About Hamish
Hamish Spick is an AHPRA-registered psychologist with eight years working in mental health across Australia. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression and major life changes. Hamish speaks English and Spanish and uses practical strategies to help clients clarify next steps in their lives.
Hamish focuses on clear, skills-based sessions rather than abstract theory. He draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person's goals. Sessions tend to include learning new ways to manage strong feelings, testing small changes in day-to-day life, and improving how people communicate under pressure.
People come to him for a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety. He also supports those facing abandonment issues, divorce and separation, family problems, grief and end-of-life matters, immigration stress, infidelity, isolation and questions about life purpose. Practical problems such as money worries and midlife decisions are part of the work too.
In sessions Hamish uses structured exercises alongside open conversation. This might mean setting short, achievable goals between sessions, practising new communication skills, or trying techniques to reduce intense stress and panic. He pays attention to what actually helps someone make small, steady shifts.
Clients can expect a straightforward, goal-oriented approach that moves at their pace. If you want to explore what matters next after a big change, Hamish helps people clarify priorities and take manageable steps forward.
Practical approaches for online sessions
Hamish uses several evidence-based approaches in his clinical work. Cognitive behavioural techniques help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and commitment style work supports clearer values-based decisions and practical steps toward what matters most.There is also an emphasis on skills from dialectical approaches, which provide tools for handling strong emotions and improving communication during conflict. Each method is described plainly and used where it fits the client's goals and current difficulties.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Hamish will talk through options, try things out, and adjust the plan based on what feels useful. The aim is to find methods that match a person's goals, abilities and everyday commitments.
