Why This Training Exists

Psychedelic use is on the rise in Australia — often outside medical settings, and without adequate support. While many people have positive experiences, a significant number are left feeling fragmented, haunted, or confused.

These clients are increasingly turning up in therapy rooms. Their presentations can be disorienting — resembling psychosis, trauma, or existential crisis — and many therapists find themselves unprepared.

This course shares the clinical framework I’ve developed over 12 years to help clients integrate and recover from these challenging experiences.

Why We Changed the Format

After selling out the 3-day live intensives several times, I realised the format didn’t give enough time for reflection, integration, or case exploration.

This new 8-week model gives you more space to absorb the material, access supervision and community, and apply the work at your own pace — with access for 12 months.
