Rakshita Parmar, BACP

Rakshita Parmar is a counsellor who aims to make starting therapy straightforward and approachable. She speaks English and Gujarati and welcomes people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship or parenting worries, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her tone is warm and respectful, and she focuses on understanding each person’s culture and background as part of care.

Rakshita uses short conversations and practical steps to help people manage symptoms such as low mood, sleep problems, anger, or difficulties with self-esteem. She also supports those facing life changes, career decisions, fertility concerns, first responder stress, and eating or body-image worries. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs rather than a fixed formula.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centred principles, and mindfulness practices. That mix helps with unhelpful thinking, difficult memories, relationship patterns, and bringing attention back to what matters to someone day to day.

Rakshita has nine years of professional experience and holds BACP credentialing. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and adapts conversation style and practical tasks to fit a person's preferences and goals.

To begin, people are invited to use the site steps to match and arrange sessions. Rakshita aims to work at a pace that feels manageable while helping people build skills to cope with stress, ADHD challenges, compassion fatigue, and other concerns.

How her approaches translate to online work

Rakshita commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness and attachment-informed ideas. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and clarify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying small behavioural changes to lift mood and reduce anxiety. Mindfulness practice brings attention back to the present and can ease stress and sleeping problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Rakshita works together with each person to test what fits best for their goals and preferences. She adapts exercises and conversations so they suit someone's rhythm and comfort, checking in regularly to adjust the plan as needed.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives by removing travel time, making it easier to have a short check-in during a break, or allowing quieter, less visual meetings when that helps. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and decide together which session style suits daily routines and clinical goals.
