Psychology & Psychotherapy Services with Chris Black
Find Support at Hobart Therapy
Many people struggle with trauma, painful memories, or difficult life events that can make day-to-day life challenging. Sometimes it’s for ourselves, other times for our partner or children — but reaching out for support can make a real difference.
At Hobart Therapy, I offer both short- and long-term support. Whether you’re looking for psychotherapy, trauma-informed therapy, EMDR, EFT, CBT approaches, DBT-informed practice, or help with anxiety, depression, trauma, borderline personality disorder (BPD), anger, or simply wanting more out of life — I’m here to help.
Work can also be a major source of stress. If you feel stuck, unhappy at work, or constantly dealing with difficult situations or colleagues, I can support you in finding ways to manage these challenges.
I’ll be honest — change isn’t always easy. In all honesty it takes hard work and challenges many different parts of us. But if you’re ready to work out how life could be different, the first step is getting in touch.
Appointments Available
I currently have appointments available with short wait times. With over 20 years of experience working in the mental health area, I bring both professional expertise and a compassionate approach to helping you move forward.
Together, we can work towards developing meaningful understanding. improving relationships, finding resolution with past events, and making peace with difficult emotions. It is entirely possible to develop new ways to ‘do life’.

EFT - Emotion Focused Therapy
Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) is a type of psychotherapy that helps individuals and couples process and transform emotions to improve their well-being and relationships. Grounded in attachment theory and humanistic psychology, EFT views emotions as adaptive signals that provide valuable information about personal needs, rather than mere symptoms.
Employee Asssitance Program (EAP)
Workplace challenges such as stress, burnout, or conflict can affect both professional and personal life. EAP sessions provide confidential, supportive therapy to help employees manage difficulties, improve wellbeing, and perform more effectively at work.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
Living with BPD can be overwhelming, with intense emotions, relationship struggles, and challenges with identity. Therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to understand these patterns and develop practical coping strategies. With the right support, it is possible to find greater stability and balance.
Supervision and Workplace Mentoring
In addition to therapy, I also provide clinical supervision and workplace mentoring. These sessions create a safe, space to strengthen professional practice, build confidence, and develop new skills — and that applies to whatever role you’re in whether you’re a professional, manager, or part of a team.
