Hamish Spick

Hamish Spick is a psychologist with eight years of experience in mental health. He offers a warm, non-judgemental presence to help people feel at ease when they first come for support. Hamish speaks English and Spanish and works from Australia under AHPRA.

Hamish focuses on day-to-day concerns like stress, anxiety and depression. He also helps people who are coping with big life changes, relationship difficulties and trauma. Hospice and end-of-life counselling is listed among his areas of focus for people facing that stage of life.

Sessions with Hamish are collaborative. He listens first, then suggests practical ways to manage symptoms and improve communication. He aims to tailor each session to a person’s goals rather than following a single programme.

Hamish draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to suit the person in front of him. Examples include approaches that help reframe thoughts, build acceptance, improve emotional regulation and set realistic goals for change. He blends these methods to match the issue being addressed.

People meet Hamish when they want clear strategies and steady support. He encourages small, manageable steps and checks progress regularly. To begin, people can use the site Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions.

Approaches that guide online sessions and care

Hamish uses several evidence-based approaches and adapts them to each person. Cognitive strategies help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance-based methods focus on noticing difficult feelings and learning ways to live alongside them, useful for chronic stress or life transitions.

He also uses techniques that build emotional regulation and problem-solving skills, helping with relationship stress, anger or impulse control. The choice of approach is not fixed; Hamish works with each person to decide what matches their goals and temperament. This teamwork helps make sure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or fitting a break at work. If you prefer to avoid video, there may be other session arrangements available - please confirm current session options before booking. The therapist will discuss practical details and plan a way of working that suits the client’s routine and aims.
