About Jack

Jack Chiu is an AHPRA-registered clinician with six years of experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, addictions and family-related concerns. He works with adults who notice patterns from their upbringing are still shaping how they relate, feel and cope today. He also supports people facing life changes, grief, parenting strain and work stress.

Jack uses clear, practical methods in sessions. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches alongside mindfulness and DBT skills. Sessions tend to focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, practising new ways of responding, and building more useful day-to-day routines.

When family of origin issues come up, Jack helps people look at roles, expectations and recurring conflicts that started in childhood. He talks through how those patterns influence relationships, self-esteem and emotion regulation now. The work is about noticing habits, testing different responses and making small changes that fit everyday life.

His background includes work in not-for-profit services, education, community clinics and private practice. He has experience managing clinical teams and provides training and supervision to other clinicians.

Sessions are conducted in English and he does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location, and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online options button.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practise actions that align with those values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It suits mood, anxiety and some addiction concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current bonds and self-esteem; it can help with family of origin issues and ongoing relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jack will discuss what feels most useful and blend methods to match each person’s goals and preferences. The focus is on trying approaches in practical ways and checking what works over time.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the original profile does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and family commitments. They can also allow for shorter check-ins, sessions without video if needed, and more flexible scheduling to suit a busy week.
