Peta Carmock

Peta Carmock offers a calm, down-to-earth presence for people feeling overwhelmed. She understands how hard it is to ask for help after carrying things alone. Sessions aim to be warm, non-judgemental and practical so people can start feeling steadier sooner.

Peta works collaboratively with each person to find what helps most. She listens first, then suggests straightforward tools and small steps to try between sessions. The focus is on everyday strategies that fit around real life demands.

Her experience covers anxiety, panic, stress, burnout and depression. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, relationship difficulties and low self-worth. Other areas of focus include ADHD, compassion fatigue, addictions and chronic health challenges.

Peta uses therapies that emphasise values, acceptance, thinking patterns and emotion work. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred listening, alongside mindfulness practices. The aim is to help people notice what matters and make workable changes.

With nine years in practice and PACFA listed credentialing, Peta offers practical support grounded in real experience. She encourages small, sustainable steps and honest conversations about what is and isn't working. If you want a steady, encouraging counsellor who helps you try useful tools, she aims to make that process simple and clear.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions aligned with those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and is often useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It offers practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and to build new coping habits, which can help with panic, worry and low mood.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on understanding emotions in close relationships and improving communication. It can be helpful for people wanting to understand patterns in their relationships or to feel more connected to themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods as the work progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when days are tight. It also makes it possible to continue therapy through life changes, while the therapist and client decide together which methods suit an online setting.
