Nick Lines

I came to this work through my own curiosity about consciousness, a meditation practice, and years of volunteering alongside people in difficult moments — doing harm reduction at music events with Dancewize, helping me in need with Mentoring Men, and most recently serving as a support therapist in a psilocybin trial for treatment-resistant depression at ANU in Camberra.

I hold a Diploma of Counselling, a Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (Anam Cara, with Dr Lani Roy), a two-year Mindfulness Meditation Teaching Certificate through Jack Kornfield's and Tara Brach MMTCP program, and certification as a Pranayama Breathwork teacher. Before this, I spent twenty years as a creative director in Sydney, Los Angeles and the Mornington Peninsula.

At The Clearing Practice, I work with adults who want to slow down and see their situation more clearly. My approach is grounded, person-centred and practical — drawing on counselling, breathwork and mindfulness depending on what's actually useful for you.

Sessions are available in person on the Mornington Peninsula and online across Australia.
