About Ritika
Ritika Budhiraja Thakur is a counsellor registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) in the United Kingdom. She brings nine years of practical experience supporting people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety or low mood. She also helps with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and worries about self-esteem and confidence.
Ritika treats each person as the expert in their own life. She looks for strengths and practical steps that build on what already works.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and focused on everyday change rather than medical jargon. Her work often starts with simple goals - managing panic or reducing overwhelming anxiety, rebuilding confidence after hurt, or finding steadier motivation day to day. Conversations are used to spot patterns, try small experiments and practise new ways of coping.
Ritika can also support people facing specific struggles such as body image, abandonment fears, isolation or difficulties with communication. She pays attention to how thoughts and routines affect mood and energy, and she helps people test different approaches to improve them. Sessions are offered in English and Hindi and are available to people outside the UK as well.
The style is collaborative and practical, with an emphasis on clear next steps and gradual progress.

Focus areas and approaches
What Ritika works with
Everything Ritika lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the journey. Ritika treats treatment style as a collaborative decision - she listens to what matters to the client, suggests options, and adapts methods to fit each person’s goals and preferences. Clients keep input on what feels useful and what needs changing as work progresses.
Online therapy with Ritika uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when a quieter connection or less bandwidth is needed, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work from different locations.
