Research & Publications

Academic Contributions

As a PhD researcher in the field of Psychedelic Assisted Therapy, my work contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting psychedelic medicines as therapeutic tools. My research focuses on the therapeutic frameworks, methodologies, and outcomes of psychedelic-assisted interventions, with particular emphasis on:

  • Power-Threat-Meaning Framework applications in psychedelic therapy
  • Somatic approaches to PAT
  • Social work perspectives on psychedelic healing

My master's dissertation researched the therapeutic mechanisms through which ayahuasca is understood to heal, and my doctoral dissertation developed a somatic relational framework for psychedelic assisted therapy.

Altered Mates is a podcast where two mates, each fascinated by altered states, meet to discuss the psychedelic experience and its implications for society, culture, health, science, and philosophy.
