About Hamish
Hamish Spick is an experienced psychologist with eight years working in mental health. He offers a calm, non-judgemental presence to help people start difficult conversations. He is comfortable talking about stress, anxiety, relationship strain and major life changes, including money and financial issues when these are causing distress.
Hamish blends practical strategies from several evidence-based approaches to match what each person needs. He focuses on clear goals and small, manageable steps rather than overwhelming plans. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with room to name emotions and build coping skills.
People come to him for help with depression, trauma and abuse, and persistent mood difficulties. He also helps with specific worries such as abandonment, communication breakdowns, divorce and separation, and feelings of isolation or shame. Practical matters such as hospice and end-of-life concerns, immigration stress, and money-related anxiety are also within his remit.
Hamish works in English and Spanish and practises in Australia under AHPRA. He aims to make therapy straightforward so people can fit it into everyday life. If you want a supportive guide who helps set clear steps, he may be a good match.
To begin, people follow a short sign-up and matching process and then schedule sessions to suit their availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
How his methods translate to online therapy
Hamish draws from several evidence-based techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. For example, cognitive-behavioural ideas focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and commitment style work helps people clarify what matters to them and begin small actions that move life in that direction.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hamish will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The emphasis is on simple experiments and steady steps rather than complex theory.
If you want to try online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that keeping sessions regular and focused helps them apply what they practise between meetings.
