About Nidhish
Nidhish Parikh is a BACP counsellor who supports adults through stress, anxiety, relationship strain and low self-esteem. He speaks English and Gujarati and offers short- and longer-term support for common life difficulties. He aims to make conversations straightforward and practical so people can start feeling steadier sooner.
He combines different approaches to match what someone needs. That might mean looking at how past relationships shape present reactions or telling the stories that keep a problem alive.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the person and trying small, manageable changes between meetings. Parikh has three years of experience working with issues such as depression, grief, trauma and coping with life changes. He also supports people navigating identity questions, intimacy issues, parenting stresses and workplace strain.
He uses a client-centred stance that places the person’s perspective at the heart of the work. In practice he draws on Narrative ideas to help people reframe difficult stories, Attachment-based ways to notice relationship patterns, and Solution-Focused steps to try new behaviours in daily life. These approaches are blended to suit each person’s situation rather than following a fixed formula.
Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Parikh works within the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Nidhish directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and attachment work online
Online sessions can use Narrative Therapy to help people tell the stories that shape their feelings and choices. In simple terms this looks at the problem story and looks for alternative threads that point to different options and meanings. It can be useful for issues like low self-worth, identity questions and repeating relationship patterns.Attachment-Based Therapy is also used to notice how early relationship experiences affect current reactions and needs. That approach helps when people want to understand why they respond strongly in close relationships or struggle with trust and intimacy. Client-Centred Therapy underpins the work by keeping the person’s own goals and pace central to each session, so conversations stay relevant to what matters now.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to explore what feels helpful and adjust techniques to match the client’s needs and preferences. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions remain practical and personalised.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions suit someone with lower bandwidth or who wants a simpler check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter reflections between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible for people juggling work, parenting or other commitments.
