About Jack
Jack Chiu is an AHPRA-registered clinician with six years' experience working in Australia. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression and life changes, and he lists guilt and shame among his areas of focus. Sessions are presented in English and aimed at adults and young adults facing these concerns.
Jack draws on several practical approaches in his work. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. He also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current feelings and reactions.
In sessions, Jack prefers a straightforward, relational style. He emphasises building a reliable working relationship and then tries specific strategies to address symptoms and patterns. That might mean practising mindfulness skills, testing out small behavioural changes, or clarifying personal values to guide action.
He has worked in not-for-profit services, education, community clinics, corporate settings and private practice. Jack also provides supervision and training to other psychologists and mental health practitioners, and has experience with adult and adolescent clients in these settings.
People who come to him often bring issues such as attachment worries, family of origin problems, process addictions, PTSD, social anxiety, or concerns about identity and relationships. Jack aims to help people talk through those issues, weigh options, and try practical steps toward clearer choices.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, and then choosing actions that fit what matters to a person. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stuck patterns where avoidance is a problem.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and uses practical experiments to test new ways of responding. It can help with social anxiety, mood problems, and unhelpful thinking habits.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how earlier relationship patterns shape current reactions, and helps people recognise and shift those interaction styles. This can be useful for relationship strain, family of origin issues, and feelings rooted in early care experiences.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that suit the person. That process is collaborative and may change as new issues come up or goals evolve.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments around work, study or family life and reducing travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when bandwidth or background noise is a concern. The exact session options on offer should be confirmed before booking so the chosen format fits daily life.
