About Nikita

Dr. Nikita Mohta is a UK-based counsellor with ten years of professional experience. She holds a doctorate in psychology and is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, HCPC. She works with people who face sleep problems alongside a wide range of everyday difficulties.

Her practice draws on core psychological approaches and third-wave therapies. She uses Cognitive Behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses humanistic ideas that put the client's experience at the centre of the work.

Mindfulness is a recent and central focus in her work. She regularly applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy strategies in sessions. These methods are used to support anxiety, stress, mood and sleep difficulties, and to build practical coping skills.

Dr. Mohta has worked in many settings, including corporates, colleges, schools and hospitals. That variety shaped a practical style that aims for doable steps rather than abstract theory. She helps people with relationships, family tensions, eating and body image concerns, addiction and mood challenges.

She emphasises the strengths clients already have. Sessions tend to be collaborative and aimed at small changes that add up over time. The first step is often a short conversation to agree priorities and set simple, achievable goals.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and managing stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviours and trying different, practical experiments to change them. It is often used for sleep problems, anxiety and mood difficulties. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy offers skills for handling strong emotions, improving relationships and reducing unhelpful reactions, which can help with mood instability and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and day-to-day life. They will then suggest methods to try and review what helps, adjusting plans in collaboration with the client.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. This can help people maintain regular practice of skills such as mindfulness exercises and sleep routines while balancing work or family commitments.
