Introducing Nick
As founder & lead coach, Nick is dedicated to bringing the benefits of Mental Health First Aid & awareness to all sectors of our society; from corporate settings to schools, and with a strong focus on reaching those most vulnerable with the support they need.
Although Nick has operated many businesses and worked in a broad range of roles and industries for many years, he founded The Mental Health Coach in 2019 specifically to focus on delivering MHFA training. Since then, it has grown and flourished into a multi-disciplinary practice, servicing a much more comprehensive range of mental health related needs for individuals, communities, businesses and other organisations across many diverse sectors of Australian society, even offering programs to international clients.
Nick is a passionate and experienced coach, counsellor and facilitator with over twenty years’ experience in learning and development. He has a wide breadth of experience in the leadership of diverse people and building high-performing teams using coaching skills as the underpinning methodology.
Nick is well known for his ability to inspire team engagement and to create learning opportunities for the groups or individuals he is coaching. He has significant experience in delivering training programs that result in tangible benefits for companies and teams, with a valuable focus on achieving a range of results defined by his clients. This experience also extends to coaching and mentoring others to create and deliver their own strategic plans.
Often called a ‘people person’, Nick enjoys working with a wide variety of people in a range of positions, equally comfortable in a corporate setting as he is in a schoolroom or community club. He actively works to inspire, lead and develop people, increasing their capability and assisting them to be the best they can be.
Nick has experience coaching people in all areas of life, and in all levels of management, with a particular enthusiasm for coaching those who are new to leadership, particularly people with the ambition and opportunity to step up into a new role, and those who are looking to take their next step in leadership.
When working in a counselling or mental health coach capacity, Nick is known for his person-centred approach, underpinned by care, empathy, qualifications and lived experience. He openly shares his own experiences with mental health, LGBTQIA+ issues and his wide range of life experiences to help his clients connect with the topics he teaches and discusses.
In his spare time, Nick enjoys travelling, the arts and walking his dog. Nick is also a volunteer Puppy Raiser for Guide Dogs Australia.
Nick, through his role in The Mental Health Coach, is always eager to share the latest evidence-based information and significant perspectives from the lived experiences of people with mental health issues as an experienced keynote speaker.

Suicide is a traumatic, life-altering experience for the people left in its wake. We aim to make the time beyond a little more comfortable with AfterBAGS – support bundles packed with Australian-made products specifically selected to help people process the blame, anger, guilt and sadness that is so common to the experience.
An AfterBAG is an opportunity to offer support and make a difference to someone close to you or even a stranger in a tough spot.
