Nikki is a warm and dedicated clinical psychologist who believes that healing starts with real, human connections. Nikki is committed to helping people explore and heal core wounds, creating space for transformation and deeper connections with themselves and others. She specialises in working with those who have experienced trauma, and has a special interest in helping people navigate intimacy and relationship concerns. Nikki is particularly passionate about guiding those who feel disconnected from their authentic selves — often showing up as people pleasing, perfectionism, or a sense of emotional disconnection from others.
Her clinical experience spans a variety of settings, including hospitals, criminal justice, and government sectors. Beyond Flux, Nikki holds a position as a senior clinical psychologist in a specialist trauma service in public mental health, and provides clinical supervision to other psychologists as they navigate their own therapeutic practices.
Nikki adopts a relational approach to therapy, which means that she brings genuine reactions to the experiences shared, explores the feelings that arise within the therapeutic relationship, and uses this connection as a safe and consistent space for healing. Nikki finds deep meaning in her work as a therapist and warmly invites you to reach out!
