About Jack

AHPRA registered clinical psychologist with six years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma. Jack Chiu works in Australia and offers therapy for depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strain, bipolar mood issues and ADHD. He also supports people facing career pressures, self‑esteem struggles and life changes. Sessions use approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness techniques.

Jack takes a straightforward, relational approach. He treats the therapeutic connection as a core part of the work and focuses on building trust and clarity about goals. In sessions he draws on different methods depending on what a person needs, combining practical skills, reflective conversation and values-based exercises.

People meet for focused sessions that aim to address specific problems like compulsive behaviours, post-traumatic stress symptoms, social anxiety or process addictions. He also works with issues that stem from family of origin, attachment difficulties and shame. The emphasis is on learning skills to manage distress and on exploring patterns that maintain unhelpful behaviours.

Before therapy Jack gained experience across not-for-profit services, schools, community clinics, corporate settings and private practice. He has managed clinical teams and provides supervision and training to other psychologists and mental health practitioners. That background informs his practical, work-focused style.

Sessions are conducted in English. Jack uses evidence-informed methods and aims to adjust techniques to each person's life and goals. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session via the site's booking flow.

How Jack uses ACT, attachment work and CBT online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with them. It often uses brief exercises to reduce avoidance and build psychological flexibility, which can help with anxiety, depression and addictive patterns.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions. It helps people notice repeated relational habits and practise new ways of relating, useful for attachment issues, family of origin concerns and relationship difficulty.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Sessions typically include behavioural experiments, thought records and structured planning to reduce symptoms like social anxiety and mood disturbance.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. Jack will discuss goals and preferences and then adapt techniques from these approaches. The plan can change as progress and challenges become clearer, with the client involved in decision making.

If you are considering remote work with him, confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins and reduce travel time. Discuss practical needs and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire and arrange the first appointment.
