Renika Nakra is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She uses practical, person-focused methods to build motivation and confidence. Renika draws on five years of experience supporting people through career challenges and major life changes.
Her work centres on a tailored approach. Sessions are shaped around what a person needs that week, whether that means setting small goals, learning coping skills, or talking through painful feelings.
How Renika works
She aims for straightforward conversations that make problems clearer and more manageable. Renika practises a mix of therapeutic approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take action, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current ones.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and client-centred techniques also inform her style. People come with a wide range of concerns, including depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, intimacy-related issues, addictions, parenting strain, work stress, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and trauma or abuse. Renika also addresses additional areas such as body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, blended family issues, and fertility-related worries.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works with clients in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients for online work. Renika encourages small steps and practical strategies to help people move forward.

Online support options
Approach-driven online counselling that fits your life
Renika uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns, which can ease anxiety and low mood. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clarify personal values and take small steps toward a more meaningful life. Attachment-Based ideas are used to track how past relationship experiences shape current feelings and behaviour, useful when intimacy or trust is a concern.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Renika treats that as a collaborative process - she will listen to your goals and try strategies, then adjust the plan if something does not fit. This keeps therapy practical and focused on what helps you most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions are helpful for deeper conversations and seeing facial cues, phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging suit brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while still working with registered and accredited professionals.
