Dr. Nikita Mohta, HCPC

Dr. Nikita Mohta uses straightforward psychological approaches to help people feel steadier in daily life. She combines talking therapies with practical skills so problems like anxiety, low mood and stress become easier to manage. Dr Mohta is based in the United Kingdom and brings ten years of professional experience to her work.

Her background includes time in corporates, colleges, schools and hospitals before moving into independent practice. That variety means she is used to different kinds of pressures and life rhythms. She draws on a doctorate in psychology and registration with the HCPC to inform her practice.

In sessions she leans on cognitive behavioural techniques alongside humanistic methods. She also uses mindfulness-based ideas and third-wave approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy. The focus is on simple, repeatable skills rather than lengthy theory talks.

People come for help with stress, anxiety, mood disorders and sleep or eating difficulties. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family tensions, self-esteem problems, parenting strain and work-related stress. Addictions, grief and trauma are also within her focus areas.

Dr Mohta works collaboratively and treats people as the expert on their own life. She aims to make sessions practical and goal-focused, helping people try new ways of coping between meetings. If someone wants clear tools and calm guidance, her approach is built around that.

How specific approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then to move towards the things that matter. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes by focusing on values and small committed actions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to change them. It is often used for stress, panic, depression, sleep and eating issues because it gives clear exercises and steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about problems, goals and preferences and then agree which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, journalling-style work or people who need flexibility. These options make it easier to arrange regular contact and to practise skills between meetings.
