About Nikita

Dr. Nikita Mohta works from a blend of evidence-based and humanistic approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to help people manage strong emotions and daily stresses. Her practice often centres on building practical skills, increasing self-awareness and finding values-based steps forward.

She holds a doctorate in psychology and is registered with the HCPC. Over ten years she has worked in corporations, colleges, schools and hospitals before moving into independent practice. This range of settings informs a flexible, down-to-earth style in sessions.

Clients come for help with stress, anxiety and mood concerns. She also supports people facing relationship difficulties, family conflict, low self-esteem, body image and eating issues. Anger and coping with life changes are among the areas she addresses.

Her approach aims to combine practical exercises with a respectful, client-led conversation. Sessions may include structured techniques such as cognitive reframing, mindfulness practices, and emotion regulation skills, alongside open discussion about goals and values. She encourages people to build on their existing strengths.

Dr Mohta emphasises collaboration and realistic steps. She works with each person to set small, achievable goals and reviews progress regularly. The focus is on usable tools that fit everyday life rather than abstract theory.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online working

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anxiety, anger or life transitions make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for stress, mood problems and specific difficulties like sleeping or eating concerns. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal skills to manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the person's goals and preferences. That choice can change as work progresses, and adjustments are made together based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow appointments from different locations. It also lets people use shorter check-ins or choose not to be on camera when that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises like mindfulness, behavioural experiments and skills training to online sessions so they remain practical and goal-focused.
