About Rakshita
Rakshita Parmar welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or difficult changes. She speaks English and Gujarati, and encourages a gentle, respectful approach to each person's story. Rakshita notes the courage it takes to start therapy and aims to make that first step easier to take.
Rakshita has nine years of experience working in the United Kingdom as a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Background and approach
She has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and child-related worries, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges linked to ADHD and compassion fatigue. Her way of working is collaborative and tailored.
She listens for what matters most to a client and then adapts conversations and a plan to meet those needs. Practical strategies are used alongside reflective discussion to help people manage symptoms and rebuild day-to-day life. Rakshita draws on several therapeutic methods such as cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment approaches, attachment-focused work and a client-centred stance.
She explains approaches simply and chooses techniques that fit each person's goals and pace. Sessions aim to be culturally aware and respectful of each person's values and background. Rakshita supports people through parenting stresses, career pressures, relationship strain and major life transitions.
She works to make therapy feel approachable and manageable for people just starting out.

How Rakshita works online
She also uses a client-centred way of working that places the client's experience at the heart of sessions, offering empathy and listening to what matters most. These methods are explained in everyday language and adapted to each person's needs in collaboration with the therapist. Finding the right approach is part of the process and Rakshita will work with clients to decide which methods suit their goals and pace.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, use notes or worksheets during a conversation, or choose audio rather than video when bandwidth is limited. Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know what options are available.
