My ideal client is ready for change. They’re insightful, proactive, and seeking clarity around patterns that no longer serve them—whether it’s anxiety, overthinking, or relationship challenges. They want practical strategies, not just talk, and are motivated to understand themselves more deeply. They’re not here to be rescued—they’re here to grow, to realign with their values, and to create a more grounded, authentic life.

Grief, life transitions, or chronic disorganisation can feel heavy and isolating. You might be mourning a death, facing sudden loss, pet loss, separation, illness, ageing, or anticipatory and complicated grief. Perhaps you're stuck in clutter, hoarding, or overwhelmed by chaos at home. Emotions like guilt, anger, numbness, longing, shame, or confusion can be exhausting. Though no one can carry this for you, you don’t have to carry it without someone beside you as you seek relief, understanding, direction, and space for what matters. At Changes in Between, you can honour your loss, rebuild your life, and find your place.

If you are not who you want to be, you can break down who you became by accident, and rebuild yourself as who you want to be on purpose. Living with ADHD can feel like you’re playing a different version of life. What works for others doesn’t always work for you, even when you're giving it your all. It’s not about trying harder; it’s about working differently, with support that understands how you tick. I founded T.H.E. Psyborg to give my ADHD and neurodivergent gamers a space to Thrive, Heal, and Evolve - safely and intentionally. (P.S. You don’t need to be a gamer to feel at home here, just someone looking for support that fits.)

I strongly believe that every person has a purpose and set of skills/strengths they bring into this world; however, that sometimes inconvenient/negative circumstances or unhealthy relationships can derail this potential by planting a seed of self-doubt into our minds. Regardless of where it applies to an individual's life (e.g. marriage, career, etc.), it would be my privilege to help clients along the way to achieving their life goals/vision by helping them identify and deal with any stumbling blocks in their way. Life loves to throw curveballs (it wouldn't be interesting if it didn't), but I'd love to prepare my clients for them!
