About Parsa
Parsa "Peter" Samii-Rashti is an ACA counsellor with seven years of practice in Australia. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and depression. Peter speaks English and Persian and aims to help people who are worn down by repeated frustration or painful events.
Peter uses a mix of practical therapy methods rather than one single model. Sessions focus on noticing patterns that keep anger and anxiety cycling. He helps people name what happens in the moment and try small, manageable changes to behaviour and thinking.
In sessions he draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and client-centred ways of listening. That means there is attention to values and action, practical skills for thinking and behaviour, and a straightforward, person-focused conversational style.
People come to him for issues that overlap with anger - for example control problems, communication breakdowns, impulsivity and guilt. He also works with trauma-related symptoms, caregiver stress, chronic pain and relationship separations when those concerns link into mood or coping struggles.
He describes therapy as a collaborative process. Early meetings look at what is most pressing and what a person can reasonably try between sessions. Booking begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches and practical online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps in that direction despite difficult feelings. It is useful when anger or anxiety gets in the way of living according to personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. That can be helpful for managing outbursts, rumination and workplace stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review what feels useful and adjust methods over time. This will be a collaborative conversation about goals, preferences and what has worked or not in the past.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. If present-day arrangements suit you, the focus remains on practicing skills and applying small changes between sessions so therapy fits everyday life.
