Hello, I’m Nik Kazantzis. I’m a psychologist and researcher working in Toorak, Melbourne, Australia

It has been my privilege to work as a clinical psychologist across practice, research, and training contexts for over two decades. All of my work is grounded in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), the most evidence-based psychological therapy underpinned by the idea that perception creates reality. In a clinical context, this means that unwanted thoughts, emotional distress, unhelpful habits, and behaviors can be understood as the products of life experiences, rather than as permanent characteristics of a person. New learning is always possible.

I am fortunate to collaborate with leading scientists, practitioners, and educators from Asia, Australia, Canada, England, Europe, and the United States of America. Within these pages, you can find more information about our books for clinicians and research contributions in scholarly journals, including how the team’s work has been disseminated to mental health professionals in more than 20 countries worldwide. Each of us is a clinician first and a researcher second. We never lose sight of the privileged position we have in supporting a person one-on-one in the consultation room. Everything we do is about optimizing therapy practice.

Thanks for visiting,

N
