About Ritika
Ritika Budhiraja Thakur is a HCPC-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression and supports those dealing with relationship difficulties and the effects of trauma and abuse. Ritika speaks English and Hindi and accepts international clients.
Her approach treats the person, not just the problem. She works with clients to identify strengths they already have and build practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative so people feel heard and supported while they set clear goals. Ritika often helps people address issues such as abandonment worries, body image, communication problems and feeling isolated or lonely. She also offers support for panic attacks, mood disorders, social anxiety and trouble with guilt or shame.
These concerns are approached with attention to the person’s pace and readiness. In sessions clients can expect a mix of talking, practical strategies and gentle reflection. Ritika emphasises small, manageable changes that can reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
She helps people notice what is working and adjust approaches when needed. Many people come wanting clearer direction, fewer overwhelming emotions, or better ways to relate to others. Ritika guides each person through a step-by-step process that honours their experience and priorities.
The aim is improved coping, greater self-understanding and more confidence in moving forward.

Focus areas and approaches
What Ritika works with
Everything Ritika lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences in the first sessions and then adapt methods collaboratively. This means together they choose what feels most helpful and change course if something is not working.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller discussion is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break from work. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing tracking of mood or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to attend regularly and keep therapy consistent with daily life.
