Disha Khatter, PACFA

Disha Khatter is a counsellor with four years of clinical experience in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges and depression. Disha offers a warm, respectful approach that invites honest conversation and steady progress.

She uses a person-centred way of working that begins by listening to each person's story. This helps identify patterns, triggers and the small changes that can make life more manageable. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon.

Disha also uses Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a structured method that supports people to process traumatic experiences in a paced way. That approach can help reduce distressing memories and teach coping skills for everyday life.

Her style is collaborative and tailored to individual goals. She encourages realistic, achievable steps and checks in about what is working and what needs to change. People can expect direct conversation balanced with calm, patient support.

Disha speaks English and Hindi and works with a wide range of relationship and family-related concerns, including attachment and abandonment issues, blended family stress, fatherhood questions and communication problems. She also addresses body image, caregiver stress, control issues, separation and forgiveness.

To begin, she asks people to reflect on what they want to change and to bring that into the first meeting. That practical focus helps shape clear short-term goals alongside longer term healing.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Person-centred therapy focuses on hearing each person's story and working from their priorities. The counsellor listens and reflects to help clients spot patterns and decide on small, practical steps to try. This approach suits people who want an empathetic, collaborative conversation about real-life problems.

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a structured way to process traumatic memories and build coping skills. It combines careful review of difficult experiences with techniques to manage upsetting thoughts and reactions, which can help with anxiety, depression and trauma-related distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest techniques that fit those aims. Together they review progress and adapt methods as needed, so treatment stays relevant and practical.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make appointments easier to fit into daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when full sessions are not possible. These practical benefits can help maintain consistency and momentum while working on midlife concerns and other life transitions.
