Renika Nakra , BACP

Renika Nakra is a counsellor who uses practical, person-focused methods to help people face stress and anxiety. She draws on five years of clinical experience and works from a respectful, non-judgemental stance. Her name is Reni with many clients, and she keeps sessions grounded and straightforward so people can make steady progress.

She helps people deal with career challenges and low self-esteem in clear steps. Renika also supports those adjusting to major life changes, coping with grief, or managing addiction-related concerns. She works with issues around relationships, intimacy, eating and sleeping, and the strain of caregiving and chronic illness.

Her approach blends evidence-informed tools and listening. Renika uses methods that focus on thoughts and behaviour, emotional regulation, and building values-led action. She also draws on attachment ideas to help people understand patterns in close relationships.

Renika is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and she practises in the United Kingdom. She offers work that is personalised - sessions are shaped around what each person needs and wants to achieve.

Sessions can include practical exercises, short skills practice, and focused conversation about problems and goals. Renika aims to make therapy feel useful on a day-to-day level so people can start applying changes between meetings.

Starting is simple: prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Renika accepts people from the UK and international clients and holds sessions in English.

Approach-led online counselling and practical skills

Renika uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns in thinking and behaviour, and to practise simple strategies that reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Renika discusses options with each person and together they decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This collaborative planning means therapy can change over time as needs shift.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and communication styles. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and exercises, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit short check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it straightforward to continue work from different places and at times that fit day-to-day life.
