About Jamie Hegel — Registered Psychologist, Fremantle
I am Jamie Hegel, a registered psychologist based in Fremantle, Western Australia. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, stress, burnout, and questions of identity and self-worth.
I established Forward Thinking Psychology and Consulting because I wanted to offer something different from high-volume, high-turnover practice: a space where there is actually time to do real work. Therapy with me is unhurried. We go at your pace. The goal is not to get through a set of modules — it is to understand what is actually happening for you and to build something more solid.
How I trained and what I bring to the work
I am registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) as a registered psychologist (General Registration).
I draw on several evidence-based frameworks depending on what fits for you:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) — working with how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact, and building different responses to patterns that are not working.
Schema Therapy — exploring the deeper beliefs and patterns formed earlier in life that drive present difficulties. Particularly useful where problems feel longstanding or hard to shift.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — building psychological flexibility. Learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them.
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) — understanding how relationship patterns and life events shape mood and wellbeing.
None of this is rigid. The approach adapts to what you bring.
Who I work with
I work with adults and young people individually and with couples. Sessions are available in person at my Fremantle practice at Suite 6, Level 2, 152 High St, Fremantle — and via telehealth for clients who prefer it or are located elsewhere in Western Australia.
I accept Medicare (Better Access Mental Health Care Plan), NDIS (plan-managed and self-managed), DVA, and private fee.
