Jacob Szloch

Jacob Szloch - Clinical Psychologist

My name is Jacob and I am a Psychologist in Sydney. I was raised in country NSW before I completed my undergraduate at the University of Wollongong, then moved to Sydney to pursue my Master’s in Clinical Psychology at the University of Technology Sydney. I have now lived in Sydney for 5 years and have fallen in love with the city. 

I am also currently pursuing my doctorate with the University of Sydney in the clinical impacts of cyber identity theft and scams, to help build a better understanding of how to support victims of these crimes. I recently presented a poster at the CyPsy27 conference in Sydney. 

I utilise a wide range of different therapeutic techniques, depending on the needs of the person. Some of the techniques I utilise are Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT_ to address a wide range of mental health concerns, such as anxiety, depression, substance use, sleep disorders, and self-esteem issues.

I currently offer VR-assisted therapy, and I am aiming to deliver animal-assisted therapy by the end of 2025.

For more,  please check out my list of conditions I can assist with.

If you have any questions about whether I would be able to assist, please do not hesitate to flick an email or give us a call to have a chat.

Wattle the Dog

Wattle young Australian Cobberdog

Wattle is a young Australian Cobberdog from Queensland. Cobberdogs are a unique breed that boasts amazing therapeutic qualities, such as a calm temperament and strong eye contact. He is non-shedding and hypoallergenic, so your clothes will remain clean.

Wattle is a calming presence in the room and will happily sleep next to you all day. If you feel like you need space, he can happily sit away from you or not be in the room at all.

In his spare time, Wattle enjoys swimming at the beach and playing with his friends in the park.

Areas of Expertise:

  • Strong eye contact

  • Being amazing to pat

  • Hitting his KPI’s (Key Puddle Inspections)

  • Boofing at people on the street outside (how dare they)

Due to Wattles' busy life, he cannot be guaranteed to be part of all sessions.

Please Note: Due to delays with Wattles training program, he may not be present in the clinic until late 2025
