Nikki Lucas

Hi I’m Nikki, a PACFA registered psychotherapist with a masters of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I run a private practice in Adelaide, South Australia and also see clients via Zoom.

I am drawn to the somatic/body inclusive therapies due to my decades of hands-on body work. I offer a holistic and integrative style of therapy, drawing on a number of different, complimentary modalities. These include The Havening Techniques, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness and somatic meditation. I am also a certified Mind Body Eating Coach, and work with people to transform their relationship with food and body.

I first experienced Havening as a client, as the result of a nervous breakdown. I was certainly on the road to healing with the support of my therapist and feeling more stable, but it was our Havening session that truly made the biggest impact. It was like a light switch just turned off in my brain and I stopped the ruminating ‘health anxiety’ thoughts within days of the first Havening session. 

I feel honoured to be able to support people with this work and walk along side clients through their challenges and growth.
