About Rakshita
Rakshita Parmar is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She works in English and Gujarati and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel less daunting. Rakshita uses straightforward, respectful language and treats each person with sensitivity to their culture and values.
She has nine years of clinical experience and adapts sessions to what each person needs. Rakshita combines practical strategies with chance to talk things through so people can find clearer ways to cope.
Background and approach
She pays attention to relationships, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, sleep and eating concerns, and workplace or career stress. Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods so sessions stay focused and useful. Techniques include mindfulness to calm racing thoughts, cognitive-behavioural ideas to shift unhelpful patterns, and work on attachment and values to strengthen relationships and direction in life.
Rakshita frames these tools in simple language and sets goals you can measure. Sessions may include conversations about coping skills, behavioural experiments, and thought records when helpful. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and coaching-style work for practical life goals.
The aim is to build skills people can use between sessions. Rakshita describes therapy as a collaborative process - she listens, offers options, and tailors plans to each person. She encourages small steps and checks progress regularly so people leave sessions with clear next actions.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Rakshita uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and build committed action, useful for finding direction during life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rakshita treats the process as collaborative and will help identify which methods fit your goals and preferences. Together you can try different techniques and agree on practical steps to test between sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging so therapy can fit around work, family and travel. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a break. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, flexible timing and written reflections you can return to later. These options aim to make ongoing support easier to maintain alongside everyday life.
