About Peta
Peta Carmock offers a calm, accepting place for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or worn out. She understands how hard it can be to ask for help after carrying things alone. Peta aims to make the first steps easier by being warm, down-to-earth and non-judgemental so people can start to feel understood.
Her sessions are collaborative and practical. She listens first, then helps people find small, useful tools for day-to-day life.
Background and approach
The focus is on what feels most helpful to each person rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Peta draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred listening. She also uses skills from cognitive behavioural and mindfulness approaches to suit different needs.
These approaches are used to help with anxiety, low mood, grief, stress and relationship difficulties among other concerns. Over nine years of practice she has supported people through burnout, trauma, chronic illness and life transitions. Peta also works with issues such as overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism and problems with self-worth.
She adapts sessions to the pace someone needs and focusses on realistic steps forward. Peta is a PACFA counsellor based in Australia and conducts sessions in English. She offers a respectful space where clients can reflect, practise new ways of coping, and build consistency over time.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Peta commonly combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred listening. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding emotions and patterns in relationships and can help people make sense of feeling stuck or disconnected. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. Client-centred work means sessions follow the person’s pace and priorities, offering empathy and steady support.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Peta will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adjust methods based on their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that aims to find practical steps people can try between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel and reading non-verbal cues, while phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins, regular reflection and for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity during times of change.
