About Renika
Renika Nakra is a counsellor who focuses on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other practical approaches. She aims to help people manage stress and anxiety, build motivation and confidence, and cope with changes at work and in life. Renika draws on five years of hands-on experience working with a wide range of concerns.
She describes her style as sensitive and respectful. Sessions are tailored to each person, and she listens carefully to what matters most.
Background and approach
Conversations lead to simple, usable steps rather than abstract theory. Renika uses a mix of methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when they fit the situation. Attachment-based ideas and client-centred work shape how she helps people understand patterns in relationships and self-image.
The emphasis is on practical tools that can be used day to day. People come to her for many issues including depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, grief, addiction, ADHD and parenting stress. She also supports those facing chronic illness, fertility or caregiver stress, and career or identity challenges.
Her training is recorded as BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Renika offers sessions online in English and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. To begin, she asks people to share a bit about themselves so the work can start from their priorities.

Online support
Using emotion-focused and practical therapies online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and work with strong feelings in order to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for improving emotional connection, handling relationship pain and understanding repeated reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small actions you can take even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present, which can help with anxiety, depression and motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers specific strategies to reduce symptoms and build new habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to identify what feels most useful based on their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions can be a quick option when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging is useful for flexible, ongoing support. These formats make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel and help people keep continuity of care regardless of location.
