Integrated Wellbeing Psychologist, Mindfulness Teacher & Clinical Supervisor

Dr Sunita Rai supports individuals, couples, children, teens, families, groups, and organisations through psychology, counselling, mindfulness, supervision, and wellbeing-based support.

​

Her work brings together clinical and counselling psychology, mindfulness practice, wellbeing coaching, and professional supervision. She supports clients in understanding recurring emotional or relational patterns, developing steadier responses during stress or transition, and building practical skills that can be applied in daily life.

"Create positive ripples wherever you go by investing in your holistic wellbeing."

About Dr Sunita

Dr Sunita Rai has over 26 years of experience across psychotherapy and counselling, mindfulness and wellbeing, coaching, facilitation, lecturing, corporate training, staff development, and local and regional marketing.

​

Her clinical experience includes working with individuals, couples, children, teens, families, and groups across schools, children’s homes, counselling centres, family service centres, prisons, private practice, and organisational settings.

​

She has conducted talks and workshops for parents, teachers, and students in primary and secondary schools since 2006, and has practised mindfulness since 2009. Alongside her clinical and counselling work, she also lectures psychology and counselling modules, provides clinical supervision, and supports trainee mindfulness teachers.

​

As part of her doctorate research, Dr Sunita developed the Integrated Wellbeing Model (IWM), a wellbeing model that can be used by individuals and organisations. She speaks at conferences on IWM and is currently writing her third book on IWM and her fourth book on mindfulness and wellbeing.

How She Supports Clients

Dr Sunita works in an integrative and evidence-informed way, drawing from counselling psychology, mindfulness-based approaches, wellbeing coaching, and reflective practice.

​

She supports clients in exploring how thoughts, emotions, behaviours, relationships, and life contexts may be connected. Her work may help clients notice recurring emotional or relational patterns, develop steadier ways of responding to stress, and build practical skills that can be applied outside the session.

​

Her mindfulness background is also part of her wider professional work. She incorporates psychology and mindfulness into workshops, psychotherapy services, training, curriculum development, and the Integrated Wellbeing Model.

What a Client Shared About Dr Sunita Rai

Alex Wang

Sunita was my supervisor while I was taking my post graduate diploma in counselling psychology. As a supervisor, she has far exceeded any expectations I may have had. Her genuine care and concern for my growth and learning as well as her congruence as a person allowed me to see what a good therapist looks like while providing a safe space to find my own style of work. I also had the privilege of being her student in several modules, and I can say, as a private tutor and educator for the past 20+ years, Sunita is the best kind of lecturer one could hope to get: deeply concerned with her students' learning, takes feedback well, answers questions fully, and never dismissive or belittling. In both contexts, I have learned and grown with my interactions with Sunita. She is the type of perfusion the world can use many more of.
