Question 2

A psychedelic therapist is a professional who facilitates the therapeutic use of psychedelic substances in a controlled, clinical setting. This role involves guiding individuals through the experiences induced by psychedelics, which are known for their potent effects on consciousness.

Question 3

What is the difference between a psychedelic coach and a psychedelic therapist?

Accepted Answer

The roles of a psychedelic coach and a psychedelic therapist have some overlap, in the context of working with individuals who are exploring or have explored psychedelic experiences. The main key difference is that therapists are regulated health professionals with specific training in mental health, while coaches may not have such regulated qualifications and their training can be more diverse.
Therapists are equipped to address mental health disorders within a clinical framework, whereas coaches focus on personal development, integration, and achieving life goals.

Question 4

What is our vetting process?

Accepted Answer

Our coaches and therapists are carefully vetted and interviewed by ourselves. We are selective with whom we put on the platform to ensure high-quality service for you and keep a safe space for both coaches and coachees.

We are looking for guides who share our values, and our way of approaching integration and who want to support us in our mission of destigmatising psychedelics and reducing harm.

We collaborate exclusively with individuals who possess:
- Formal education and credentials in coaching, therapy, or a related discipline.
- Direct personal experience with the psychedelic substances they aim to assist others in navigating.
- Professional background in facilitating individuals to integrate and process their psychedelic experiences.
