True North Psychology
London ENG
Our clinic begins by carefully matching clients with the most suitable specialist from our team based on their specific needs, preferences, and goals.
We offer a free discovery call to ensure a good therapeutic fit before beginning sessions.
For clients preparing for psychedelic experiences, we provide structured psychological preparation (addressing needs of the set and setting), including intention-setting, education about altered states, risk assessment, and development of personalised safety plans. Our practitioners help clients establish robust support systems and address potential contraindications.
Integration services person-centred process where clients can process and make meaning from their experiences, translate insights into practical life changes, and navigate challenging emotions or perspective shifts that may have emerged. We use various therapeutic techniques to help clients work through difficult material while fostering healing and growth.
Throughout all our services, we maintain a non-judgmental, supportive environment that honours the profound nature of these experiences while grounding insights in practical reality.
True North Psychology is a specialist group practice founded by Dr. Sara Tookey that offers evidence-based, harm-reduction focused support for individuals engaging with non-ordinary states of consciousness. Our team of highly-qualified clinical psychologists and psychotherapists provides comprehensive services including preparation, integration, and psychedelic-informed therapy.
Based in London but globally accessible through secure online platforms, our practice brings together practitioners with extensive training in psychedelic research and integration. Our clinicians have experience with King's College London's Psychoactive Research Team and other leading institutions, ensuring that clients receive the highest standard of ethical, professional care.
We recognise that psychedelic experiences, whether occurring in clinical trials, therapeutic settings, or naturalistic contexts, can be profoundly meaningful and sometimes challenging. Our integrative approach bridges evidence-based Western therapeutic modalities with traditional healing wisdom, creating a framework that honours the complex, multifaceted nature of these experiences.
True North Psychology is committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can prepare for and integrate their experiences with expanded states of consciousness, transforming insights into lasting positive changes in their lives.
