Niketa Chohan
Compassionate practical therapy for daily struggles
About Niketa
Niketa Chohan helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strain. She introduces a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about painful experiences like trauma, grief or addictive behaviours. Niketa mentions compassion for those facing caregiver strain and people struggling with body image or a sense of emptiness.
Niketa uses conversational, practical methods to help clients make small changes that add up. She listens first, helping people name what matters and set simple goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on everyday steps to manage panic, intrusive thoughts, low self-worth and the fallout from difficult life events. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She combines that with client-centred listening and practical cognitive behavioural techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking.
Together these approaches help with issues such as obsessive thinking, panic attacks, postpartum depression and problems with control or trust. Niketa is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has five years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
Her background includes supporting people through domestic violence, divorce and addiction-related concerns. Therapy can start with one clear step - a brief questionnaire and a plan for scheduling sessions. Niketa aims to work at a pace people can manage and to help them build new coping skills for life after therapy.

How Niketa's Approaches Work Online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of feeling and relating. It can help people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and build new ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and creating an accepting space so the client sets the pace and direction. This approach is useful when someone needs time to feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and to change behaviours that maintain anxiety or low mood.Niketa treats choosing an approach as a shared process. She will talk with each person about their concerns and goals, try techniques that suit their needs, and adjust the plan together over time. The emphasis is on collaboration so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options make therapy more flexible for work, caregiving or travel commitments and let people keep momentum between appointments.
