About Nikita

Dr. Nikita Mohta is an HCPC registered practitioner in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. She works with adults on everyday stresses, anxiety, low mood and parenting concerns, and she supports people dealing with relationship and family issues. She also helps with eating and sleeping problems, addiction, grief, ADHD and work-related strain.

Before running her own practice she worked in a range of settings including corporates, colleges, schools and hospitals. That variety shaped a practical way of working that fits into busy lives. She draws on cognitive-behavioural techniques alongside humanistic ideas and third-wave approaches.

Sessions tend to focus on clear strategies and steady skill-building. She often uses mindfulness-based methods, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills to help with emotion regulation and repeated patterns. Client-Centred ideas guide how she listens and responds during conversations.

When someone brings worries about parenting, blended family tensions or communication problems, she looks at what is happening day to day. She works with the practical details alongside emotions that keep coming up. This makes it easier to try small changes and see what works.

People who need help with body image, eating-related issues or addiction can expect gradual steps rather than quick fixes. Dr Mohta emphasises skills you can practise between sessions and steadier coping for difficult moments. She encourages clients to use their existing strengths while learning new ways to respond.

If a person wants to find out more, the usual next step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial appointment. That first meeting is used to agree priorities and a way forward.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used online

Dr Mohta commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it uses values to guide small, practical steps. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety, low mood and problem behaviours.

She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas when the focus is on close relationships. This approach pays attention to how early patterns of relating influence current conflict and helps people try gentler ways of connecting. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals and preferences together and adjust what they try as therapy proceeds.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone use mindfulness and DBT skills between meetings and bring real-life examples from home into discussion.
