Peta Carmock, PACFA

Peta Carmock is a PACFA counsellor with nine years' experience based in Australia. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, grief, depression and big life changes. She also helps people managing ADHD, addictions, burnout and low self‑esteem.

Peta draws on practical, down‑to‑earth methods that clients can use between sessions. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness tools to help people notice patterns and try small changes. Sessions focus on what is getting in the way now and what feels achievable next.

Her style is calm and straightforward. Conversations cover coping strategies, emotional regulation, communication skills and ways to reduce overwhelm. She pays attention to attachment and intimacy issues when those come up, helping people understand how old patterns affect current relationships.

Peta also works with concerns such as chronic health stress, caregiver strain, body image, dissociation and control or avoidance patterns. She uses Motivational Interviewing and Client‑Centered approaches to support people who want to change habits or address addictions.

If someone is coping with grief, trauma or complex loss, sessions balance practical tools with space to process feelings. The focus is on small, steady steps that fit into daily life. This approach aims to make progress feel sensible and sustainable.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Peta uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time, and fee levels vary with location.
