I am 35 years old, and I’ve been working with Nic for the past six months, and I can honestly say that his coaching has completely transformed my life. Before starting, I struggled with ADHD and often felt overwhelmed, unable to cope with daily challenges. Nic not only provided practical strategies to help me navigate these struggles, but he also recommended an incredible institution for professional support and guided me through the entire process. What sets Nic apart is his personable, kind, and patient approach. He creates a completely non-judgmental space, which allowed me to open up about things I was previously too afraid to admit. That trust and understanding made all the difference in my progress. Now, six months later, I’ve successfully completed my first course, gained confidence in myself, improved my concentration, and become more present in my daily life. One of my biggest breakthroughs was finally finishing a one-year VET course that I had put off for nearly ten months, along with completing major renovations that had been piling up. Thanks to Nic’s guidance and support, I was able to tackle both in a short amount of time—something I never thought possible before. If you’re looking for an ADHD coach who genuinely cares and can help you take real, actionable steps toward a better life, I cannot recommend Nic enough. His support has been invaluable, and I’m incredibly grateful for the positive impact he’s had on my journey.

FAQs

In Hawthorn, the key distinction is training and registration. Psychologists complete a minimum of six years of university study and must be registered with AHPRA (the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency), which means they can provide Medicare-rebated sessions under a Mental Health Treatment Plan. Counsellors typically hold qualifications accredited through PACFA or ACA and are not AHPRA-registered, so their sessions are generally not covered by Medicare. Both can achieve excellent results, and many Hawthorn clients choose a counsellor when they want flexible, insight-focused support without needing a GP referral first.
