About Rakshita
Rakshita Parmar is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and relationship issues. Sessions may also address sleep, eating, anger, self-esteem, career and adjustment to life changes.
She approaches conversations with respect for cultural background and individual values. Rakshita uses gentle questioning and active listening to help people describe what is troubling them. She focuses on practical steps that can be used between sessions as well as talking through feelings during appointments.
Her work draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with unhelpful thoughts and avoidance. Attachment-based ideas and client-centred talking are used when relationships and past connections are part of the issue. Mindfulness techniques are offered to build simple awareness and calm during stressful moments.
Rakshita has supported people dealing with grief and loss, parenting stresses, and trauma-related concerns. She also helps with career-related stress, compassion fatigue and attention-related difficulties. She pays attention to how family and intimacy issues affect daily life and routines.
Sessions are conducted with respect and sensitivity to each person's story. Clients are invited to set goals and try small experiments between meetings. The emphasis is on clear steps and workable skills alongside space to make sense of difficult experiences.
How Rakshita uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers steps to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, mood and sleep. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to relationship patterns from the past and how they affect current connections; it can help when intimacy or family issues repeat in adult life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rakshita will discuss options with the client and decide together what to try first. She adapts methods based on the person's goals, preferences and the problem they want to address, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
If you want to book, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they fit into study, work or busy days and make it easier to keep appointments. Online work can allow shorter check-ins, quieter surroundings or not needing to travel, which can help maintain therapy alongside other commitments.
