About Samita
Samita Rathor is a counsellor with 15 years of experience who guides people through stress, relationships and life changes. She works in Australia and brings a calm, practical style to conversations. Samita aims to listen without judgement and help clients find clearer ways forward.
Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what matters to each person rather than fitting everyone into the same plan. She draws on evidence-based ideas about emotion regulation and behaviour to teach skills that can be practised between meetings.
Samita works with adults facing anxiety, depression, anger, addiction and relationship strain. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, ADHD, body image concerns and difficulties linked to adoption and foster care. Clients described as young adults, couples, professionals and community leaders are among those she commonly sees.
Training in counselling psychology, a master of science in psychology and studies in yoga and meditation inform her work. Samita also has qualifications in clinical hypnotherapy and applies mind-body techniques where helpful. Her credential with PACFA is listed as PACFA.
She combines practical problem-solving with techniques that calm the nervous system. Conversations are respectful and paced to the client's needs, with an emphasis on small steps that feel doable. The goal is to build coping skills and stronger emotional balance over time.
How Samita's approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety, depression or life transitions make decision-making and motivation harder. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and anger management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and managing emotion, and it can be useful for relationship stress and attachment concerns.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Samita works collaboratively to figure out which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. She will discuss options and adapt techniques so sessions feel useful and manageable.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins or conversations that don't require travel. It can also allow people to practise skills between meetings and bring real-life examples into sessions. Appropriately qualified counsellors will aim to help clients set realistic goals and blend practical tools with reflective work.
