About Jack
Jack Chiu is an AHPRA-registered practitioner with six years' experience working in Australia. He works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression and major life changes. Jack also supports people dealing with relationship and family difficulties, grief, parenting pressures, and career concerns.
He draws on several therapeutic approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, mindfulness and attachment-based work. In sessions he talks through what matters to the client and uses practical techniques alongside reflective conversation. That may mean learning new skills for managing difficult thoughts, practicing emotion regulation, or looking at relationship patterns that cause pain.
Jack has worked across community clinics, not-for-profit services, education and private practice. He has experience supervising other clinicians and has supported teams in clinical roles. This background informs a practical style that balances skills training with exploration of personal history.
People meet him to get clearer about next steps, reduce overwhelming feelings, or change patterns that are holding them back. He often helps with substance and process addictions, mood disorders including bipolar, ADHD-related challenges, and recovery after sexual assault and abuse.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what the client wants to work on. Jack encourages small experiments between sessions and checks progress as therapy continues. If someone is thinking about starting therapy, he asks them to name what they want to change first, then they plan the first steps together.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take steps that align with their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck in life choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and teaching practical skills to change them. This approach often helps with anxiety, social fears and mood difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help when relationship problems or family of origin issues are part of the presenting difficulty.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms and past experiences and suggest which methods might suit best. Decisions are made together and can change over time as needs evolve.
Confirm which online session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into study or work schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets a person use techniques such as mindfulness practice, behavioural experiments and skills coaching from wherever they are, while the therapist and client test what works and adapt the plan as they go.
