About Rakshita
Rakshita Parmar offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or life change. She introduces a straightforward way to talk about problems and to plan small steps that feel possible. Rakshita works in English and Gujarati and aims to create a respectful space for clients from different cultural backgrounds.
With nine years of experience, Rakshita uses a mix of conversational and evidence-informed methods. She emphasises helping people notice patterns that keep them stuck and then try different ways to respond.
How Rakshita works
Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on simple skills that can be used between appointments. Rakshita tailors conversations and the plan to each person's needs. She pays attention to practical issues like sleep, eating, anger and coping with career or relationship changes.
She also supports parents with the strain of raising children and people handling complicated grief or trauma. Her work draws on approaches that encourage acceptance, build emotional connection, and teach clearer thinking habits. Rakshita explains ideas plainly and helps clients choose what feels most useful.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often abbreviated as BACP. Sessions are offered online through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging, depending on what the person prefers.
To begin, Rakshita asks people to complete a brief questionnaire so she can match goals to the right plan. That initial step helps her and the client set realistic next steps together.

How Rakshita’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life changes because it focuses on small, meaningful steps instead of trying to eliminate distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can help with low mood, sleep problems, eating concerns and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current emotional responses and can help people understand closeness, trust and communication struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rakshita will discuss different methods and, together with the client, choose what fits the person’s goals and preferences. She adapts pacing and tasks based on what the client needs and reviews progress regularly to adjust the plan.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for structured sessions, while phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send updates or work through thoughts between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments or mobility needs while keeping the focus on steady, useful change.
