clinical consultation for therapists working with psychedelic experiences
Many therapists are increasingly working with clients who have had psychedelic experiences, yet may feel unsure about how to approach these conversations in a safe, grounded, and clinically thoughtful way. I offer support, space and guidance for therapists to talk through concerns, reflect on client experiences, and explore ways of supporting integration within ongoing therapy. I will help you navigate this unfamiliar territory to help you feel more confident and supported in your work.

what's therapy like?
I take a down-to-earth, kind, and compassionate approach. Therapy moves at your pace and is shaped by what you need. I use methods like CBT, Internal Family Systems, and EMDR to help people work through patterns that hold them back. Sensitive issues are always met with understanding and respect.
about me
I have many years of experience in NHS mental and physical health services as a nurse, therapist and researcher. I currently work as a clinical research therapist in psychedelics at King’s College London and have contributed to research published in The Lancet and The New England Journal of Medicine. I am also a group lead for the Maudsley Psychedelic Integration Society and work as an educator and consultant.
session fees
Session fees are £90 for 50 minutes. Extended 90-minute sessions are available and are often particularly helpful for EMDR.
