About Disha

Disha Khatter is a PACFA clinician based in Australia with four years of clinical experience working with adults. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures and depression. Disha offers sessions in English and Hindi and uses person-centred principles alongside trauma-focused methods.

Her early work focuses on listening to each person’s story and noticing patterns that keep them stuck. She aims to respond without judgement and to help people name what they feel. Conversations are practical and paced to the person’s readiness.

Disha also uses Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people process difficult memories and lower the intensity of distressing responses. That approach brings structure to work on trauma symptoms while keeping the client’s own goals central.

In sessions she helps people untangle issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, avoidant interpersonal styles, blended family tensions and communication problems. She also supports those coping with body image worries, caregiver stress, control issues, divorce or separation, and family of origin problems.

Her style is collaborative - she listens, suggests ways to test different ideas, and adjusts the plan as needed. People who come with a sense of guilt or shame about past actions or identity will find focused, steady conversation that aims to clarify choices and next steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Person-centred work focuses on listening and understanding each person’s story. In an online setting this means sessions prioritise clear, reflective conversation and checking in about what feels most useful. It helps with feelings of guilt, shame and relationship strain by slowing down unhelpful self-judgement and naming patterns.

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy breaks difficult experiences into manageable parts and teaches concrete skills to reduce distress. Online TF-CBT sessions typically combine skill practice, gradual processing of memories and regular review of progress. This can suit people working on trauma-related anxiety, intrusive memories or strong emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is something the therapist will do together with the client. She will talk about options, try methods that match the person's goals, and change course if something is not helpful. That collaborative process is part of planning sessions and deciding how to work between meetings.

If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the exact formats available before booking. The therapist’s profile does not list specific session formats, so checking current options ensures they fit your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and offer shorter check-ins when needed, while allowing a focus on practical skills and steady reflection.
