About Peta

Peta Carmock brings a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to therapy, shaped by personal lived experience and an understanding of how vulnerable it can feel to ask for support. She aims to build a warm, non-judgemental space where clients are genuinely listened to and accepted as they are, and where practical strategies meet empathic care.

Peta works collaboratively with each person, tailoring sessions to individual needs and preferences. Her style is calm and grounded while remaining practical, offering tools and techniques that can be used in everyday life to manage stressors and emotional overwhelm. She supports people through anxiety, panic attacks, stress and burnout, depression, grief and loss, trauma, relationship difficulties, low confidence and self-worth, workplace pressures, chronic health concerns and major life transitions.

Peta also supports those who struggle with overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, feeling stuck or disconnected, and a range of complexity including addiction, family and parenting challenges, sleep difficulties, ADHD and intimacy-related issues. She lists PACFA as a credential, which refers to the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia. Peta aims to offer a steady, empathic presence while helping clients find practical, evidence-informed ways to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online flexibility

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them and focuses on taking values-led action. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where someone wants to live more in line with what matters to them. Client-centred therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship where the client’s own experience guides the pace of change - it supports self-exploration, confidence building and the work of processing life challenges. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a practical, structured approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Peta works collaboratively with clients and appropriately qualified or registered professionals tailor these methods to each person’s needs, goals and preferences to identify what fits best. That collaborative process helps clients feel involved in deciding the direction of therapy.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for clients to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage ongoing commitments and access a therapist from home or elsewhere, while still working with experienced therapists who adapt therapeutic tools for remote formats.
