Hypnotist and Change Catalyst
From the Heart of Darkness to Radical Awareness
I didn’t learn about the mind from a textbook. I learned it in the trenches of the human condition.
For years, I was a captive of my own psyche—struggling with depression, depersonalization, derealization, and the suffocating weight of anxiety. I have stood at the edge of suicidal ideation and navigated the complex distortions of narcissism. My journey led me into a "heart of darkness" so profound that fragments of that shadow still exist across the digital landscape—partial evidence of a man I no longer am, but a path I had to walk.
I have been the victim of cruelty, defamation, and violation. But more importantly, I have had the courage to face the mirror and realize: I was also the problem.

Finding Out You're the Problem
The Catalyst for Radical Accountability
True change doesn’t come from external punishment; it comes from an internal reckoning. Whether you are navigating the heavy fog of mental health struggles or the complex patterns of criminality and psychopathy, the breakthrough begins when you stop looking for someone to blame and start looking at the common denominator.
That is where I come in.
As a Hypnotist and Change Catalyst, I help you meet your darkest traits with compassion rather than judgment. We don't ignore the impulsivity, the manipulation, or the detachment. We ask: What need is this trying to meet?
My Mission: Subconscious Rewiring for Social Impact I am living proof that no matter what has been done to you—or what you have done—you can heal. My gift is the ability to take the energy of trauma, shame, and conflict and transfigure it into a power for good.
-
Internal Understanding: We move past "moral failings" into the mechanics of the subconscious.
-
The Ripple Effect: When you take responsibility for your own "shadow," you stop the cycle of harm. You reduce the burden on your community and create space for genuine connection.
-
Progress Over Perfection: My work isn’t about being "fixed"; it’s about becoming a conscious creator of your own life.
Your Transformation Starts Here
If you find yourself mirrored in the pain or frustration of those around you, the fog is finally starting to lift. That discomfort is the beginning of your evolution.
I am here to help you bridge the gap between who you were and the greatest possible version of who you can become. Let’s disrupt the cycle. Let’s catalyse the change.
Let It Go Now
What I Can Actively Help With
Procrastination
Procrastination was the bane of my life for many, many years. Even after reading much about it, from the neuroscience to the habits one should keep, I failed to change my ways. I can now share what alluded me all this time.
Panic Attacks
Panic attacks can feel so awful that they can often be mistaken for the start of a heart attack. I know all too well the sheer fear that can appear seemingly out of the blue. Thankfully I have not had one for over four years now.
Narcissism
Narcissism is quite elusive in both its manifestations and diagnosis. It is a trait that many do wish to recognise in themselves because of the weight of the negative connotations that come along with such a label. However, it can be very liberating when these traits are identified as they can be dissolved.
Anxiety
There are several types of anxiety disorders and a spectrum of how debilitating they can be. The triggering of this feeling is likely to depend on the environment and the situation a person is in or when they think about a specific topic, event or memory. I use techniques that eliminate these associations and therefore remove the anxiety.
Depersonilsation and Derealisation
Depersonalisation and derealisation are separate forms of disassociation, usually related to anxiety or a similar disorder. I have experience with both of them and getting over this, in particular, has been one of the topics of great interest to me.
Depression
Suffering from depression is worse than feeling sad or melancholic. I can testify that there is a heavy numbness that encases the body. For me, it also manifests as fatigue and lethargy. All I would want to do usually was sleep until it was over. Pervading thoughts of worthlessness would invade my mind in the most intense waves, even reaching the levels of suicidal ideation. Thankfully, I am in the position to have a psychological toolkit to prevent getting into these states.
Shame cast a long shadow over my life for countless years. Despite delving into everything I could find on the subject—from psychological insights to well-meaning advice on how to overcome it—I remained stuck in its grip. Fortunately, I now have the tools to overcome such blocks.
