About Rakshita

Rakshita Parmar offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes, loss, relationship strain or ongoing anxiety. She writes simply and listens closely to understand what matters to each person. Her approach is warm and respectful, with attention to culture and personal background.

Rakshita uses straightforward conversations to help clients spot patterns that keep them stuck. She draws on techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to look at thoughts and actions, and on mindfulness to build steadiness day to day.

Background and approach

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what they value and take small steps in that direction. Over nine years of work in the United Kingdom have given her experience with stress, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, depression and relationship difficulties.

She also supports people facing eating or sleeping issues, anger, self-esteem struggles, career changes and neurodiverse profiles such as autism and ADHD. Sessions are shaped around the person in front of her. Rakshita adapts the pace and style so practical goals can be set and reviewed.

She pays attention to cultural context and personal history when agreeing actions and homework. English and Gujarati are both available for conversation. Rakshita practices within the BACP framework and blends client-centred listening with active techniques to help people make realistic change.

How Rakshita uses evidence-based approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what they value and take small steps towards those things, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thought patterns and practical actions, aiming to change routines that maintain distress. Mindfulness therapy focuses on simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rakshita treats the choice as a joint process and adjusts techniques based on each person's goals, pace and preferences. She will discuss options and try practical methods, then review what is helping and what needs changing.

Online formats give flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit a short break or use less data. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journalling support or ongoing coaching between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can combine these formats to match a person's schedule and the work they want to do, making therapy more accessible for busy lives.
