Counselling

Counselling - face to face Virtual Reality (VR)

Sessions are delivered with Peta, a registered Counsellor who has completed the Cool Kids Anxiety Program to support children, teens, and adults to build confidence, manage big emotions, and develop practical everyday skills. 

Peta’s approach is warm, relaxed, and evidence-based, with CBT at the core, the  golden rule being that no one leaves a session empty-handed, with each session adding a new skill to the client’s personal toolkit.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel serious or intimidating. Where appropriate, she incorporates CBT-informed virtual reality (VR) using VR goggles to make sessions engaging, interactive, and enjoyable. This may include VR games, practising calming strategies in immersive environments, or gradually facing worries in a safe, controlled way—while building real-life skills that transfer beyond sessions. For children especially, sessions often feel like play while meaningful skill development is occurring.

Sessions (groups or 1:1)  blend games, VR experiences, creativity, and conversation alongside practical CBT tools, mindful self-compassion, and gentle yoga-based techniques to support regulation of the mind and body. The focus is on helping individuals turn challenges into manageable steps, build confidence through supported practice, and develop lasting skills for everyday life.
