Nic Morrey
Principal Psychologist
Contact: 0432 066 880
Web: www.integralpsychology.org
Email: contactnicmorrey@gmail.com
Services: Nic holds a space to help you to find yourself and you're great potential. When hidden themes and patterns are identified within the safety of the therapeutic relationship, the work begins, and a greater flow of life begins to trickle back into the heart.
Nic takes a whole spectrum approach to therapy, helping individuals access the centred self (Courageous, Curious, Calm, Compassionate, Connected, Confident, Creative and Clear). He has much experience within the areas of anxiety and depression specialising in supporting couples to find the patterns that keep most of us stuck in a relating style. We unpack the original wound, then the adaptive (usually childhood) responses to eventually set the thriving mature adult free of those unresourceful holding patterns.
​
Nic helps couples break free from co-dependence, like breaking an addiction. His approach allows the couple to find their own relational intelligence, guiding the couple to find their balance between too distant and too close, too many boundaries versus not enough boundaries, between freedom and constraints. Whether through the romantic phase or when parenting or as a couple in need of maintenance therapy, or when couples are needing help to work out if separation is the best option and then doing this well. Most couples are needing support.
​
Nic’s therapeutic style is influenced by his experience in Hakomi, Insight Meditation, Integral Psychotherapy, Imago, the psycho-neurobiological approach to couples therapy (PACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Relational Life Therapy (RLT) systemic/family constellations & the men’s health movement.
