About Peta
Peta Carmock is a calm and practical counsellor who helps people manage anxiety, stress and life changes. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can slow down and work through difficult feelings. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth, focusing on tools that fit everyday life.
Peta draws on nine years of experience to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. She uses simple practices to reduce overwhelm, manage panic, and improve sleep and self-esteem.
Background and approach
Conversations are paced to suit each person so change can feel manageable rather than rushed. Her work addresses grief, relationship challenges, depression, burnout, chronic health concerns and issues linked to trauma and abuse. She also helps with patterns such as people-pleasing, perfectionism, disconnection from self, and emotional overwhelm.
Peta supports clients navigating major life transitions and career stress. Peta combines practical strategies with reflective work about values and attachment. This includes mindfulness exercises, thinking skills to shift unhelpful patterns, and emotionally-focused ways to name and soothe strong feelings.
Sessions aim to leave people with clear steps they can try between meetings. Peta holds PACFA as a credential and works from Australia. She offers sessions in English and provides several online formats for therapy.
Her style is steady, compassionate and focused on helping people rebuild confidence and move forward at their own pace.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Peta commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, panic and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Peta treats that as a collaborative exploration, adapting methods to a person’s goals, pace and preferences. She checks in regularly to see what is helping and adjusts the plan together with the client.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face without travel, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats provide flexibility for work, family commitments and different comfort levels with being on camera.
