About Rakshita
Rakshita Parmar is a UK-based counsellor with nine years of experience supporting people who are struggling with parenting concerns, stress and anxiety, grief, trauma and other life challenges. She speaks English and Gujarati and works with adults who want practical help and emotional support. She treats each person with respect and cultural sensitivity and adapts her conversations to meet individual needs.
Rakshita draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work.
Background and approach
In sessions she helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, name difficult feelings and try small, manageable changes. She uses straightforward language so parents can fit short, focused conversations into busy days. Her practice includes talking through parenting challenges, coping with loss, managing sleep and eating concerns, anger and low self-esteem.
She also supports people facing career stress, compassion fatigue and changes such as separation or blended family issues. She makes space for experiences linked to trauma, abandonment and attachment difficulties. Rakshita is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so therapy can fit different schedules. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.
This helps make sure the first appointment focuses on immediate priorities and next steps.

How Rakshita uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being led by them. It supports setting values-based goals and taking small steps that fit a parent's day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections and intimacy-related worries.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rakshita will listen to your priorities and explain different options. She collaborates with you to try methods that feel useful, adjusting the plan as progress or new needs emerge.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation when time and bandwidth allow. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging or live chat suits quick check-ins, brief coaching-style work or people who prefer writing over speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around parenting and busy schedules.
