Meet Our Clinical Team

Dr. Gurprit Ganda is the Clinical Psychologist and Practice Director at Potentialz Unlimited, with over 25 years of practice supporting adults, adolescents, couples, and families across the Hills District and the rest of NSW. She holds AHPRA Clinical Psychology Endorsement — the highest tier of psychology registration in Australia, recognising advanced clinical training and supervised hours beyond the standard Registered Psychologist pathway — and is a member of the Australian Psychological Society and the College of Clinical Psychologists (CCLIN).

Many of Dr. Ganda's clients come to her for the work other therapists find too complex — long-standing trauma that has not shifted with previous therapy, adult ADHD assessments and post-diagnosis treatment, forensic and Section 14 medico-legal reports for the NSW judicial system, and couples therapy when communication has broken down. Her approach is integrative and pragmatic: EMDR for trauma, CBT and ACT for anxiety and depression, evidence-based assessment with the WAIS-IV, WISC-V, WIAT-III, CAARS, and ASRS conducted in-house.

Dr. Ganda also leads the practice's multilingual care, offering sessions in English, Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu — particularly valued by South Asian clients who want clinical psychology delivered with cultural fluency, without the work of translating themselves first.

New clients can book directly online, or ask their GP for a Mental Health Care Plan referral to Dr. Ganda at Potentialz Unlimited. Telehealth is available across NSW; medico-legal and assessment work is in person at Bella Vista.

Bhavini Ambaram is a Practitioner in Therapeutic Play who has spent more than six years helping children aged 3 to 12 work through the things they can't yet put into words — big feelings, hard behaviour at home or school, social struggles, and the after-effects of frightening experiences. She is internationally accredited through Play Therapy International (PTUK/PTSA), with clinical experience across South Africa, India, and Australia.

Bhavini's work draws on three deeply researched modalities — Synergetic Play Therapy (a neuroscience-informed approach to processing trauma through play), LEGO®-Based Therapy (an evidence-based program for social skills, particularly with neurodivergent children), and Parent–Child Attachment Play (which gives parents practical, playful tools to rebuild connection at home). Most families work with her in weekly sessions, supplemented by parent consultations so you can carry the work between visits.

Many of Bhavini's clients are families whose child has experienced something hard — domestic violence, medical trauma, developmental trauma, the separation of parents — as well as neurodivergent children (autism, ADHD), children struggling with school refusal, anxiety, friendships, or emotional regulation. She holds a current NSW Working with Children Check and regularly works with NDIS-funded clients (self- and plan-managed).

Working alongside our team: Bhavini is a Practitioner in Therapeutic Play, not an AHPRA-registered psychologist. When a family also needs psychological assessment, an autism or ADHD diagnostic, or Medicare-rebated psychological treatment for a parent, Dr Ganda or Sushama Sathe steps in for that piece — so your child and your family get the right clinician for each part of the work, all under one roof. Parents can book a free 15-minute orientation call to talk through whether therapeutic play is right for your child.

Samita Rathor is a Clinical Counsellor and Psychotherapist with decades of integrative practice across counselling, psychotherapy, and yoga-based mind-body work. She is a PACFA Clinical Registrant, the senior membership tier of Australia's recognised national body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and has experience working with a diverse set of clients and presentations in India, and Australia.

Samita works with adults and adolescents who are navigating life transitions, relationships and infidelity, marriage challenges, LGBTQIA+-affirming support, anger and emotional regulation, grief, and stress. Her practice blends evidence-informed counselling with yoga therapy, compassion-focused work, and mindfulness-based approaches, particularly suited to clients who want a holistic, mind-body approach to wellbeing alongside clinical depth.

Many of Samita's clients are South Asian or multilingual Australians who prefer to speak about what matters in their first language. Samita offers counselling in English, Hindi, Punjabi, Bengali, Tamil, and Urdu, and brings a culturally attuned lens to family, identity, and intergenerational themes that don't always translate well in mainstream therapy.

In parallel with her counselling work, Samita is a senior yoga educator who has mentored advanced yoga teachers internationally. This depth of mind, body, and breath training informs how she helps clients calm the nervous system, work with anger and reactivity, and build sustainable emotional resilience between sessions.

Working alongside our team: At Potentialz Unlimited, Samita partners closely with our AHPRA-registered psychologists. If a client also needs psychological assessment, diagnosis, or Medicare-rebated psychological treatment, Dr Gurprit Ganda or Sushama Sathe step in for that part of care, so you get the right clinician for each piece of your journey, under one roof. Samita is not AHPRA-registered as a psychologist; her counselling and psychotherapeutic work sits alongside, not in place of, psychological diagnosis or treatment.
