I am a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and trainer working in psychedelic therapy and research since 2010. My experience spans leading harm reduction teams at festivals (Kosmicare), early LSD brain-imaging research, and an MA investigating psychosynthesis for ayahuasca integration. As Clinical Lead at Wavepaths, I focused on therapist training, product development and clinical roll out.
More recently, I have worked as a Lead Therapist on clinical trials investigating Ibogaine (opioid use disorder), 5-MeO-DMT (treatment-resistant depression and alcohol use disorder), Methylone (PTSD), and Psilocybin (major depressive disorder), alongside facilitating legal psilocybin retreats in the Netherlands.
While integration takes many forms, individuals often seek therapy when an altered-state experience leaves them feeling overwhelmed, ungrounded, or distressed. This typically stems from encountering unexpected thoughts, challenging somatic activation, or difficult material surfacing during or after a session.
My therapeutic approach is transpersonal, somatic, relational, and trauma-informed. I aim to offer a safe, containing space for grounding, nervous system regulation, and relational support. Where appropriate, I assist clients through processes of existential enquiry—helping them to navigate shifts in core beliefs and integrate transpersonal insights into daily life.
