About Samita

Samita Rathor is a counsellor with 15 years of experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships and life changes. She works with adults facing depression, anger, addiction concerns, ADHD challenges and codependency, and supports people exploring issues around body image, communication and care-related stress. Samita uses a kind, non-judgemental approach and aims to steer conversations toward practical change.

Samita frames her work around each person’s unique needs. She listens first, then collaborates to identify small steps that feel achievable. Her style is grounded, solution-oriented and gentle rather than prescriptive. Clients can expect straightforward emotional tools and conversational support to help them feel steadier.

Her background includes an MSc in Psychology with a counselling specialisation, a MA in Science of Living, Yoga and Meditation, and a postgraduate diploma in counselling psychology. Samita is also an internationally certified Yoga Master and holds five advanced yoga certifications. She integrates mind-focused yoga practices and clinical hypnotherapy principles into her counselling when it fits the client’s goals.

Samita has worked with students, professionals, business leaders and changemakers, and has provided mentoring to physiotherapists, psychologists and senior yoga teachers. She also volunteers with older people and women in distress, and works as a crisis support specialist for an organisation.

Samita offers practical strategies for emotional regulation alongside conversational coaching. She aims to help people build steady daily habits, improve communication and recover a clearer sense of purpose and balance.

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and life transitions and helps build clarity about what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current trust and communication; it can help with relationship difficulties and codependency. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and showing acceptance, so people feel heard and can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to try methods that suit their goals and preferences. Sessions can include practical skills, reflective conversation and mind-based practices drawn from yoga or hypnotherapy principles when appropriate.

The therapist’s biography does not state which online or in-person formats are offered, so please confirm the available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It also means someone can choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage. Appropriately qualified or registered therapists can adapt the above approaches to work well in remote sessions.
