms and make clearer, values-based choices. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness approaches to break down overwhelming problems into manageable steps. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now, what matters to the person, and small changes they can try between sessions.
Her background includes work with issues around relationships, intimacy and family dynamics, as well as eating, sleeping and anger difficulties. She also lists experience with ADHD, attachment issues, and the stresses people face in demanding roles such as first responder work. The emphasis is on addressing immediate concerns while building skills for longer term coping.
The practical side of her approach includes creating a shared plan and adjusting methods if something is not helping. She aims to make sessions straightforward, with room to talk through recent events, notice patterns, and practise tools that fit everyday life. This may include thought records, behavioural experiments or simple mindfulness exercises.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used before scheduling a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Rakshita commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help when decisions feel difficult or when change is needed but motivation is unclear. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses structured exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and managing daily routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adapt what is used based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist review progress together and decide which techniques to keep using or adjust.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when a brief review is useful, or video conversations when a fuller dialogue and visual cues are needed. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format will best suit a client's pace, access needs and day to day commitments.
