Nick has been one of Australia’s best motivational speakers for a long time now.

As a seasons psychotherapist and accomplished speaker, Nick specialises in translating complex psychological concept into accessible and actionable insights. With formal qualifications in Applied Science, Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy, complemented by post-graduate work in Positive Psychology, Social Psychology, Addiction Recovery, Suicide Behaviour and Prevention, and Behavioural Genetics, Nick is dedicated to promoting mental health and wellbeing.

Nick’s psychology research explores one of the most pressing questions of our time: why do people so often repeat patterns that hurt them, even when they want to change?

From compulsive behaviours like scrolling, spending, exercising, to substance use, Nick’s PhD research takes audiences behind the curtain of human behaviour, showing how easily our minds get hooked – and how freedom is possible.

By using artificial intelligence and machine learning models that he has personally built to spot the hidden signals of obsession and disengagement, Nick is uncovering insights that challenge the way we think about resilience, recovery, and choice.

He shows how these patterns shape the way we eat, drink, shop, work, and connect with those we love. His speaking blends lived experience, psychology, and technology, leaving audiences with scienfitic depth delivered with humour, hope, and humanity – and a clearer path to change.
