Clinical Psychologist & Existential Therapist, Psychedelic Trials Therapist, Psychedelic Integration Specialist

I work with adults in individual, group and relationships therapy.
I offer online therapy and community-based online psychedelic/expanded-states integration groups
Sessions are offered weekly, fortnightly or monthly
The first step would be to book an Initial consultations with me online. During this telephone/video call we can discuss:
- What is bringing you to seek support at this time and what you hope to gain from therapy
- An introduction to the way I work and what you can expect from engaging in therapy with me
- Any questions or concerns you may have about engaging in therapy
- I will also assess whether or not I can offer the right service for you, and we can get a sense of whether or not there is a good "fit" in working together. If we decide together that your needs would be better served elsewhere, I will do what I can to recommend a more suitable service or therapist to meet your needs, and I may be able to provide an onward referral if necessary.
Please see my booking page to book your consultation. https://www.truenorth-psychology.com/booking-calendar
