Jack Chiu

Jack Chiu is an AHPRA-registered practitioner with six years' experience. He uses a warm and genuine style to build a working relationship with each person. Jack aims to create a calm setting where people can talk honestly about what matters to them and start making small changes.

Jack draws on several approaches when they help the work move forward. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside mindfulness and attachment-informed ideas. Sessions might mix practical strategies with reflective conversations, depending on what the person needs.

He has worked in not-for-profit services, schools, community clinics, corporate settings and private practice. That range of settings informs how he helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma-related concerns. Jack also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, career shifts and anger issues.

Jack has experience with adolescents and adults and offers supervision and training to other psychologists and mental health workers. He describes the therapeutic relationship as the engine of change and focuses on matching tools to each person's goals.

People can expect straightforward conversation, gentle challenge when needed, and practical steps to try between sessions. Jack encourages questions and works collaboratively to adjust the approach as progress or obstacles emerge.

Approaches that guide online work and practical sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction. It often uses simple exercises to explore values and reduce avoidance of difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and is commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people develop different ways of relating and regulating emotion.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jack treats the selection as collaborative and will discuss which methods suit someone’s needs, goals and day-to-day life. He can adapt sessions over time if a different focus makes more sense.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a quick strategy review is needed. It also lets people use mindfulness or skills practice in the moment between commitments. Appropriately registered therapists can adapt homework, breathing exercises and behavioural experiments to suit remote sessions, helping people keep progress moving even when life is busy.
