About Nikita

Dr Nikita Mohta is a HCPC-registered psychologist in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. She works with young adults and others on common pressures such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems and life changes. Her practice also covers mood and eating concerns, addiction, grief and issues around self-esteem and confidence.

Before running her own practice she worked across corporates, colleges, schools and hospitals. That range means she is used to practical, everyday problems like workplace stress, study pressure and the strain of changing family roles.

Her clinical work draws on core psychological approaches and third-wave therapies. She uses cognitive behavioural methods alongside humanistic, attachment-informed ideas. Mindfulness-based techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and elements of dialectical behaviour work are part of how she supports clients.

Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps. She helps people notice patterns that keep causing trouble and practises skills to change them. Therapy can cover thinking habits, emotion regulation skills and strategies for relationships or daily routines.

Nikita sees people who want help with things like coping after university, starting a first job, or dealing with relationship and family stress. She encourages clients to use their own strengths and to set realistic goals for change.

How therapeutic approaches are used online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values rather than trying to get rid of difficult thoughts. It can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for stress, anxiety and sleeping or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past relationships affect current reactions and helps people understand and change patterns in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals and try techniques to see what fits best. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses to match needs and preferences.

Please confirm the exact online session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, shift work or commuting. It can also allow shorter check-ins, use of audio only if bandwidth is limited, and flexible scheduling that works with a young adult timetable.
