Background and approach
She uses straightforward tools to reduce overwhelm and improve coping skills, then adapts the work to the person’s pace and goals. Samita draws on psychological study alongside meditation and yoga-informed practices. She combines approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred techniques to help with emotional regulation and clearer thinking.
The aim is practical change that fits everyday life, not complex jargon. She has long experience supporting professionals, business leaders and people navigating major transitions. Samita also has experience offering crisis support and mentoring other practitioners.
Her work includes attention to body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, attachment issues and communication problems. Sessions are offered in English and run online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People in Australia can start by using the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire to arrange an initial session.
How Samita’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward the values that matter. It can help with anxiety, stress and decisions about life change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for low mood, anxiety and managing anger. Client-Centred Therapy creates a respectful, non-directive space where the client leads the pace and focus, which helps people who need steady, compassionate support.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samita will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then use one or a mix of approaches that fit those needs. The process is collaborative - she checks in and adjusts methods as progress and priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video helps with face-to-face connection and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat works well for short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments.
