About Samita
Samita Rathor is a PACFA counsellor with 15 years' experience based in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, depression and life changes. Her background includes work with addictions, ADHD, eating and sleeping concerns, and issues linked to attachment and body image.
Samita listens without judgement and works collaboratively to identify practical steps clients can try. Sessions focus on emotional regulation, clear communication and small skills that are easy to use between meetings. She draws on psychological approaches and mind-based practices to support day-to-day coping.
Her training includes postgraduate study in counselling psychology and a Master of Science in Psychology. She also brings studies in yoga and meditation and clinical hypnotherapy to the way she supports clients. These interests inform breathing and grounding exercises used alongside talking therapies.
Samita has worked with a wide range of people over two decades, including professionals, young adults and leaders. She has provided mentoring to other practitioners and volunteered in crisis support and aged care services. That experience feeds into practical strategies for managing acute stress and ongoing pressure.
In sessions she aims for clear, solution-orientated conversations and steady skill-building. People who prefer a calm, structured approach that mixes evidence-based therapy and mind-body practices may find this style helpful. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site matching steps and schedule an initial meeting.
Background and approach continues to focus on using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-informed work to help people notice patterns and try new behaviours. Techniques include behavioural experiments, values clarification, emotion regulation skills and mindful attention practices. Samita emphasises working together to choose approaches that fit each person’s life and preferences.
How Samita uses therapeutic methods online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and focus on actions that matter to them. It uses mindfulness and values clarification to guide decisions rather than attempting to eliminate difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) gives structured tools to test unhelpful beliefs and try small behavioural experiments that can reduce anxiety and avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence present-day responses and can help with trust and communication issues.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Samita works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals and preferences. She explains options, tries practical exercises together, and adapts methods when something does not feel helpful.

Online sessions can make it easier to attend from different locations, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can fit a session into a lunch break or between appointments.
