Kalen Peterson

Kalen is a provisional psychologist with a Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) from
Griffith University and a Master of Professional Psychology from Southern Cross University.

He loves supporting children, teenagers, and young adults as they navigate life’s challenges
and discover their strengths.

Kalen believes therapy works best when everyone feels comfortable, understood, and
genuinely supported. He works closely with families, knowing that the real magic often
happens outside the therapy room — in everyday routines, relationships, and moments of
connection. His calm, down‑to‑earth style helps clients feel at ease from the moment they
walk in.

Approach to Therapy
Kalen takes a laid‑back, person‑centered, and strengths‑based approach, always keeping
trauma‑informed care at the heart of his work. He understands that trust takes time, and
he’s committed to building relationships that feel safe, respectful, and empowering.

He works collaboratively with families to create strategies that fit naturally into daily life,
helping clients build skills that feel meaningful and achievable. Kalen goes the extra mile to
make sure his clients leave each session feeling lighter, supported, and more hopeful.

Outside the Clinic
When he’s not in the clinic, you’ll likely find Kalen out running or cycling, playing the drums,
or enjoying good food with his partner. He’s also a big rugby league and cricket fan and is
always happy to chat about the latest game.
