Rakshita Parmar

Rakshita Parmar is a counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by anger, stress or anxiety. She works with adults who are coping with grief, trauma, relationship and parenting concerns. Rakshita speaks English and Gujarati and practises in the United Kingdom as a BACP registered professional. Rakshita aims to make the first steps clear and manageable. She treats people with respect and pays attention to cultural background. Conversations and plans are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. In sessions she uses practical strategies alongside reflective dialogue. Techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy help people notice thinking patterns and try different responses. Mindfulness-based methods support grounding and reducing reactivity when anger or anxiety rises. Attachment-based ideas guide work on how early relationships affect current connections. Client-centred principles mean the client’s priorities steer the pace and topics of therapy. Rakshita combines these ways of working to build a plan that fits the person and their life. She has nine years of experience in clinical practice and has helped people with sleep and eating difficulties, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Rakshita also addresses work-related stress, compassion fatigue and issues linked to ADHD and communication difficulties. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. The approach is collaborative and practical, focused on small changes that add up over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters most to the person and on small actions that move life in that direction, which can suit issues like anger, anxiety and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers clear exercises and experiments people can try between sessions to change unhelpful patterns such as avoidance or explosive reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will invite discussion about goals, preferences and what has helped before, and then tailor techniques from these approaches to fit the person’s needs in a collaborative way.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work or childcare, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be harder. It can also support steady practice of skills between meetings, which many people find helpful when managing anger, anxiety or grief.
