Integrative Counselling & EMDR

Psychedelics are totally weird, magical, joyful, playful, divine, shocking and subverting. They will take us to our depths, whether we want to go or not. This can be overwhelming and, especially if the experience happened in an environment that didn't feel safe with no immediate support, can leave us reeling and destabilised.

I welcome those looking for help integrating psychedelic experience in a focussed way, or as part of an open therapeutic process. I also offer EMDR which can help if you're left with anxiety or other symptoms following a difficult psychedelic journey.

I also provide a preparation space for psychedelic experiences. Being in therapy with someone trained in the field before and after can support you to get the most out of the experience. I am very interested in the question of how we can meaningfully use/apply/integrate the insights and experiences we have on psychedelics towards positive change (if that's our intention), even when the experiences were difficult.

I hold a diploma in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy from The Institute of Psychedelic Therapy which built upon my personal fascination and relationship with psychedelics going back over three decades. I am an experienced integrative counsellor working from my own private room in central Bristol and online.

See my website for more detailed information on me and how I work. Please note that I do not provide any kind of psychedelic assisted therapy in the UK.
