Integration support for expanded and non-ordinary states of consciousness

I offer a supportive and confidential space for people to explore their feelings, thoughts, and insights following a psychedelic experience.

What is Psychedelic Integration Therapy?

Psychedelic integration therapy is an approach designed to help you process and integrate your psychedelic experiences. It can help you make sense of your experiences and gain deeper self-understanding. This approach can also help you integrate the insights you gained during the experience into your everyday life, leading to improved relationships, greater creativity, and a more fulfilling sense of purpose.

I work with people from a range of backgrounds, including those who are new to exploring psychedelics and others with past experience. I often work with clients interested in exploring plant medicines alongside therapeutic work. I frequently support those who have had challenging experiences or journeys that surfaced difficult issues in new ways.

Please note: I do not offer dosing sessions or provide access to substances.

Hypnotherapy for Psychedelic Integration

As a qualified hypnotherapist and psychotherapeutic counsellor, I bring a unique approach to psychedelic integration therapy. I believe that the mind is incredibly powerful and that we can tap into its full potential through practices such as hypnosis, guided visualisation, dreamwork, and hypnotherapy. In my sessions, I use these techniques to help my clients explore themes that may have come up during the psychedelic experience, connect with their inner wisdom, and gain a deeper understanding of themselves.

Psychedelics can be incredibly powerful tools for personal growth, healing, and spiritual exploration. They can also provide intense and challenging experiences.

Integration therapy can help you work through any challenging emotions or experiences that may have arisen during your psychedelic journey, leading to increased self-knowledge, self-compassion, and emotional well-being.

Principles of Psychedelic Integration Therapy

In terms of my specific approach to psychedelic integration therapy, here are some general principles that guide my work:

Your journey is unique - and therefore therapy should be tailored to your individual needs.
I believe that it’s important to honour and respect your psychedelic experience - even if it was difficult or challenging. I encourage my clients to explore the insights and emotions that came up during the journey, using them as a starting point for growth and healing.
My goal is to help you find meaning and purpose in your psychedelic experiences - using them as a catalyst for growth and positive change.
The therapeutic relationship is key to the success of the therapy - I strive to create a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable sharing your experiences and emotions.

Whether you’re looking to explore the therapeutic potential of psychedelics or you’re looking to work through challenging emotions or experiences related to a previous psychedelic journey, I am here to offer a supportive and non-judgmental space to help you integrate your experiences and move forward on your journey of personal growth and transformation.

About me

I’m a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor, hypnotherapist, and hypnotherapy supervisor. I am trained in psychedelic-assisted therapy and completed the Foundations of Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy program with Beckley Academy. I have received additional specialist training in psychedelics, including Psychedelics and Psychoanalysis with Fluence, and Integrating Psychedelic Experiences with the Centre of Applied Jungian Studies. I have completed the De-Escalating Psychedelic Crisis Certification with PsyCare UK.

I am currently writing my psychotherapy dissertation on the topic, How can integrative hypno-psychotherapy support clients struggling with self and identity following a non-clinical psychedelic experience?

I offer accepting, open-minded, and culturally sensitive therapy for individuals and couples, focusing on anxiety, relationships and attachment difficulties. My approach is integrative, drawing on a range of methods and frameworks to support exploration and change. I use a person-centred approach, which allows our work to focus on what’s most important to you. I am trained in and practice humanistic counselling, psychodynamic therapy, hypnotherapy, mindfulness approaches, and inner child work.

How We Can Work Together

Studies show that therapy is most effective when clients commit to consistent sessions. When you are ready to begin therapy, sessions will happen weekly at a set time that works for both of us. In some cases, clients opt for twice-weekly sessions, which have been shown to significantly increase positive outcomes.

I most frequently work with clients on a long-term, open-ended basis. Short-term therapy (6 to 20 sessions) may be the right approach if you are looking for support during a period of difficulty or would like to focus on a specific issue. Medium- or long-term therapy (21 to 50+ sessions) is more exploratory and can help you create meaningful change across multiple dimensions of your life. Sessions are held online over Zoom.
