Hi, I’m Mark — a psychology graduate and MSc Mental Health Psychology student with a passion for helping people rebuild their lives after leaving high-control groups, especially former Jehovah’s Witnesses.

After leaving the religion myself, I became deeply interested in the psychology of identity, belief, trauma, self-esteem, and recovery. Through my content, guides, courses, and videos, I aim to help people understand what they’ve been through and move towards a happier, more authentic life.

My work combines psychological research with real-world experience. I draw on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), narrative psychology, behavioural activation, and critical thinking — but I explain things in a clear, relatable, down-to-earth way.

On this page you’ll find recovery resources, practical exercises, downloadable guides, and content designed to help people:

• rebuild confidence and identity

• process fear, guilt, and shame

• understand manipulation and indoctrination

• develop emotional resilience

• create a meaningful life beyond the organisation

I believe recovery is not just about “leaving” something behind — it’s about building something new.

Thanks for being here.
