About Rakshita
Counsellor Rakshita Parmar is a BACP member with nine years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and related concerns. She speaks English and Gujarati.
Rakshita works with adults and with children, using clear, practical conversation. She listens for what matters to each person and then uses approaches that fit the issue. Sessions are focused on manageable steps rather than long explanations.
Her way of working draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at patterns of thought and behaviour. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationships and intimacy.
Mindfulness techniques are used to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Client-centred principles guide the pace and tone of sessions, with the person leading what to focus on. This mix aims to help people manage symptoms and practical problems in day-to-day life.
Rakshita notes experience across a wide range of concerns including eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career issues, and coping with life changes. Additional areas listed include attachment issues, body image, communication problems, and first responder issues. She asks people to use the site matching tools to set up a first session and choose how to begin.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Rakshita uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match what matters to them. ACT is often used for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes.She also draws on attachment-based work to look at how early and adult relationships affect how someone connects and trusts. This can be useful for relationship and intimacy-related issues. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to identify thought and behaviour patterns and to practise practical changes for mood, sleep or eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rakshita will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Decisions about approach are made together and can be adjusted as you go.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video if that suits you better. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often use online options so people can keep therapy going when life is busy.
