Rakshita Parmar
Support for stress, relationships and change
About Rakshita
Rakshita Parmar helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or changes at home. She works with those coping with trauma, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with sleep, eating or self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Gujarati.
She has nine years of clinical experience and is registered with BACP. Rakshita uses straightforward conversations to make therapy feel manageable. She listens carefully to what matters to each person and adapts the work to fit their situation.
Background and approach
That might mean using cognitive tools to change unhelpful thoughts, acceptance-based ideas to reduce struggle, or mindfulness exercises to steady attention. Her approach also pays attention to attachment and how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when people want to understand repeated difficulties in relationships or when they notice strong reactions they do not expect.
Rakshita combines this with client-centred ways of working - keeping sessions focused on the person’s priorities. Over nine years she has supported people facing job pressure, compassion fatigue, bereavement, and life changes such as separation and fertility challenges. She also works with concerns linked to neurodiversity, ageing, and communication problems.
Rakshita adapts pace and tools to each situation rather than using one fixed method. Practical steps are central to her work. Clients can expect clear goals, simple exercises between sessions, and regular review of progress.

How Rakshita blends approaches for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and big life decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical exercises to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people develop different ways of relating. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That process is collaborative and can change over time if something is not working. Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily life.| Session length | Typically 50 minutes |
