About Samita
Samita Rathor is a counsellor with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulty and life transitions. She works with adults who want practical tools and clearer emotional understanding. Samita combines compassion with a straightforward, solution-oriented style.
She listens without judgement and shapes sessions around each person’s needs. Conversations focus on understanding feelings, learning calming skills, and choosing new ways to respond. Samita mixes emotional work with practical strategies so people can try something useful between sessions.
Background and approach
Her background includes a Master of Science in Psychology with a specialisation in counselling, a Master of Arts in Science of Living, Yoga and Meditation, and a postgraduate diploma in counselling psychology. She also holds training in clinical hypnotherapy and multiple advanced yoga certifications, and brings two decades of global mentoring experience.
Samita draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside cognitive approaches. That blend supports emotional regulation, improving communication, and shifting habits that keep people stuck. The work is collaborative - goals are set together and reviewed as progress happens.
She offers counselling for stress, depression, anger, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, ADHD, body-image and caring responsibilities. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a suitable time.
Samita aims to be kind, practical and clear while helping people take the next steps in their lives.

Online support
Approach-led online counselling and flexibility
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name core feelings and the ways those feelings affect relationships and behaviour. This can be useful for people wanting to understand emotional patterns and improve how they connect with others.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based action. It suits people who want practical ways to reduce avoidance and build a life aligned with what matters to them.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early patterns of relating and how they influence current relationships and emotional responses. It can help people change old patterns that cause repeated conflict or distress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try different methods where helpful, and agree on a plan together. This collaborative process aims to match techniques to each person’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and varying schedules.
