   About Rakshita

   Rakshita Parmar works with adults who are finding life hard to manage. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and difficulties around parenting and relationships. She also helps with sleep and eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem and career strain. Rakshita meets people with compassion and respect for their culture and background.

   Rakshita uses a conversational, goal-focused style. She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Her approach draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change, and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas when they are useful.

   She has worked in clinical roles for nine years and holds BACP registration, which is noted as her professional credential. Her past work included helping people cope with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and parenting challenges. Rakshita aims to make sessions straightforward and practical.

   Sessions are conducted in English and Gujarati. She encourages people to take small steps and recognises how hard it can feel to start. Rakshita will work with each person to set achievable goals and to review progress together.

   To begin, clients follow the site process to match with her and arrange a session. Rakshita will tailor the way she works to what the person needs at the time.

2. How therapeutic approaches work online

   Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation one step at a time; it suits people who feel stuck or unsure about next steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people accept difficult thoughts and focus on values-based action, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with loss. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and change how they relate to others, which can ease relationship stress and intimacy issues.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit best with someone’s goals, needs and preferences. That means plans can change as someone tries things and notices what helps most.
   
   Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor the format and tempo of sessions so they fit into everyday life.
