About Jack
Jack Chiu is an AHPRA-registered clinician with six years' experience helping people with anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma. He works with adults who are coping with life changes, relationship concerns, parenting stress, grief and issues linked to mood or attention. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than long theory talks.
Jack uses short, focused interventions that people can try between sessions. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. Attachment-based ideas inform how he looks at relationship patterns and the effects of early family experiences.
His work includes support for sexual assault and abuse recovery, process addictions such as gambling or problematic sexual behaviour, and help with smoking or vaping cessation. He also addresses social anxiety, performance and career pressures, and the challenges many LGBT people describe when navigating relationships and identity.
Jack has worked across not-for-profit services, community clinics, education and private practice. He also provides training and supervision to other clinicians and has experience managing clinical teams. That background shapes a practical, outcome-focused approach in sessions.
Sessions are about noticing what is getting in the way and trying different strategies to change it. Jack prefers clear goals, simple behavioural experiments and regular review of progress. He offers therapy in English for people located in Australia.
How CBT, ACT and attachment work in online therapy
Jack commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test practical changes in daily routines. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and suits issues like anxiety, social phobia and low mood.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which focuses on values and on taking action even when uncomfortable feelings are present. ACT can be useful for people who want to reduce avoidance and live in line with what matters to them.
Attachment-based ideas are used to map relationship patterns and understand how early family dynamics influence current connections. This helps when addressing relationship strain, family of origin issues and attachment-related difficulties.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help work out which methods suit a person's goals, needs and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work and family routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on what is needed. If a quieter setting, lower bandwidth or no camera is preferred, those practical needs can be discussed when arranging appointments.
