Samita Rathor is a counsellor with 15 years of experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships and sleep difficulties. She works in Australia and speaks English. Samita uses a person-focused way of working and aims to listen without judgement while guiding people toward clearer thinking and calmer feelings.

Her training includes a Master of Science in Psychology with a specialisation in counselling, a Master of Arts in Science of Living, Yoga and Meditation, and a postgraduate diploma in counselling psychology, and she lists PACFA as a credential.
Her day-to-day work often centres on emotional regulation, coping with life changes, anger, depression, addiction and compassion fatigue.

Samita describes her approach as collaborative and solution-oriented. She brings techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches, and adapts them to the person in front of her. She also integrates clinical hypnotherapy principles and breathing and calming practices from yoga.
She has worked internationally with students, professionals and community groups, and volunteers in crisis support and aged care. To begin, people follow the site's Start Therapy flow, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in avoidance. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with practical exercises to reduce distress and improve sleep and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and helps people understand and change those patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, so the plan matches the individual's needs.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use calming practices from yoga or brief behavioural exercises between sessions to support sleep and rest in daily life.
