Feeling stuck? You’re used to being the one others turn to: calm, capable, in control. But lately, you feel exhausted, emotionally flat, or disconnected from who you are. You may have tried talk therapy, time off, or pushing through, but something still doesn’t feel right. You’re carrying more than most people realise: burnout, trauma, or a deep sense of stuckness. You want relief, clarity, and to feel more like yourself again: present, connected, and at peace. You’re not looking for a quick fix, but a more sustainable, embodied way forward.

You promised you would not watch online porn or live sex cams again. You feel guilt and shame because you want to stop but cant. You visited a sex worker recently and now you are worried you might have put the health of your family at risk. You plan to spend a short time on dating apps and find yourself spending hours on them, unable to put them down, feeling desperate and hopeless. You have an instant attraction when you meet a particular type of person, believing they are the one. You might be in recovery for alcohol / drug addiction, but your compulsive sexual acting out behaviours have increased and you feel guilt and shame.

Are anxiety, depression, emotional distress, or relationship struggles holding you back? These issues often stem from complex trauma, shaping unhelpful patterns of self-doubt, people-pleasing, and emptiness that lower self-esteem and leave your needs unmet. Together, we’ll uncover these patterns, address the roots of your struggles, and heal your inner wounds to reclaim self-worth. I specialize in schema therapy, EMDR, psychodynamic and trauma-informed approaches, tailoring plans to your unique needs. If unresolved trauma or past therapies haven’t worked, let’s take the first step toward healing and growth together.

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.)
