psychedelic integration therapy

“When will you begin that long journey into yourself?”

Rumi

Psychedelic integration is the therapeutic process of preparing for, navigating, and making meaning of psychedelic experiences. It supports people to approach these experiences with intention — and to integrate what they encounter into their everyday lives. Available one on one, in person in Thornbury, Melbourne.

what is psychedelic integration?

Psychedelic integration encompasses the whole journey — before, during, and after.

When someone chooses to work with psychedelics intentionally, the experience itself is only one part of the process. Preparation, set and setting, intention, and what happens in the weeks and months that follow — this is where the real work lives.

Without integration, even the most profound experience can fade, become confusing, or feel impossible to translate into ordinary life. Psychedelics often deliver wisdom and healing in metaphoric, symbolic, or deeply felt ways that need careful unpacking. Integration is how you make sense of what you encountered — and how you actually live it.

who is this work for?

I work with people from all walks of life.

Some are carrying immense trauma — PTSD, CPTSD, years of trying everything and still feeling stuck. Some have had spontaneous or recreational experiences that opened something unexpected and don't know what to do with it. Some are simply on the path of personal development — wanting to deepen their relationship with themselves, move past blockages, or connect with a higher sense of who they are.

What they share is a readiness to go somewhere real.

What does preparation involve?

Preparation is about getting clear.

Why are you doing this? What do you want from this experience? What's the pain point — what needs to shift, what do you want to feel differently about, how do you want your life to be different on the other side?

From that exploration we land on a clear, succinct intention for the journey. That intention becomes the thread you carry in — and the thread that guides the integration work that follows.

Set and setting matter enormously. Who you are when you walk in, the safety of the space, the quality of support around you — these shape everything that happens.

What does integration actually look like?

Integration is the slow, sometimes unglamorous work of letting what you were shown actually change how you live.

It might mean working with images, symbols, or felt sensations from the experience. It might mean sitting with something that doesn't yet have words. It might mean making changes — to relationships, to patterns, to the way you inhabit your own life.

I bring Gestalt psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing, and seven years of sitting with people through these thresholds to every integration session. This is nuanced, careful, deeply personalised work.

The experience opens a door. Integration is everything that happens after you walk through it.
