About Renika
Renika Nakra is a counsellor who draws on five years of clinical experience to help people manage anxiety, stress and life transitions. She works with practical concerns like career challenges, sleeping and eating difficulties, and issues around self-esteem. Renika also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction and parenting questions.
She is a BACP member, which indicates professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Renika uses evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thought patterns and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify personal values and build workable habits. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional responses. Sessions are offered through a mix of video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging.
This makes it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life. International clients may also be seen in English. People can expect a warm, respectful space to talk things through.
Renika focuses on clear goals and small steps that add up over time. She aims to balance practical skills with an understanding of emotions and life context. If someone is thinking about starting, Renika guides the conversation at a pace that feels manageable.
She helps people weigh options and find approaches that match their needs and values.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps that align with those values. It is useful when someone wants help moving past avoidance and building motivation for everyday life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to change them. It helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current emotional responses and relationship patterns, which can be helpful for people noticing repeated conflicts or intimacy-related worries.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Clients are invited to set priorities and review progress so the work stays relevant to their life.
Online therapy offers a range of formats to suit different needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversational experience, phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, and chat or messaging work well for brief check-ins or when writing helps thinking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
