About Disha

Disha Khatter is a counsellor practising in Australia with four years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges and depression. She speaks English and Hindi and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and human.

Her style is person-centred. Sessions focus on understanding each person's story and the patterns that keep causing pain. Disha works in a calm, respectful way so people feel heard and can explore difficult memories or feelings without rush.

She also uses Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a structured approach that helps people process traumatic experiences and reduce unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. When the situation calls for it, she blends structured techniques with more open conversation to suit the person's needs.

Disha often supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and family-of-origin difficulties, body image and caregiving stress. She pays attention to how everyday life - parenting, separation, or blended family dynamics - affects mood and relationships.

Work in sessions is collaborative. Disha and the person set practical goals and try out ways to manage panic, anxiety or low mood between sessions. She encourages small steps, realistic experiments, and checking what helps in day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Person-centred practice focuses on listening and following the person's lead, helping them name what matters and decide next steps. In online or remote sessions this looks like time spent building rapport, checking in about goals, and using conversation to make a plan that fits everyday life.

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy combines structured tasks with supportive discussion. It helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts, learn coping skills for strong emotions, and gradually process distressing memories. This approach can be broken down into short exercises that suit remote sessions and are practised between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and comfort. That decision is reviewed over time so the plan can change if something isn't working.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, have shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel to appointments. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt exercises and homework for remote delivery so progress continues between sessions.
