Mr Nick Rayner Psychologist

I am very keen to meet with you and I am looking forward to providing a successful therapeutic alliance over the video-health system. During our journey, I am hopeful that we will be able to successfully work together to create the life you have dreamed of and have earned. I believe that creating and practising sustainable change is only possible when working with people holistically and with client input. I have always been concerned about traditional, clinical styles of therapy, so alternatively I am committed to treating you as a real individual and work together to help you live your best life. The best type of psychologist is one who tries to work themselves out of a job, and that is exactly what I intend to do for you! I am personally motivated when people take a proactive approach towards improving their state of mental health. There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t appreciate how much of a privilege it is to get to know my clients and work together with them in the most meaningful way.
