Mr Jackson Hill
Clinical Psychologist
Miami, Gold Coast, Australia.
Pleasure to meet you,
I am a clinical psychologist who values being present, curious, attuned, and patient with each person I meet. I provide a safe, welcoming space where we can explore your challenges, patterns, inner world, and strengths to find new ways to relate to yourself and others. I believe lasting change begins with a therapeutic relationship that feels safe and built on trust.​​
I have extensive training in psychodynamic and relational psychotherapy, Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy,and Compassion Focused Therapy. I take a flexible and holistic approach, drawing from these models in the room to shape therapy around each person’s unique needs.

Present. Curious. Patient. Inviting.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of people and settings, from probation and parole services, inpatient hospital clinics, and veterans, to elite athletes, entrepreneurs, and nationwide private organisations.
Alongside clinical work, I have taught into postgraduate and undergraduate psychology and medicine programs at Bond and Griffith University. I have also held senior psychologist roles in private organisations and elite sports academies.
​
My research, soon to be published in an international journal, explores the role of self-criticism and self-compassion in perfectionism, as well as the impact of self-compassion interventions on anxiety, depression, and stress in high-achieving athletes and university students.
​
Together, these experiences have shaped my specialty in working with adults facing complex and attachment trauma, emotional overwhelm, difficulties with trust and intimacy, challenges with self-identity, anxiety and depressive disorders, business and performance psychology, cosmetic and surgery psychology, and unexplained medical symptoms.

Fees and Rebates
In our first session, my aim is to get to know you and the reasons you’re seeking therapy. We’ll talk through your current concerns, your mental health history, and your experiences in relationships. By the end of this session, we’ll have a clearer sense of whether we’re the right fit to work together. This is something I see as essential for meaningful and lasting change.
​
It’s very common to feel nervous about beginning therapy, and many people are unsure where to even start. This is especially true if you come from a background of being more introverted, a caretaker for others, or someone who has learned to people-please. Taking up space for yourself in therapy can feel unfamiliar at first, but over time, most people find relief in having a space that is fully theirs.
The length of therapy varies depending on what you’re facing, though weekly sessions are often a helpful place to start. As therapy progresses, we’ll continue to review the frequency of sessions together. Some people seek therapy for symptom relief, and others for a deeper understanding of oneself for longer lasting change.
​
Each session runs for 50 minutes and is $229 (below the $318 fee recommended by the Australian Psychological Society). If you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, you can receive a Medicare rebate of $145.25 per session, for up to 10 sessions in a calendar year. Therefore, out of pocket per session is $84.
​
I keep a smaller caseload so that I can be fully present with each client and remain committed throughout their therapeutic journey. This also means we’re able to connect when difficulties arise, rather than having to wait several months for support.

NDIS $278; Work Insurance $318, Readiness for Cosmetic Surgery Assessment $335, Legal or Work Cover Report $500 p/hr.
