About Hamish
Hamish Spick is a psychologist registered with AHPRA with eight years of experience in mental health. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and major life changes. Hamish speaks English and Spanish and practises in Australia.
He focuses on practical strategies that help with day-to-day problems. That can mean short-term work on a specific issue, or longer conversations about patterns that keep repeating. Hamish aims to help clients notice what is getting in the way and try different ways of responding.
In sessions he draws on a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s goals. Examples of issues he addresses include abandonment, communication problems, separation and divorce, and challenges around money or career direction. He also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness and questions about life purpose.
Hamish has spent years helping people through difficult transitions, such as immigration stress, end-of-life matters for a loved one, or midlife and men’s issues. He uses straightforward discussion and practical exercises rather than abstract theory. Sessions aim to be clear and focused so people can try small changes outside the room.
For those unsure how therapy fits their life, Hamish encourages an initial meeting to discuss goals and plan a way forward. Booking starts by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
Approaches used in online sessions and why they help
Hamish works with a blend of evidence-based techniques. Cognitive approaches help people notice and test thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood, and then try different ways of thinking and acting. Acceptance-based methods teach skills to live with difficult feelings while staying focused on personal values and goals. Solution-focused work narrows attention to concrete steps and small changes people can try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options with clients and choose methods based on their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made or goals shift.
The therapist’s biography does not list which online formats are offered. Please confirm available session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work or family routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are busy. They can also make scheduling across time zones simpler for people in different parts of Australia.
