About Me

My name is MD Goba, and I bring over two decades of experience in education, entrepreneurship, academic research, and skills development. In 2013, I pivoted my focus to coaching and behavioural change psychology, driven by both my professional journey and deeply personal experiences. 

My work is grounded in a profound understanding of human behaviour, cognitive psychology, and the intricate dynamics of relationships.

My Services
My coaching philosophy integrates psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral approaches, enriched by insights from neuroscience and behavioral studies. I specialize in psychodynamics, dark psychology, and cognitive behavior, focusing on how subconscious processes influence personal and relational challenges.

Understanding the Dynamics of Toxic Relationships

Our Approach: The Inner-Light Perspective

Inner-Light Perspective

At the heart of relational discord lies a lack of self-awareness. When challenges arise, individuals often resort to projection—assigning personal fears, insecurities, and shortcomings to their partners. This defense mechanism obscures the root causes of conflict.

My approach emphasizes radical self-awareness, guiding clients to explore their inner beliefs, values, attitudes, and emotional patterns. By uncovering the wounds and triggers that shape relational behaviours, clients can achieve profound self-understanding and clarity.

Psychodynamic Perspective

Rooted in Freudian and Neo-Freudian theories, the psychodynamic perspective delves into the subconscious processes shaped by early childhood experiences. These foundational years influence adult personality traits, attachment styles, and relational dynamics. By examining these formative influences, clients gain insights into the subconscious drivers of their behaviours, fostering healthier relationships.

Dark Triad Perspective

The Dark Triad—a cluster of three personality disorders: Narcissism, Machiavellianism, and Psychopathy—represents significant challenges in intimate and professional relationships. These disorders are often concealed beneath charismatic exteriors, leading to manipulation, deceit, and emotional harm. My work includes identifying traits associated with the Dark Triad, educating clients on their impact, and equipping them with strategies to navigate such relationships effectively.
