About Samita
Samita Rathor is a PACFA counsellor with 15 years of experience based in Australia. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, depression and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with addictions, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Samita combines practical psychological tools with attention to how people form close bonds. She often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice what matters and try small, doable changes. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and how early connections shape reactions now.
Her way of working is straightforward and collaborative. She listens without judgement and helps people talk through their immediate concerns. Sessions focus on emotional regulation, clearer communication and steps to reduce distress rather than long theoretical discussions.
Samita’s background includes postgraduate study in counselling psychology and training in mind-body methods. She has also completed advanced study in yoga and applied the mental aspects of those practices alongside clinical hypnotherapy principles. This mix informs how she supports calming the mind and managing strong emotions.
Her experience spans counseling professionals, young adults and people navigating big life transitions. She has provided mentoring and mental health guidance internationally and volunteers with aged and at-risk women. She does not work with international clients through this service; sessions are offered in English.
People who are feeling stuck after a relationship, career or health change often come to her for focused, practical support. To begin, clients use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, guided actions in the direction those values indicate. It helps when someone feels stuck or unsure what matters after a life change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how past bonds influence current reactions and communication. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative process may draw on one approach more than another or combine elements across methods. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In practice, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. They also let people use quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera for parts of a session, or choose a format that reduces bandwidth needs. Discussing practicalities happens at the start so sessions fit into everyday life and the client’s routines.Areas of expertise
