Dr. Nikita Mohta, HCPC

Dr. Nikita Mohta uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and life changes. She holds a doctorate in psychology and is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, and she has ten years of professional experience in mental health. Her work is rooted in cognitive behavioural ideas and humanistic values.

She has worked in a variety of settings including corporates, colleges, schools and hospitals before moving into independent practice. That range gave her experience with mood and eating problems, body image concerns, addiction and trauma-related issues. She also helps people manage parenting strain, career worries and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she blends cognitive behavioural techniques with third-wave approaches such as mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She emphasises simple skills people can practise between meetings, including behavioural experiments and attention training. She aims to keep interventions straightforward and relevant to daily life.

Dr Mohta believes clients know their own lives best and brings a collaborative style to the room. She encourages people to notice strengths and small changes that build momentum. The first meeting usually focuses on clear, manageable goals and a plan for the next steps.

Her practice supports people experiencing grief, relationship strain, low self-esteem and difficulties with intimacy or attachment. Sessions also cover complex presentations such as bipolar symptoms, co-morbidity and substance-related problems. When someone is unsure where to begin, she helps them identify priorities and choose practical strategies.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and values and taking small actions that matter. It can help with anxiety, stress and problems that feel stuck by encouraging committed steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy targets unhelpful thinking and behaviour with practical exercises and experiments that reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then try methods collaboratively. That may mean focusing on mindfulness skills one week and practical behaviour change the next, depending on progress and priorities.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue with therapy during work breaks or while travelling. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools such as guided mindfulness practice, thought records and behavioural tasks for remote use to keep therapy practical and goal-focused.
