Samita Rathor

Samita Rathor is a counsellor with 15 years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship problems, anger and major life changes. She works with individuals and couples, and also supports professionals and leaders who face high emotional pressure. Samita uses a warm, non-judgemental style and helps clients take practical steps toward calmer thinking and better emotional control.

She adapts each session to the person in front of her rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Conversations are collaborative - Samita listens, reflects back what she hears, and offers straightforward strategies to manage emotions and behaviour. She blends psychological approaches with mindful practices drawn from yoga and meditation training.

Samita has a Master of Science in Psychology with a specialisation in counselling and a Master of Arts in the Science of Living, Yoga and Meditation, plus a postgraduate diploma in counselling psychology. Her listed credential is PACFA. She also holds clinical hypnotherapy and advanced yoga certifications, which she integrates with psychology when appropriate.

Her background includes mentoring other practitioners and providing crisis support work. That experience informs how she responds in urgent or highly stressful conversations, while still focusing on sustainable tools for long-term wellbeing. She has worked with people from many walks of life, including students, professionals and public speakers.

Samita aims to help clients build skills for emotional regulation, healthier relationships and coping with change. She encourages people to try small, achievable changes and reviews progress in each session to keep therapy practical and goal-focused.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and taking small committed actions despite difficult thoughts or feelings; it can help people stuck in avoidance or overwhelmed by anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, for example with anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and can help when relationship trust or communication is a major concern.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This choice is collaborative and reviewed over time so the work stays relevant and useful.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for people juggling work and family. It also makes it possible to continue regular sessions while using techniques like guided breathing, behavioural experiments or homework that fit into everyday life.
