Hamish Spick

Hamish Spick is an experienced psychologist with eight years working in mental health. He aims to make the first step easier with a friendly, non-judgemental approach that helps people feel heard. Hamish keeps language simple and practical so things discussed are easy to use afterwards.

He adapts what happens in session to each person’s goals. That means choosing tools and techniques that fit the issue at hand and the person in front of him. People come to him for stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties, and he can also support those dealing with trauma, life changes and loneliness.

Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings. Hamish often works on improving communication, managing strong emotions, and rebuilding routine after big life events. He explains ideas plainly and checks in about what’s useful and what isn’t.

He can also help with concerns such as abandonment, guilt and shame, divorce and separation, immigration issues, and questions about life purpose. Men’s issues and midlife transitions are part of his practice too. Hamish speaks English and Spanish for people more comfortable in either language.

Hamish is registered with AHPRA. He encourages people to pick a pace that feels manageable and to raise any worries about how therapy is going. To begin, use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a first meeting.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Hamish uses a selection of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors them to the person. Cognitive behavioural approaches focus on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; these are useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Acceptance and commitment style work helps people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and choose actions that match their values.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Hamish will work together with each person to decide which techniques suit their goals and preferences. He checks progress and adjusts the plan as needed so sessions stay relevant and manageable.

If you plan to try online therapy, please confirm available session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and let people meet from a familiar setting. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or audio-only conversations when video is not wanted. Discuss practical arrangements with Hamish when booking to find the best fit.
