About Samita
Samita Rathor is a PACFA counsellor with 15 years of experience working in Australia. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship friction, anger, depression and life changes. She also supports those facing addictions, sleep or eating difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
She works in a collaborative and practical way. Sessions focus on talking through what matters now and finding skills that steady moods and improve communication. She brings quieter skills such as breath and grounding practices alongside evidence-based psychological tools.
Samita uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based work. That mix is aimed at helping people notice unhelpful patterns, shift reactions and make values-based choices. She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and client-centred methods when they suit the issue at hand.
Her background includes postgraduate study in counselling psychology and a Master of Science in psychology. She has internationally accredited training in yoga and clinical hypnotherapy and applies mindful, mind-focused techniques to calm strong emotions.
Samita has worked with professionals, business leaders, young adults and other individuals across cultures and contexts. She offers practical support for relationship problems, workplace pressure and the day-to-day challenges that feed into anger and frustration.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values rather than reacting automatically. It can be useful for anger, anxiety and decisions about relationships.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful thinking patterns and managing strong emotions in day-to-day situations.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions. It can help people understand why they become defensive or angry in close relationships and practise new ways of connecting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That planning is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. They also allow the therapist to weave breath, grounding and skill practice into real-life routines without promising a particular format.
