About Rakshita
Rakshita Parmar offers a calm, straightforward approach for people feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety or life changes. She speaks English and Gujarati and aims to make sessions easy to understand. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that can make daily life feel more manageable.
Rakshita has nine years of experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She draws on familiar, evidence-informed methods and adapts what she does to each person’s situation.
Background and approach
Conversations are guided by what a person wants to change and what feels realistic to try next. In sessions she uses clear techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness. That can mean noticing unhelpful thinking, practising small changes in action, or learning ways to sit with difficult feelings.
She also pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns when those are relevant. Her style is warm and respectful, with a focus on practical tools and steady progress rather than jargon. Parents and people coping with grief, trauma, work stress or changes in relationships can expect straightforward plans and check-ins.
Rakshita tailors conversations and short-term goals to each person’s culture and life stage. To begin, she asks a few simple questions to understand goals and preferences. From there she and the client agree on which approaches to try and how to fit sessions into a busy life.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and suggest which methods might fit. Together they will choose what to try and review progress as sessions continue, so the plan can change if something does not feel useful.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction from different locations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to use audio. These options make it simpler to build therapy into a busy life and try different ways of connecting with a therapist.
