The experience is only the beginning.
Integration is where it becomes your life.
Before. During. After. Each stage of this work carries equal weight — and I'm with you across all of it. Clinical training, genuine presence, and a deep understanding of what it takes to hold this process with care.
My role is one of therapeutic guidance and clinical presence — a companion through each stage of the process. If you have questions about what this work involves, reach out.
Clinically supported.
Carefully held.
Built around you.
Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (PAT) is an evidence-informed therapeutic approach that works with altered states of consciousness to support deeper psychological work. Since July 2023, certain psychedelics have been legally available in Australia for prescription by authorised psychiatrists — for PTSD and treatment-resistant depression. Many people are also navigating plant medicine experiences in retreat, ceremonial, or other contexts, and seeking professional support from someone who understands both the depth and the clinical complexity of this process.
I hold a Certificate in Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy alongside my degree in Psychological Science and Counselling. What I bring to this space is the combination of formal clinical training and genuine respect for what these experiences can open — so that every stage of the process is held with both precision and care.
My role is to provide supportive therapeutic services throughout this process — including psychoeducation, harm reduction strategies, preparation and integration support. My goal is to equip you with the tools needed to navigate your experience safely and thoughtfully. Whether you are undergoing treatment prescribed by a healthcare provider or seeking therapeutic support for your journey with psychedelics under appropriate guidance, I am here to help you maximise your preparation, gain meaningful insights, and foster the personal growth that the process can make available — when it is held with the right care.
Psychedelic-assisted approaches are not for everyone —
but for some, they open what nothing else has.
Research in this space is expanding rapidly. The following reflects areas where people have found meaningful support — offered as an honest picture, not a list of guarantees. If you're wondering whether this is relevant to what you're carrying, that's worth a conversation.
- Post-traumatic stress (PTSD)Trauma responses still shaping present experience — including complex and developmental trauma
- DepressionParticularly where conventional approaches have not been sufficient to reach the root
- Anxiety and existential distressIncluding life-stage transitions, identity shifts, and end-of-life anxiety
- Grief and profound lossOf people, relationships, versions of self, and expected futures
- Addiction and dependencyAlcohol, substances, and the psychological patterns underneath them
- ADHDAttention, focus, executive function, and the exhaustion of a nervous system working against itself
- OCDObsessive thinking patterns and the cycles that persist despite understanding them
- Burnout and chronic depletionWhen the capacity to keep going has genuinely run dry
Preparation. Experience. Integration.
All three, held with the same care.
Each stage of this process matters. Most people receive support for the experience itself — but lasting change depends on what happens before it and after it. I work with you across the full arc.
Preparation
Preparation is where the container is built. Before any plant medicine work, I work with you to clarify intention, process the underlying material that may arise, and ensure you arrive at the experience with the right psychological foundation. What you bring into the experience shapes what comes through it.
- Psychoeducation about the process and what to expect
- Setting clear intention for the experience
- Processing unresolved material that may amplify under the medicine
- Building the safety and trust that allows for depth
The Experience
I provide therapeutic presence and guidance throughout the guided session — which typically runs five to eight hours. My role is not to direct the experience but to hold the space for it: offering grounding, gentle guidance when needed, and the clinical steadiness that allows you to go as deep as you need to.
- Individual guided session (1:1)
- Small group session
- Large group session
Integration
This is the stage that determines whether the experience becomes lasting change. Many people have profound medicine experiences — and return to exactly the same life. Not because the experience wasn't real. Because integration is a different kind of work, and it requires support.
Integration means taking what arose — the insights, the emotional openings, the patterns you saw clearly — and translating them into the way you actually live. It means grounding expanded awareness into relationships, decisions, daily life. It is precise, patient work. And it is where my clinical training matters most.

A structured approach to microdosing —
for those ready to do it with intention.
Microdosing has become increasingly recognised as a practice for clarity, creativity, emotional resilience, and nervous system support. But without structure and guidance, the results are inconsistent — and the insights that arise often go unintegrated.
This online programme provides a supported, intentional approach. Over eight weeks, you'll work with me one-on-one to develop a protocol that suits your nervous system, your life, and your goals — and to integrate the shifts as they emerge.
Enquire about the programmeProgramme includes:
- Weekly 50-minute online sessions
- Personalised guidance on protocol and timing
- Weekly meditation and mindfulness practices
- Microdosing Guide + Self-Actualisation Workbook — developed by me, including structured journaling prompts for channelling and integrating shifts in energy, clarity, and awareness
This programme is therapeutic mentorship and education — no substance is sourced or supplied.
Hormonal transitions
and what lives
within them.
The emotional and psychological layer of hormonal change rarely gets the attention it deserves. Microdosing is increasingly being explored as a support for women navigating these transitions — with clinical guidance and integration alongside it.
Many women describe meaningful shifts in mood, anxiety, mental clarity, and emotional steadiness during periods of hormonal change. The Microdosing Mentorship Programme offers a structured way to explore and integrate these shifts — with weekly support and personalised guidance throughout.
This may be particularly relevant for women navigating:
- Perimenopause and menopauseMood shifts, cognitive changes, disrupted sleep, and the identity transitions that accompany this stage
- Premenstrual symptoms — PMS and PMDDCycle-related mood disturbance, emotional intensity, and recurring patterns linked to the hormonal cycle
- Postpartum transitionsThe emotional and identity shifts that follow birth — often significant and undersupported
- Hormonal changes across life stagesThe psychological impact of fertility shifts, contraception changes, and broader hormonal transitions on emotional wellbeing
Formally trained.
Genuinely present.
Throughout every stage of this work.
What I bring to this work is deliberate: formal training in psychological science and counselling, a specific certificate in psychedelic assisted psychotherapy, and years of clinical experience holding complex psychological material. The depth of this work asks for that foundation — not as a credential to display, but as something that becomes quietly present whenever difficult material arises.
My training includes:
- Certificate in Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy — formal clinical training specific to this modality
- Bachelor of Psychological Science and Counselling — university training in how the mind works, how patterns form, and how trauma lives in the body
- Trauma Informed Breathwork certification
- Certified Positive Psychology Practitioner
- PACFA affiliated · MMA member — professional ethics and accountability
- Professional clinical experience working with adults navigating complex psychological material
Whatever comes up — the difficult material, the resistance, the unexpected openings — I have the clinical framework to hold it alongside you.
If you're wondering whether this is right for you —
these are good questions to start with.
-
Yes. Since July 2023, psychedelic-assisted therapy has been legal in Australia under the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) framework. Authorised psychiatrists can legally prescribe MDMA and psilocybin for eligible patients — primarily for PTSD and treatment-resistant depression.
My role sits within this framework as a trained therapeutic guide and support practitioner. I hold a formal Certificate in Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy, and I work with both people navigating a prescribed treatment pathway and those who have engaged with plant medicine through other appropriate contexts and are seeking clinical support for preparation and integration.
-
A fair question, and an important one.
What I do: I provide structured therapeutic support across the full arc of this process — preparation before the experience, support during it for those who want a clinically trained practitioner present, and integration work afterward. This includes psychoeducation, harm reduction, intention-setting, and the careful, sustained work of translating what arose into lasting change.
What I don't do: I am not a prescriber. I do not source, supply, or administer any substance. The medicine is always the client's own responsibility.
The distinction matters. My training is clinical — it means I can hold the psychological complexity that arises, not just the ceremony.
-
It's never too late — and in many ways, this is exactly where integration work begins.
Many people come to me after an experience they are still making sense of — sometimes months or even years later. The insights may still be present but unanchored. Patterns may have shifted slightly but not held. Something may have opened that hasn't fully landed.
Integration doesn't require a recent experience. It requires the right support.
-
Ceremonies and retreats offer something real — community, held space, and often deeply meaningful experiences. That value is genuine.
What clinical training adds is a different layer: the capacity to support what arises psychologically, not just experientially. This includes understanding how trauma activates under altered states, how to work with difficult material when it surfaces, how to prepare someone thoroughly so the experience can land somewhere stable — and how to build a structure for integration that turns what arose into something that holds in daily life.
These two things — ceremonial depth and clinical grounding — are not in conflict. They serve different needs. My work addresses the clinical side.
-
Many people do. And for some experiences, that's enough.
But integration is the stage where most of the potential of this work either gets realised or gets lost. People can have genuinely profound experiences — and return, over weeks and months, to exactly the same patterns. Not because the experience wasn't real. Because integration is a different kind of work, and it requires a particular kind of support.
What changes in integration is not the experience itself — it's what becomes possible when you have someone to work with as the insights meet your actual life: your relationships, your nervous system, your daily choices. That's where lasting change happens.
Integration is not optional in my approach. It's where I put most of my clinical attention.
-
It depends on where you're starting from, what you're working with, and what the experience opens up.
As a general guide: preparation typically involves two to four sessions before any experience. Integration is ongoing — some people work with me for a few months, others for longer. The process tends to unfold at its own pace, and I work with you to understand what depth and duration makes sense for where you are.
The discovery call is a good place to start that conversation.
-
Currently, no. Psychotherapy sessions and PAT support are not covered under Medicare or standard private health insurance in Australia, as this area of practice is still developing within the regulatory framework.
All sessions are self-funded. Investment varies by service type — contact me to discuss what the work involves and what that looks like in practice.
This work asks for clarity, intention,
and the right support around you.
If you're considering plant medicine work — or already in the process — get in touch. There is no pressure to commit. Just a conversation about where you are and whether this is the right fit.
