About Rakshita

Rakshita Parmar is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and eating and food-related issues. She speaks English and Gujarati and aims to make first conversations straightforward and calm. Her approach is respectful and sensitive to each person's background and culture.

She adapts sessions to what the person needs rather than using one fixed method. Rakshita draws on a mix of talking therapies and practical skills to help with day-to-day challenges. That can include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practising mindful awareness, and clarifying personal values to guide behaviour.

With nine years of experience, Rakshita has worked with adults and children on a wide range of concerns. Her caseload has included trauma and abuse, parenting and child issues, relationship and family problems, sleep and anger difficulties, and support around career changes and caregiving strain.

She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness, and a client-centred way of working. These help people build practical routines, improve communication, and manage upsetting symptoms that interfere with daily life.

Rakshita asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire when they start, and then schedule sessions according to availability. Fees vary with location and are provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. She works from the United Kingdom and does not take international clients.

How Rakshita uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to someone and taking small, value-led steps. It can help when worry or unhelpful habits get in the way of living the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that cause distress. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasises how early relationships shape current connections and communication, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rakshita will discuss goals, preferences and the issues you bring, then suggest methods to try. The plan is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made or needs change.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join from different locations within the United Kingdom, helping therapy sit alongside work, family and care commitments.
