About Jack
Jack Chiu is an AHPRA-registered clinician with six years of experience supporting people through stressful and painful times. He takes a gentle, warm approach and focuses on building a trusting connection so people feel heard and understood.
He works in a straightforward, practical way. Sessions often involve talking through current struggles, setting small goals, and practising skills that make daily life easier. Jack adapts his methods to the person in front of him rather than using a single technique for everyone.
Jack uses a blend of evidence-informed approaches, including Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas. These methods can help with motivation, values-based living, and understanding relationship patterns that keep problems repeating.
He has supported people with anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and grief, as well as mood and neurodevelopmental issues such as bipolar and ADHD. Jack also helps with relationship stresses, parenting concerns, and career pressure.
His background includes roles in not-for-profit services, community clinics, education and private practice, plus work managing clinical teams and providing supervision to other clinicians. He aims to make sessions practical, approachable and tailored to each person’s needs.

How Jack uses evidence-based approaches online
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change by exploring values and ambivalence in a non-judgemental way. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking next steps.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters and building small actions that align with those values, while teaching simple skills to manage difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-based ideas look at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions, helping people change repeating patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jack will discuss options with the person and decide together what feels most useful based on goals and preferences. He tailors sessions so they stay practical and relevant to daily life.
The site’s session formats are not listed in Jack’s biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that working this way still allows for focused therapeutic work and skills practice that transfer into everyday routines. -
