My clients value the trusting therapeutic relationship we build as we explore their emotional pain.
Many people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who hold themselves to very high standards, yet privately feel anxious, burnt out, or self-critical. Deciding to speak to a psychologist can take real courage, especially when you’re used to being the one others rely on.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, and the deeper issues caused by traumatic experiences. I am trained in EMDR, which can help people process and move forward from experiences that continue to feel unresolved or intrusive.

My roles in the public system were in health psychology; particularly chronic pain management and trauma rehabilitation.
My ideal client would prefer therapy outside in nature, instead of in a clinical consulting room! They know that time in nature is a big part of how they self-regulate, but are struggling to incorporate it. They may be burnt out, anxious, depressed, neurodiverse, or simply feeling lost. Their painful thoughts, feelings, past experiences, and patterns of behaviour are interfering with their path. They would like a supportive therapist to walk alongside them as they figure it out; someone to provide some nudges of direction and new skills, but also trust them to use their internal resources and personal values to guide their way.

I work with adults navigating ADHD, twice-exceptional profiles (high capability, inconsistent access), and chronic pain.
If you've spent years trying harder, organising better, and following advice that works for everyone except you — you're probably not the problem. The systems were.
I'm Jacob, founder of T.H.E. Psyborg and a counsellor who has been navigating ADHD since I was a kid. I didn't build this practice from a textbook - I built it from the inside out, because I know what it's like to be capable and inconsistent, to have the insight without the follow-through, to understand exactly what needs doing and still not be able to start.

Some difficulties don't respond to short-course therapy, and it isn't because you didn't try hard enough. I was a GP for ten years before I trained as a psychotherapist, and I work with the problems that don't fit neatly: trauma, symptoms that keep returning with a normal result, depression that has outlasted everything reasonable, relationships that keep taking the same painful shape. I see adults and adolescents, in person in Byron Bay and by video anywhere in Australia.

Chronic Pain Therapists
How does chronic pain therapy work?
Engaging with a psychotherapist to help treat chronic pain does not mean that one’s pain is all in their head. Therapy for chronic-pain patients has been shown to benefit both the mind and the body, targeting physical symptoms and increasing daily functioning. In other words, for many, addressing their emotional health through therapy affects their physical health. A therapist can help a client challenge unhelpful thoughts about pain and develop new ways to respond to it, such as distraction or calming breathing techniques. Studies have found that therapy can be as effective as surgery for certain cases of chronic pain and many doctors recommend trying psychotherapy in advance of considering invasive surgery.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic pain?
Stress, anxiety, depression, catastrophising, ruminating, lack of activity, and social withdrawal all make chronic pain worse. Addressing these issues, research shows, can help people gain control over their pain symptoms. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, biofeedback, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, along with greater pain-management education, have been found to help people reduce fear and disability.
Are there new treatments for chronic pain?
Many cases of chronic pain, particularly those involving back pain, remain medically unexplained. But there is evidence that changes in the brain or nervous system are caused by previous physical ailments such as tissue damage; in such cases, the brain may continue to send out pain signals despite the physical cause having healed. To aid patients under these circumstances, a recently developed treatment known as pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) is designed to help the brain “unlearn” this response. A PRT practitioner helps individuals to reduce the “threat value” of their ongoing pain signals until they can reappraise them as less threatening and fear-inducing. They also help an individual to develop new emotional regulation skills.
How long does therapy for chronic pain take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from chronic pain, especially as there may be a range of physical and psychological causes for any individual’s discomfort, but most patients should expect to see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions. Studies of pain reprocessing therapy found that many individuals’ experience of pain lessened in eight sessions over four weeks.
