Nick Chizzoni

Nick's passion is in helping people move from anxiety, stress and rigid loops from the past towards peace, flow and internal fulfilment, working from the inside out.

Early in his career he trained extensively across CBT, ACT, schema therapy and relational psychodynamic psychotherapy before finding alignment with EMDR. What resonated with him is the proposed mechanisms of memory reconsolidation and working memory taxation, hypothesised to help update the brain's predictive models. His EMDR training has since gone well beyond basic training and the standard protocol (EMDR 2.0, attachment-focused EMDR, relational integrative EMDR, EMDR for children and adolescents, and EMDR for complex trauma and dissociation), and he now works largely in EMDR intensives, results oriented concentrated therapy over a shorter period.

Who he works with

• Adults carrying complex and attachment trauma

• Neurodivergent adults wanting deeper self-understanding

• High-performing professionals managing stress, workaholism and burnout

Background

• 8+ years registered, much of it rural and remote Australia including the Royal Flying Doctor Service and First Nations communities, alongside tertiary-level government and non-government teams and senior leadership roles

• 300+ assessments and diagnostic reports (ADHD and Autism, children and adults)

• Consultant psychologist, Ngak Min Health, North Queensland

• Board Director of Australian Clinical Psychology Association, advancing clinical psychology in Australia

Outside the clinic you will find him training for his next triathlon, or walking the coastline listening to a podcast with a coffee in hand.
