Hi, I am Peter Odendaal

I value the opportunity to join clients on a journey of self-discovery and I am passionate about assisting them in developing new insights, coping skills, and ways to build strong relationships.


I have over 30 years of experience in counselling and mentorship. I use a Client-Centered approach, incorporating many evidence-based psychotherapy models, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy, tailored to best suit every client's needs.


The counselling journey can be an enriching experience, and I look forward to helping you achieve a greater sense of understanding, self-awareness, peace, and fulfilment.


I work with adults, couples, and children aged 16 and over.


What clients say about me


DC - Sunshine Coast


I started sessions with Peter following a particularly difficult period, due to the breakdown of my marriage and the subsequent anxiety and self-questioning that resulted. Peter has been an excellent counselor and in many ways mentor with a huge emphasis on listening in order to consider his next words. He has an ability and empathy which is natural and intuitive coupled with an expansive knowledge of his field. Through Peter's guidance, I have learned to identify and counter my negative core beliefs amongst other things, and have experienced a significant improvement in my overall mental wellbeing. I would highly recommend Peter.



JB - Brisbane


Working with Peter has been extremely easy. His patience and ability to convey a subject is refreshing and calming. I feel the ability for myself to understand where I have been in the past and how it has affected me, and how it has influenced my decisions throughout my life now allows me to make more rational choices, informed and purposeful, not reactive choices.


Having my eyes opened to the effects my past trauma has had on my life allows me to be so much more understanding and willing to be graceful to others.
