I have had Nick as a therapist in both a group and 1 on 1 situation and he was excellent. No nonsense, smart dude who knows just which questions to ask. I'm so glad I know him.

Therapy is hard. I'm glad I have started it. But it's hard.
Reply from Nick Bowditch
It can be hard mate. But I'm so proud of what you have been able to do by sticking at it.

Nick is the best. I can't recommend him to you enough if you need to sort some things out in your head.

Blake
I have had therapy on Zoom before with another therapist, but we never quite clicked. I wanted to try face to face counselling and I'm stoked I decided to try it with Nick. Has made such a positive difference to my life. More...

Best decision I ever made. For me, for my marriage, for my kids. Invest in your own mental health, it's totally worth it.
Reply from Nick Bowditch

Melissa
I have attended two of Nick's group therapy programs and thoroughly enjoyed both of them. Therapy is difficult and confronting and having Nick supporting me through it was definitely worthwhile.
Reply from Nick Bowditch
It's been great having you in groups Mel. Thanks for putting in the work.
Pete
Nick has an uncanny ability to say the right things at the right time and be able to be silent at the right time too. I am stoked I started therapy with him. I was in a super dark place and now I have some hope. More...

Nick is an amazing support for me. He has been able to help me change my life and in some ways save my life. I am really grateful for his help.
Reply from Nick Bowditch
Hey Kate, thanks heaps for the review. This coming year is going to be great for you, I can't wait to keep watching you grow!
What do you love most about your job?
I love being able to create a really safe and welcoming and comfortable space for my clients to feel supported in a way that they might not be used to. The interactions that come once that space is established are amazing and when I can help someone resolve something that they have been held back by for such a long time, it's a great feeling.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have always lived with my own mental illness from when I was a kid. My mental health is well-controlled now because of my history of investing in myself and working with therapists and engaging in rehab in the past. Now well into my own recovery, I love bringing what I have learnt about myself to my patients and seeing them grow and heal in the same way that I have.
Why should our clients choose you?
I don't know if 'should' is the right question really. I would hope that they see me as someone they can trust, someone who won't judge them, and someone who has the empathy and the necessary skills and qualifications to help them be the best version of themselves. That's why I like the initial no-obligation chat that I offer because it gives us both the chance to work out if we are a good fit for each other.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I offer all of my therapy either in-person at my beautiful beachside clinic in Terrigal or in the CBD clinic in Gosford. I also offer therapy through telehealth via either Zoom or on the phone. I like the fact that my patients can choose the therapy delivery that they feel most comfortable with, whether on the phone, on Zoom, or sitting with me in one of my two clinics.
Individual Therapy
Individual counselling conducted either in-person face to face on the Central Coast of NSW, or online or on the phone.
Group Therapy
I run an Anxiety and Trauma group every Monday night at my Terrigal clinic from 7pm to 830pm. There are no more than 5 people in each group session and each session costs just $30 per person.
