Michael Ledden

Michael Ledden is a clinical psychotherapist and psychedelic integration specialist based in Dublin who provides integrative psychotherapy and support for individuals engaging with or processing psychedelic experiences. Michael Ledden’s approach blends humanistic, integrative, transpersonal and cognitive‑behavioural methods to help clients explore personal meaning, resolve difficult or unresolved psychedelic experiences, prepare for future experiences and deepen psychological insight. His work also includes harm‑reduction education and supervision for practitioners supporting psychedelic work.

Service

Michael Ledden offers Psychedelic Integration Therapy to help clients prepare for and integrate psychedelic experiences, addressing emotional, psychological and existential impacts of those experiences. He also provides Shamanic Counselling for Psychedelic Integration and a Shamanic Energy Therapy Technique as adjunct therapeutic options for deeper processing. Additionally, Michael Ledden offers Psychedelic Assisted Therapy Supervision to support other practitioners holding space for psychedelic clients. Therapy and integration sessions are provided online or in person.

Safety

Michael Ledden is a fully accredited Integrative Psychotherapist with professional memberships (IACP, IAHIP, ICP) and advanced qualifications in counselling and psychotherapy, integrating trauma‑aware, evidence‑informed practices with harm‑reduction guidance for those engaging with psychedelic experiences. His services emphasise creating a safe therapeutic environment for emotional processing, readiness assessment before engagement in integration work, and psychological support tailored to each client’s context. Psychedelic Integration Ireland does not provide or encourage the use of illegal substances; support is focused on harm reduction, safety information and preparation/integration work.

Care pathway

Clients begin by contacting Michael Ledden to discuss their background, goals and what they hope to explore in therapy or integration work. After an initial consultation to clarify suitability and needs, regular integration or psychotherapy sessions are scheduled. For those exploring psychedelic preparation or integration, a plan is created that may include preparatory therapy sessions, targeted integration work after experiences and optional adjunct modalities such as shamanic counselling or shamanic energy sessions. Supervision engagements with other practitioners also begin with an exploratory conversation about goals and support needs.
