He is registered with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) - a professional body for counsellors - and offers calm, grounded support for people navigating difficult moments in life.

He focuses on issues such as trauma, anger, and grief, creating a supportive environment where people can feel heard and begin to move forward.

Working in Australia and offering therapy in English and Persian, Peter aims to provide approachable, evidence-informed care. He welcomes adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and a range of related life challenges, and he frames therapy as a collaborative process tailored to each person’s needs and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Parsa "Peter" Samii-Rashti draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide his online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and patterns that keep a person feeling stuck.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a collaborative relationship. In this approach Peter creates a respectful, non-judgmental space where clients set the pace and direction of their healing, which supports issues like grief, anger, and low self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Peter works collaboratively with each person to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors sessions over time so the therapeutic plan evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy with Peter is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility to choose what feels most comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access support from different locations within Australia, and maintain continuity of care when schedules change.
