About Samita Rathor

Samita Rathor is a PACFA-credentialed therapist based in Australia with 15 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity and compassion, believing that each person brings unique strengths and resilience to the work of healing and growth. Samita emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental way of working - listening first, then tailoring support to each individual, couple or family rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all solution.

Her practice is solution-oriented and grounded in evidence-informed approaches that help clients process emotions, build emotional regulation skills and move toward healthier relationships and well-being. She works with young adults, couples, professionals and leaders on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, depression, addictions and coping with life changes. Samita also supports clients facing challenges related to ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, compassion fatigue and LGBT concerns.

Alongside her clinical work, Samita contributes as a crisis support specialist and volunteers with groups who need additional emotional assistance. She is experienced in integrating mind-focused techniques and practical coaching to support longer-term change, and offers flexible options to help clients access care that fits their schedules and needs. Samita is warm, pragmatic and committed to helping people find clearer direction and greater emotional balance.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to clarify what matters most and to build practical skills for accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward personal values. It is often helpful for anxiety, stress and life transitions where avoidance has become limiting.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating formed in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current connections. This approach can be useful for relationship problems, abandonment concerns and attachment issues across the lifespan.

Samita works collaboratively with clients to find the best therapeutic fit, discussing goals, preferences and practical needs to shape a personalised plan. She values a team-like process where therapist and client experiment with approaches and adjust as progress and insight emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter conversations are available via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during changes in schedule, and access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location within Australia.
