Counsellor - Anger and Stress

About Rakshita

Rakshita Parmar is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, depression, relationship and family matters, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Gujarati.

Rakshita focuses on practical conversations and clear strategies. She uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-informed work. In sessions she listens to what matters most and helps people figure out small, manageable changes they can try between meetings.

Her style is client-centred and active. That means she draws on the client’s values and goals and helps them test out different ways of responding to stressful situations. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing also appear in her work when they suit the person’s aims.

Rakshita has helped people with sleep and eating issues, low self-esteem, career stress and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, ADHD-related difficulties and intimacy-related concerns. She adapts the focus depending on what a person brings to the first few sessions.

Practical next steps are straightforward. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions run on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then take actions that match their values. ACT can help with anger that comes from frustration or stuck patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and introduces practical exercises to test out different reactions. CBT is useful for managing temper outbursts and reducing workplace stress. Attachment-based work pays attention to relationship patterns and how early experiences shape responses to conflict and closeness.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative step. The therapist will talk through the options in the early sessions, consider the client’s goals and preferences, and agree on a way forward together. Some people prefer short practical exercises; others want to work more on relationship patterns and meaning. Rakshita adapts the plan based on those conversations.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they fit more easily into workdays, avoid travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when needed. Online work also makes it straightforward to try mindfulness exercises or worksheets between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can use these methods to help people practise different ways of responding to anger in everyday life.
