Dr. Nikita Mohta, HCPC

Dr. Nikita Mohta is a psychologist with a decade of professional experience in the United Kingdom and registration with the HCPC. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety and low mood, and works with people facing relationship and family concerns, body image and eating issues, and challenges around motivation and confidence.

She has practised across a range of settings including corporates, colleges, schools and hospitals before moving into independent practice. That background shapes how she adapts sessions to everyday pressures and routines. Her work often addresses addictions, trauma, grief and workplace-related strain such as compassion fatigue.

Nikita draws on well-established psychological approaches and newer, third-wave therapies. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, humanistic ideas and mindfulness-based practices to help people notice patterns, try small changes and build stronger coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy inform her use of practical exercises and values-based goal work.

In sessions she treats clients as the experts in their own lives and helps them to put their existing strengths to use. Typical sessions include talking through unhelpful thinking, practising grounding or emotion-regulation techniques, and setting achievable steps for change.

She also supports people with ADHD, bipolar and complex co-morbidity by combining skills training with a focus on daily routines and communication. Dr Mohta aims to offer clear, down-to-earth guidance so people can manage life changes and feel more capable.

How particular approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It uses mindfulness and practical exercises to reduce getting stuck on unhelpful thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and routine changes. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, with exercises for distress tolerance and emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day demands, and then suggest methods to try. This is collaborative, with regular check-ins to see what is helpful and what to change.

Confirm the current session options before booking as formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. It also makes it straightforward to continue work during life transitions and to practise skills between meetings.
