About Samita

Samita Rathor is a PACFA-registered therapist with 15 years of clinical experience who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationships, depression, addictions and other life transitions. She takes an individualized, compassionate approach that treats each person as unique, combining evidence-informed psychological methods with mind-body practices drawn from yoga and hypnotherapy. Samita listens without judgment and works collaboratively to help clients process difficult emotions, build coping skills, and pursue practical, sustainable change.

Her training includes an MSc in Psychology with a specialization in counselling, an MA in Science of Living, Yoga and Meditation, a postgraduate diploma in counselling psychology and a BA in Psychology. She is an internationally certified Yoga Master with advanced certifications focused on the mental aspects of yoga, and she holds a certification in Clinical Hypnotherapy. These complementary skills inform a calming, solution-oriented style that can support individuals, couples, young adults, families and professionals facing relationship challenges, workplace pressure, or major life changes.

Samita has provided mental health guidance to a wide range of people, including students, professionals, speakers and business leaders, and she has mentored allied health and yoga professionals. She also offers crisis support and volunteers with aged and at-risk populations. She welcomes conversations about availability outside her posted hours when evening appointments are difficult to find, and she supports clients who prefer a yoga-informed or holistic perspective alongside psychological care.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then commit to actions that reflect their values - it is often useful for stress, anxiety and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns formed in early relationships and helps clients explore how these patterns affect current partnerships and emotional responses, which can be especially helpful for relationship and abandonment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the center of the process, offering empathic, non-directive support that encourages self-discovery and personal growth and can suit people seeking a respectful, gentle space to work through challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy itself. Samita works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so the work remains relevant and practical. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved and supported in planning their care.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care across life changes. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals and therapists from locations where in-person services may be less convenient, while preserving the same therapeutic focus on skills, insight and meaningful progress.
