About Nikita

Dr. Nikita Mohta is a HCPC-registered practitioner in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. She holds a doctorate in psychology and has worked across corporates, colleges, schools and hospitals before moving into private practice. She works with stress, anxiety, mood disorders and anger among many other concerns.

Her clinical work focuses on well-established psychological schools alongside third-wave approaches. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy in sessions. She also draws on humanistic, client-centred ideas and mindfulness techniques to help people manage difficult feelings.

Day-to-day she supports people with relationship and family tensions, self-esteem and motivation, and issues around body image and eating. She also works with grief, trauma and addiction-related problems. Practical coping skills and clear behavioural steps feature in her sessions alongside reflective discussion.

Dr Mohta describes clients as the experts in their own lives and looks for their existing strengths. Sessions include teaching skills such as emotion regulation, communication strategies and mindfulness practices. The aim is to reduce distressing patterns and build more helpful responses to stress and anger.

Her background in different institutional settings means she is used to varied life circumstances and pressures. People who want a mix of practical tools and reflective work may find her approach straightforward and focused on real-life change.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and problems like persistent anger where behaviour change is a goal. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It suits specific problems such as anxiety, low mood and anger-related responses. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for strong or recurring emotional reactions.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify immediate goals, preferred ways of working and which methods fit best. That discussion shapes session plans and the mix of skills, exercises and reflection used over time.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life and to keep momentum between sessions. It can also allow shorter check-ins or phone conversations when a full session is hard to schedule. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt practical exercises, homework and mindfulness practices to online appointments so the work can continue even when you cannot be in the same room.
