About Disha
Disha Khatter is a PACFA counsellor in Australia with four years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting concerns and depression. She works with adults who notice patterns from their upbringing affecting how they relate now. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer ways to cope rather than labels or jargon.
Disha uses a person-centred way of working that begins with listening to what matters most to the client. Sessions look at day-to-day reactions, communication habits, and the beliefs people carry from childhood into adult life. This helps identify small, repeatable changes that reduce distress and improve interactions with others.
She also draws on trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy to help people process distressing memories and learn skills to manage intense emotions. That method is used in a structured way, with attention to pacing and safety. It is aimed at reducing avoidance and building practical coping tools.
Disha often supports people dealing with family of origin issues, attachment concerns and difficulties around abandonment and trust. She also works with matters such as blended family adjustments, fatherhood issues, separation and forgiveness. Conversations are plain and focused on what clients need now.
Sessions are conversational and collaborative. She helps people make realistic plans for changes they want to see, and checks progress along the way. People who prefer English or Hindi can work with her.
Approaches used in online sessions
Disha combines person-centred work with trauma-focused cognitive behavioural techniques. Person-centred work involves close listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps identify recurring family patterns and practical steps to change how people relate to others.Trauma-focused CBT is a structured approach that teaches skills for managing strong emotions and reduces avoidance. It is often used when past events continue to affect daily life, helping clients process memories in paced, manageable steps.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. Disha will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, then recommend which methods to try first. She checks in regularly and adapts the approach as progress and feedback indicate.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Check the current session options before booking to confirm formats and timings. Many people find online sessions easier to schedule around work or caregiving responsibilities, or better for shorter, focused check-ins. Appropriately qualified therapists can offer the same kinds of therapeutic conversations online as in-person sessions, with attention to pacing and follow-up.
