About Samita
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions aim to be collaborative and solution-oriented. She listens first, then helps people break problems into manageable steps and develop clearer ways to respond to difficult feelings.
Samita blends evidence-informed therapies with practices from yoga and hypnotherapy that she has studied. That combination supports emotional regulation, calmer thinking and better sleep for many people she works with. She emphasises small, consistent changes rather than quick fixes.
Clients come for help with issues such as depression, anger, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing caregiving stress, chronic illness, adoption and abandonment concerns, and ageing and geriatric issues.
Samita has an MSc in Psychology and further postgraduate training in counselling and the science of living, yoga and meditation. She has provided guidance to students, professionals and leaders across different countries and mentors other health practitioners.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to take action aligned with their values. It can help when worry, avoidance or low mood are getting in the way of everyday life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioural changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues and anger by teaching practical coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samita will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will suggest which methods might suit best. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not specify which online session types are offered. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what to expect. In general, online work can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people combine talk-based techniques with breathing, relaxation or mindfulness exercises drawn from her yoga-informed practice.
