Rakshita Parmar, BACP

Rakshita Parmar is a counsellor who aims to make the first step easier for people feeling overwhelmed. She meets each person with respect and attention to their cultural background. Her warm approach is meant to help people speak honestly about stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and relationship concerns.

In sessions she adapts the conversation and plan to what each person needs. She draws on practical tools to manage symptoms and clearer ways of thinking when worry or low mood are getting in the way. She also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, work stress and changes like separation or bereavement.

Rakshita has nine years of professional experience and holds BACP. That background informs how she plans sessions and sets goals together with the person she is seeing. She aims to make therapy straightforward and focused on day-to-day improvements.

Her approach blends talk-based work with exercises you can try between appointments. She uses mindfulness and acceptance ideas to help people live alongside difficult feelings. Cognitive strategies are used to challenge unhelpful thinking and build coping skills.

Sessions are offered in English and Gujarati. Rakshita practises in the United Kingdom and uses a collaborative style so that people feel involved in decisions about their care.

How Rakshita works online and what to expect

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, so they can focus on what matters. It is useful for anxiety, stress and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and uses practical steps to reduce unhelpful patterns and lift mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Rakshita works together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values and daily life. She will review what helps and adjust the plan as sessions progress so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or to fit a short check-in. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter exchanges and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, childcare and travel.
