Meet Nick

Nick Gotsis is a Clinical Psychologist and the founder of Men's Life Psychology, providing evidence-based psychological services with a focus on men's mental health and professional wellbeing. He works in a compassionate, solution-focused way, collaborating with clients to build self-awareness, strengthen resilience and take meaningful steps toward a more fulfilling life in a safe, non-judgmental space.

Nick's dedication to men's mental health grew from both his professional work and his own experience, where he saw first-hand the systemic stigma that prevents men from seeking timely support. Recognising the need for focused, evidence-based care, he committed to building services and programs that reduce barriers, dismantle stigma and create genuine pathways to support.

At the heart of his approach is a drive to question limiting, traditional ideas of masculinity. Nick works with each client to move beyond rigid expectations and define what strength, vulnerability and personal fulfilment mean on their own terms.

Clinically, Nick works with adults and adolescents aged 16 and over navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, addiction and relationship difficulties. He also supports clients through burnout, grief and loss, sexual health and intimacy concerns, parenthood, the psychological impact of cancer diagnosis and treatment, and gay, bi and queer-related experiences and identity.

His approach is integrative and individualised, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).

Nick's path to clinical psychology is shaped by over 20 years of international corporate experience across the public and private sectors. Before retraining as a psychologist, he led human resources teams and held senior leadership and C-suite roles in Australia and overseas, working with executive teams, boards and global organisations including Cotality, ING Bank, IKEA and various government bodies. That direct exposure to high-pressure environments informs his work with clients facing burnout, occupational trauma, leadership challenges and complex career transitions.

Nick holds a Master of Clinical Psychology, Bachelor of Arts (Honours, Class 1), Graduate Diploma in Psychology, Bachelor of Business and Graduate Certificate in Human Resources. He is a Member of the Australian Psychological Society (MAPS) and a certified Executive Coach, facilitator, and trainer.

Nick consults from the Surry Hills rooms and online via telehealth, and is available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
