About Hamish
Hamish Spick is an experienced psychologist with eight years working in mental health. He offers a calm, non-judgemental presence so people can talk about what matters. Hamish aims to make first sessions straightforward and practical so worried parents can get a sense of next steps quickly.
He helps people facing stress and anxiety, as well as depression and the fallout of trauma and abuse. Relationship strains, major life changes and coping with loss also sit within his focus.
Background and approach
Hamish pays attention to problems such as abandonment, communication breakdowns, infidelity and family difficulties. Hamish draws on a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person. That means sessions can include skill-building, problem-focused plans and chances to reflect on patterns that keep coming up.
He balances practical tools with space to process feelings. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to suit different speakers. He works with issues like money stress, midlife questions, life purpose and feelings of isolation or guilt.
Hamish supports men who want a straightforward approach to their concerns. People who choose Hamish usually want clear steps and a respectful space to talk. He encourages small changes that can reduce overwhelm.
If someone wants someone steady to plan realistic next steps, Hamish aims to provide that support.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Hamish commonly uses cognitive-behavioural techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. These methods teach practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood and stress through step-by-step strategies such as behavioural experiments and activity planning.He also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas which help people clarify what matters to them and take values-based action. This approach is useful for coping with uncertainty, life transitions and feelings that are hard to shift. Motivational strategies are used when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about change, helping to build momentum and set realistic goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Hamish will talk through options with each person and tailor techniques to their needs, goals and preferences. He aims to agree on a plan everyone feels comfortable trying and to adjust it as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical choices. Video calls are useful when visual connection helps the work, phone sessions can be an easier fit for shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or when writing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, school and family commitments and to maintain continuity when schedules change.
