Therapies offered:
PSYCHEDELIC INTEGRATION THERAPY

In addition to my other psychotherapeutic modalities, I'm certified, (By Fluency & PESI) in

Psychedelic Integration Therapy.

This means I have the knowledge and understanding, to assist people in processing psychedelic experiences; (whether that be a clinical setting, abroad on a retreat), with in-depth insight and understanding...

I can also support you by talking about risks and harm reduction, if you’re considering going on a psychedelic retreat or trial; and offer alternatives to psychedelics, (such as hypnotherapy and various trauma informed modalities like IFS), from an educated perspective.

 

*Please note: This does not mean I can clinically prescribe psychedelic substances; (which are still illegal in the UK.) Please also note, there are also risk factors involved in taking these compounds for certain groups of people.

HOW I CAN HELP

In supporting you with integrating your psychedelic journey, I draw deeply not just on my own psychedelic integration certification, but also my substantial, trauma informed psychotherapeutic training, (including modalities like IFS parts therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Expressive arts therapy, Jungian shadow work, and Clinical Hypnotherapy). I also draw on my training with two shamanic schools; ‘The Scandinavian Center For Shamanic Studies’, ’Three Raven’s School of Therapeutic Shamanism’, and mentorship from Shaman Nicholas Spicer. Shamanic perspectives offer a different lens through which to view healing, integration of our experiences, and ‘wholeness’ (spiritual, psychological and physical).

 

The benefit and power of psychedelics is found not only in the trip or journey itself, but in how we integrate these profound insights and personal experiences going forwards.

 

Clinical hypnotherapy offers an effective, profound and drug-free way to continue the empowering or healing journey forwards, and consolidate your healing insights.  

I work with you closely and collaboratively, to help you not only make sense of psychedelic experiences, but also (importantly) to integrate them fully into daily life.

 

My aim, and the aim of integration, is to help you draw wisdom, insight, understanding, healing, and insight from these experiences. I can help you find safe, legal, enlivening and grounding and therapeutic practices and methods to support you going forwards which you can practice yourself at home, or with me in my therapy practice. The most important element of these experiences is that they give YOU insight, power and agency.

HISTORY OF PSYCHEDELICS

Psychedelics and plant medicine enjoy a long and varied history, that stretches back globally for thousands of years. 

 

We know that psychedelics were used in Ancient Greece, as part of the Eleusinian Mysteries, a sacred annual ritual of enlightenment practice; and by some of the world’s greatest minds, including Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Psychoactive substances have a rich and fascinating history of sacred ceremonial and healing use. They were often used in a ceremonial spiritual and sacred context in dedicated setting, as well as healing agents with medicinal purposes. Ancient civilisations and cultures did not use the substances carelessly as party drugs, or recreationally, but to gain insight, wisdom, spiritual connection, and healing.
