Psychotherapy & Psychedelic integration

I am a psychotherapist, clinical researcher at Maastricht University (NL) and expert in altered states of consciousness.

My expertise encompasses altered states of consciousness, psychedelics, breathwork, hypnotherapy, trauma-informed, attachment-based and cognitive therapies.

My research interests revolve around the optimisation of psychotherapeutic models in the context of psychotherapy assisted with altered states of consciousness.

Psychotherapy

My approach integrates hypnotherapy, attachment-based and cognitive therapy to achieve and work beyond symptom reduction. A journey through the unconscious layers of the self to foster deeper, truer alignment .

About

I am a psychotherapist, clinical trainer and researcher at Maastricht University who has been working at the intersection of psychotherapy and altered states of consciousness for the past 15 years.

I believe in integrating what science teaches us about the functioning of the mind, body and spirit with transformational, embodied and meaning-based tools.

Growth stems from within and speaks with the voice of your unconscious.
