Issues Treated
I work with a wide range of issues, from common mental health problems such as stress, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, bereavement, to more complex issues such as relational trauma, PTSD and personality disorders.
However, psychological therapy is not exclusively for people meeting criteria for mental health disorders. Individuals often come to see me because they struggle with various aspects of their lives, in particular their relationships. For example, when they begin to realise that there is a reoccurring difficulty maintaining close relationships or getting stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns.
Psychedelic Integration Sessions
I also work with people who have had challenging experiences using psychedelic substances such as MDMA, LSD, psilocybin and would like to access professional help integrating and processing their experiences. This might involve both positive and negative experiences that could be related to previous traumatic events in your life.
Please note, that I do not offer psychedelic psychotherapy and I do not encourage drug use. Psychedelic substances can have a profound impact on human’s mind including both positive and negative impact and have to be treated with respect.
Listen to my conference talk on MDMA:
Can MDMA Facilitate Treatment Of Borderline Personality Disorder?
Filmed at Breaking Convention 2017 - 4th International Conference on Psychedelic Consciousness University of Greenwich London, June 30th-July 2nd 2017
In this talk I argue that MDMA has a potential to become an essential tool for treatment of people with complex personality structures such as borderline personality disorder (BPD). MDMA should be seen as a gateway which allows the patient to connect with their vulnerabilities in order to embark on a psychotherapy journey to recovery. I provide a theoretical basis for the mechanisms underlying borderline personality disorder and how MDMA can be used with current treatment models for example mentalization-based treatment (MBT). I will also propose how the use of MDMA in the National Health Service (NHS) can transform the way we think and treat our patients, giving a chance for both clinicians and our patients to benefit from MDMA-assisted psychotherapy.
