Rakshita Parmar, BACP

Rakshita Parmar welcomes people who are anxious, overwhelmed by change, or carrying grief. She offers a calm, respectful space where people can talk about stress, relationship strains, parenting concerns and other emotional difficulties. Sessions are carried out with attention to culture and individual values so clients feel heard and respected.

She uses clear, practical methods rather than technical language. Conversations focus on problems you bring and steps you can try between sessions. That might include looking at unhelpful thoughts, practising simple mindfulness exercises, or identifying what matters most to you and taking small actions towards it.

Rakshita has nine years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She has worked with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, depression, anger, sleeping and eating difficulties, and career or life transitions.

Her approach combines ideas from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, attachment-based thinking and client-centred care. She adapts those methods to each person rather than using the same plan for everyone. Short term coaching-style support is also offered for people wanting clearer goals and structure.

Sessions are offered in English and Gujarati. People are encouraged to use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Rakshita's approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, value-led steps. It helps when worry or avoidance get in the way of living the life you want. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and teaches practical experiments to test different ways of coping. Client-Centred Therapy provides a warm, non-judgemental space where the counsellor follows the client's pace and priorities.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Rakshita will talk with you about your goals and preferences and try methods that suit your situation. Together you can adjust the plan as you go to make sessions feel useful and relevant.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when mornings or breaks are limited. It can also make it simpler to continue work while moving through life changes. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists like Rakshita, can adapt exercises and tools for remote sessions so progress can continue between appointments.
