About Nikita

Dr. Nikita Mohta is a HCPC-registered psychologist in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, mood disorders and relationship and family concerns. Her stated focus also includes eating and body image issues, addiction, grief, ADHD and codependency-related patterns.

Before running her own practice she worked in corporates, colleges, schools and hospitals. That variety shaped a practical way of working. Sessions tend to focus on clear, doable steps rather than abstract theory.

Her clinical approach blends core psychological schools with third-wave therapies. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT for changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques to teach coping skills and emotion regulation.

Humanistic ideas inform how she works with people’s strengths. She treats clients as the experts of their own lives and helps them identify what already helps them. Mindfulness practices and MBCT-style exercises feature in her work when they match a person’s needs.

Typical sessions look at current problems and build skills for setting boundaries, managing mood, improving communication and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with addictive behaviour and eating-related difficulties through practical strategies and emotion-focused tools.

To begin, people are usually asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and people stuck in repeated patterns such as people-pleasing or avoiding difficult choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, concentrates on practical steps to change thinking and behaviour. It is often used for stress, anxiety, mood problems and for managing symptoms linked to eating or sleep difficulties.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication. These skills can help during relationship conflicts, impulsive behaviours and when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. Registered professionals often adapt exercises, homework and mindfulness practices so they work well over video or phone.
