About Nikita
Dr. Nikita Mohta is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience and HCPC registration. She completed a doctorate in psychology and has spent her career working across corporates, colleges, schools and hospitals before moving into private practice. Nikita focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, mood difficulties and problems around eating and body image. She also supports people dealing with relationship issues, family conflict, low self-esteem and motivation.
Her background combines core psychological approaches with third-wave therapies. In sessions she often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside humanistic methods. Nikita emphasises mindfulness techniques such as mindfulness-based cognitive approaches as part of her work.
She describes clients as the experts in their own lives and looks to build on existing strengths. Conversations tend to be practical and focused on small changes that add up over time. Nikita aims to create a calm space where people can talk through current problems and try new ways of coping.
Over the past decade she has worked with a wide range of settings and presenting concerns. Her additional interests include attachment-related issues, codependency, addictions and caring-related stress. Nikita uses evidence-informed tools while tailoring sessions to each person’s goals.
Taking the first step can feel difficult and she recognises that. Nikita offers steady, respectful support for people wanting clearer boundaries, better coping strategies and more fulfilment in daily life.
Approaches that suit online therapeutic work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based action so people can make small steps towards a life they care about, which helps with anxiety, low mood and codependency concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings and actions. It breaks problems into manageable parts and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving, useful for anxiety, mood and eating-related difficulties.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation and managing distress. Its techniques help when emotions feel overwhelming and when people want steadier ways to handle conflict and urges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. Changes are reviewed together and techniques are adapted if something does not feel helpful.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking. Many people find virtual work helps fit therapy into busy days, allows shorter check-ins around work or caregiving, and lets clients practise skills between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to make regular sessions easier to maintain.
