For over two decades Nihal Kucukozdemir, a holistic and integrative psychologist, guides individuals and couples through the intricate tapestries of their lives, assisting them  towards their wholeness.

Nihal's journey began with a deep-seated belief in the interconnectedness of mind, body, and soul. This philosophy forms the cornerstone of her practice, where she recognises that true well-being blossoms from tending to all aspects of our being.

Nihal is highly trained in a number of therapeutic modalities; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps untangle the knots of distorted thinking, while Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) empowers individuals to embrace their experiences and move forward with purpose. 

Clinical Hypnosis delves into the subconscious, unearthing hidden strengths and resources, whilst EMDR can gently guides clients through the maze of trauma, depression, anxiety and grief, leading them towards release and a path of healing.

NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and Emotional Release Techniques address deeply ingrained patterns, emotions and limiting beliefs, while Systemic Family Constellation Therapy sheds light on the complex dynamics that shape our relationships. 

For those seeking to nourish their well-being from the inside out, Nihal draws upon the wisdom of Nutritional Psychology, that complements the relationship between diet, digestive health and its impact upon their emotional and mental health.

Nihal draws her clinical expertise from a number of diverse fields; she initially commenced her professional career working within Correctional Services supporting the rehabilitation of high risk offenders with their complex needs.

Then went on to work within the  Forensic Drug and Alcohol (Youth and Adult) Services, focusing on assisting individuals with drug and alcohol addictions, trauma and abuse .  

Nihal has also worked extensively in Palliative Care, providing support for families and loved ones during their times of grief and loss.  

She then went on to commence her own Private Practice becoming highly experienced in the provision of services to Workcover and TAC, where she also refined her skills and expertise in the provision of medico-legal assessments and reports. During this time she has worked closely with legal professionals pursuing historical abuse cases as well providing psychological counselling and therapy for those clients who have endured historical abuse and trauma.

Nihal was the first Turkish Speaking Psychologist to operate in Queensland and also provides therapy in Turkish for those individuals with English speaking difficulties.

In addition, Nihal is highly experienced in working with Anxiety Disorders (Including OCD and GAD), Depression, Post-Natal Depression and Trauma and Inter-generational Trauma.

She is regarded as a warm and compassionate psychologist and is passionate about pursuing ongoing professional development and learning to further assist her clients.
