About Jack
Jack Chiu is an AHPRA-registered practitioner with six years' experience. He aims to build a warm, genuine connection and shapes sessions around each person's goals and needs. He prefers a calm, attuned approach that helps people feel heard and understood from the first meeting.
Jack uses a mix of Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive-behavioural techniques and attachment-informed work. He draws from these approaches flexibly, choosing what fits each person's situation rather than rigidly sticking to one model.
Background and approach
Sessions can include practical skills, values-based goal setting, and reflective conversation about life stories and relationships. He works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar, ADHD and issues linked to relationships, parenting and career. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, mood disorders, sexual assault and family of origin problems.
Jack also supports people facing grief, life changes and challenges connected to LGBT identities. His background spans not-for-profit services, corporate settings, education, community clinics and independent practice. He has experience managing clinical teams and provides training and supervision to other psychologists and mental health practitioners.
Jack offers sessions in English and works with adults and adolescents. He aims to make therapy practical and relevant, helping people develop clearer choices, coping strategies and a renewed sense of direction.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Jack directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How Narrative and ACT ideas work online
Jack uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves. This approach makes it easier to separate problems from identity and to notice alternative storylines that support change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and to take small actions that reflect those values while managing difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-informed work pays attention to patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current behaviour.Choosing the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. Jack will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and experiment to find what helps most. The plan can change over time as needs and circumstances evolve.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection or ongoing support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to work on stress, anxiety, relationship issues and addiction-related goals without needing to be in the same room as the therapist.
