About Nikita
Dr. Nikita Mohta works from a blend of cognitive and humanistic approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioural techniques alongside third-wave therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Her style is practical and hands-on, aimed at helping people manage stress, anxiety and midlife transitions.
She has ten years of professional experience and holds a doctorate in psychology. That background includes work in corporates, colleges, schools and hospitals before moving into independent practice in the United Kingdom. She is registered with HCPC.
Dr. Mohta commonly helps people who are struggling with mood difficulties including depression and bipolar issues, and with problems around eating, body image and sleep. She also supports those coping with relationship and family tensions, parenting strain, addiction concerns and grief. Work around self-esteem, motivation and career challenges is another focus.
Her therapeutic sessions emphasise practical strategies and skills alongside reflective conversations. Clients can expect behavioural experiments, thought-challenging exercises and mindfulness practices. She draws on attachment ideas to look at how past relationships shape present patterns.
Dr. Mohta frames therapy as a collaborative process. She treats people as experts in their own lives and helps them try small changes that build confidence over time. The aim is clearer choices and better day-to-day coping rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online working
Dr Mohta commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for life transitions, anxiety and feelings of stuckness. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with small behavioural changes, which can help with mood, anxiety and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest techniques that fit the issues you bring. That decision is collaborative and may change as you try different strategies.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking as the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions fit around work or family routines. It also means practical exercises and mindfulness practices can be carried out in everyday settings where they matter most.
