About Samita
Samita Rathor is a counsellor with 15 years of experience who draws on Jungian ideas alongside practical therapy methods. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain or life changes. Her manner is calm and non-judgemental, and she aims to listen first so the person can make sense of what matters most to them.
Samita adapts sessions to each person rather than using a single template.
Background and approach
She combines talk-based work with tools from cognitive behavioural and acceptance approaches to help manage difficult feelings. Conversations are aimed at building steadier emotion regulation and clearer next steps. She also pays attention to attachment patterns and how those shape relationships.
That focus is useful when communicating hurts, dealing with abandonment concerns, or repairing trust. Samita works with issues such as depression, anger, sleep and eating concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD and addiction-related struggles. Her background includes PACFA credentialing and extensive study in psychology, counselling and the mental aspects of yoga and meditation.
She has practised internationally and has experience mentoring other health and wellbeing professionals. Samita offers several online session formats including video, phone, live chat and messaging. The practical aim is to make therapy fit around busy lives while helping people build coping skills, improve relationships and manage emotional pressure.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Jungian-informed work looks at personal meaning, symbols and life stories to help people make sense of recurring patterns and inner conflicts. This can be useful for those who want to understand deeper themes behind relationship problems, abandonment fears or ongoing mood shifts.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It uses simple exercises to clarify values and take small actions that align with what matters, which helps with anxiety, stress and managing change.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will try methods that suit your needs. That shared planning helps adjust the balance between insight work and practical skills as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone conversations, live chat and text messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video lets you use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and brief chat or messaging suits short check-ins or working around a busy day. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practise skills between sessions.
