Pek offers a safe space to reflect, explore and become curious about who you are, and the different possibilities of who you might be becoming. Through our work together, we focus on deepening your connection to a more embodied sense of yourself, allowing insights and clarity to take root in your felt experience, actions and everyday life.
Pek’s holistic approach is underpinned by a person-centred, somatic approach that includes models of psychotherapy such as Hakomi, internal family systems and psychodrama, and is trauma-informed. Strategies from cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment therapies are used where appropriate. Currently in the final stages of Hakomi Psychotherapy training, Pek is an experienced Clinical Psychotherapist (PACFA), Registered Psychologist (AHPRA, AAPi), and Registered Play Therapy Supervisor (AAPTA)
Children: Pek has over 15 years of experience working with children aged 3-11, using developmentally appropriate child modalities such as Child-Centred Play Therapy (CCPT) and Filial Therapy. For older children, she incorporates expressive therapies and cognitive elements as appropriate. Pek views parental support as an essential part of child therapy and works collaboratively with parents to support and empower them in their child’s healing journey. Her approach is systemic, attachment-based and trauma-informed.

What is Child-Centred Play Therapy (CCPT)?
CCPT is not just play, nor is it the use of play to facilitate therapy. In CCPT, play IS the therapy just as adults talk in their therapy. CCPT is a developmentally appropriate approach for young children, utilising their strengths in self-expression, creativity, and drive to foster growth. It is a gentle yet powerful therapy that harnesses the power of your child’s creativity, backed by a strong evidence base.
Hakomi is a body-centred, somatic psychotherapy that focuses on your felt senses, including thoughts, feelings, emotions, and sensations. By developing our capacity to be aware of our whole selves, not just our ideas and thoughts, we study ourselves in the present moment, leading to the identification and healing of deep-seated patterns so that we can replace limiting habits with more supportive and authentic ways of being.
