I’m Nick Avery, a Mental Health Accredited Social Worker and a proudly neurodivergent, non-binary person living on Kaurna Country in Adelaide. My work is shaped not just by my training, but also by my lived experience navigating Autism, ADHD, and gender diversity. I know what it feels like to move through the world with a brain that works differently—and the power of finally finding spaces where you don’t have to mask or apologise for it.

I’ve spent years working with people experiencing complex mental health issues, with a focus on suicide prevention, loss and grief, and supporting victims within the criminal justice system. My approach blends modern psychotherapy with experiential practices such as mindfulness, Rebirthing Breathwork Therapy, and Family Constellations Work. I aim to create a space where people can explore their inner world with safety, curiosity, and zero judgement.

I have recently completed the Mind Medicine Australia Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Certificate and am committed to shaping trauma-informed, culturally respectful approaches in this emerging field in South Australia.

Outside the therapy room, you’ll usually find me spending time with my wife and two kids, practising Taekwondo, or reading the latest Dungeon Crawler Carl book.
