Samita Rathor

Samita Rathor is a counsellor with 15 years' experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationships and life changes. She works with adults, professionals and those facing emotional pressure at work, offering calm, practical support and a focus on emotional regulation. Samita holds PACFA and brings a background in psychology and mindfulness-informed practices to her sessions.

Her style is collaborative and non-judgemental. She listens first, then helps people make sense of what’s happening and choose manageable steps forward. Conversations stay practical - learning ways to calm the mind, handle anger, and improve communication in relationships.

Samita draws on a mix of evidence-informed therapies and mindfulness-based tools. She combines Cognitive Behavioral ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ways of looking at relationships. This helps people work through worry, depression, addiction concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and compassion fatigue.

Her background includes postgraduate study in counselling psychology, a Master of Science in Psychology, and training in the mental aspects of yoga and clinical hypnotherapy. She has provided mental health guidance to professionals, students and leaders, and has experience mentoring other practitioners.

Samita has a practical approach to coping with long-term challenges such as chronic illness, caregiver stress and ageing issues. She also offers support related to LGBT topics, ADHD, abandonment and adoption concerns. People who want calm, steady guidance and tools to use between sessions often find her approach useful.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages values-based action so clients can take steps that matter, even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to reduce worry and lift mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change unhelpful ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process helps shape which techniques are used and how sessions proceed.

The original profile did not list specific online session formats, so readers should confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use counselling around work or family commitments. It can also let a person choose whether to focus on talking, practical exercises, or mindfulness and breath work depending on each session's aim.
