About Renika
Renika Nakra is a counsellor with five years of practice helping people manage stress and anxiety. She aims to make the first step easier by offering calm, respectful conversations that focus on what matters to each person. She listens without judgement and builds clear goals together.
Sessions focus on practical ways to build confidence, improve coping, and handle career or life transitions. Renika also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction concerns, eating or sleeping difficulties, and struggles with intimacy or relationships.
Background and approach
Her work draws on a mix of approaches so sessions can be shaped to individual needs. She uses ideas from cognitive behavioural work to spot unhelpful thoughts and from acceptance and commitment methods to clarify values and action. Attachment-based thinking helps when past relationships affect how someone connects now.
Renika keeps explanations simple and uses exercises you can try between sessions. This might include short behaviour experiments, breathing or grounding practices, or steps to shift daily routines. She also covers issues such as career stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness adjustments, fertility concerns, and body image worries.
She works with people of diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, bipolar and depression. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online by following the site's sign-up process.
Approach-led online therapy for clearer coping
Renika uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot and change thoughts and behaviours that add to stress and anxiety. CBT is often used for worry, low mood and sleep problems because it gives simple steps to test and shift patterns.She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that matter. ACT can help when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way of daily life. Attachment-based ideas are used when past relationships influence current trust and closeness, helping people understand patterns in how they relate to others.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Renika talks with each person about their goals and preferences, then adjusts methods so sessions feel useful and manageable. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video can mirror an in-person session, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, and text options suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These choices help fit therapy around work, family life and travel, and make it easier to keep momentum between appointments.
