About Samita
Samita Rathor is a PACFA counsellor with 15 years' experience based in Australia. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, anger and depression. She also supports those managing life changes, addictions, ADHD and issues around sleep or eating.
Samita uses several evidence-informed approaches including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based work. She listens without judgement and works collaboratively to help people name and process difficult emotions. Sessions focus on clear steps and practical ways to calm the mind and manage strong feelings.
Her background includes an MSc in Psychology with specialisation in counselling, a MA in Science of Living, Yoga and Meditation, and a postgraduate diploma in counselling psychology. She has also studied clinical hypnotherapy and applied mind-based techniques from yoga to support emotional regulation.
Over more than two decades she has worked internationally with students, professionals, TEDx speakers and business leaders, and has mentored physiotherapists, psychologists and senior yoga teachers. She also provides crisis support for an organisation and volunteers with older people and women in distress.
In sessions Samita draws on psychological approaches and lived experience. She aims to help people learn skills to manage tension, communicate more clearly, and notice patterns that repeat in relationships. People often come for help with abandonment or attachment issues, codependency and communication problems.
Samita offers counselling with attention to mental and emotional wellbeing and supports clients who prefer a mindful or mind-body element to talk therapy.
How Samita brings EFT and related approaches online
Samita uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name feelings that drive relationship patterns and distress. EFT focuses on emotions and attachment needs, and is often used when people struggle to put feelings into words or repeat the same relationship behaviours.She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which looks at values and practical steps to live a meaningful life despite difficult thoughts. Attachment-based work is used to trace how early bonds shape current ways of relating and to build more secure patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Samita will talk with each person about what they want to change and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. She tailors sessions by combining talking strategies, mindfulness and mind-body techniques from her background in yoga and hypnotherapy where helpful.
