Bartholomew Henrick is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychologist based in Newcastle. He works out of 17 Bolton Street, Newcastle NSW 2300, and offers therapy for people who want practical help with their mental health and wellbeing.
In his sessions, Bartholomew looks after both individuals and families. That can mean supporting someone through stress, anxiety, low mood, or other tough life moments. At times, people come in because their thoughts feel stuck, sleep has slipped, or everyday things are starting to feel too heavy. Other times, it’s about managing behaviour changes, handling conflict, or finding ways to cope when things don’t feel under control.
He also works with couples and families. Relationship strain, communication issues, and ongoing tension can affect everyone in the home. In many cases, therapy helps people slow things down, understand what’s driving the patterns, and make changes that are realistic for day-to-day life. Family therapy can be especially useful when everyone needs a shared plan, not just one person “getting better”.
Bartholomew’s approach includes behavioural therapy and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). CBT is a common way of working that focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. The goal is not just to talk about what happened, but to build skills that can be used outside the session. Sessions usually feel grounded and structured enough to be helpful, but not like a rigid rulebook.
Education and training are at the core of how he works. He uses evidence-based methods and keeps the process clear, so it’s easier to know what you’re working on and why. If things are complex, that’s okay too. Therapy can take time, and it often helps to go step by step, especially when you’ve been carrying strain for a while.
For people who are looking for support in Newcastle, Bartholomew offers individual therapy sessions, couples counselling, and family therapy. If you’re not sure what type of appointment fits, the best next step is to contact the clinic and ask what would suit your situation.
