About Samita
Samita Rathor is a PACFA-credentialled counsellor with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationships, anger, depression and life changes, and lists young adult issues among her primary focuses.
She meets people who are juggling study, early careers, relationships and identity questions. Samita uses straightforward conversations to help clients name what is difficult and practise ways to manage emotions and decision points. She draws on therapeutic approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based ideas to shape sessions.
Her style is collaborative and practical. Sessions often include talking through what is happening now, learning simple strategies to reduce distress, and spotting patterns that keep problems repeating. She also brings breathing and mind-focused techniques from her yoga and meditation background when those fit a client's preferences.
Samita has worked with people across many contexts, including professionals, students and young adults, and has provided mentoring to other practitioners. She also has experience offering crisis support and volunteering with older people and women in distress.
Clients can expect clear, paced conversations and practical skills to try between sessions. Samita asks about each person's life and priorities, then works with them to choose approaches that match those goals. If you want to explore whether she is a good fit, the usual first step is to complete the short matching questionnaire and book an initial session.
All sessions are conducted in English and she practises from Australia as a PACFA counsellor.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that align with personal values. It helps when stress and uncertainty make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with small behavioural experiments, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotion regulation, useful for relationship struggles and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, then experiments with techniques and adjusts the approach based on client feedback. This collaborative process aims to match methods to a person's real-life needs rather than imposing a single model.
The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into study or work schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. It can also let clients combine talking therapy with breathing or mind-focused exercises introduced from her yoga and meditation background. Ask about session length, timing and whether the therapist offers particular online ways to meet when you complete the matching questionnaire.
