Provider type Psychologist

Paul Menze

Paul Menze is a psychedelic coach and psychology‑informed facilitator who offers guided support for individuals planning, navigating and integrating psychedelic experiences. Paul Menze’s work combines over 25 years of experience, a Master’s degree in Psychology and coaching accreditation with breathwork and retreat facilitation to help clients approach psychedelic processes with intentional preparation, emotional clarity and post‑experience integration. The focus is on supporting personal transformation, meaning‑making and integration of insights into daily life within structured, cautious, and client‑centred processes.

Service

Paul Menze provides psychedelic coaching that includes preparation sessions to clarify intentions and mindset before a psychedelic experience and tailored integration sessions afterward to translate insights into lasting personal change. He also organises private and small‑group psychedelic retreats in legally appropriate settings in the Netherlands, incorporating deep inner work with professional coaching before, during and after the retreat. In addition, Paul Menze offers a professional training programme for psychologists, therapists and coaches who wish to learn how to facilitate preparation and integration work for others.

Safety

Paul Menze holds a Master’s degree in Psychology and accreditation as a Master Coach, and brings academic research experience on the safety of psilocybin and ceremonial contexts to his work. Coaching and retreat facilitation are designed to be delivered in safe, intentional and legally appropriate settings, with structured preparation and integration to support emotional readiness and grounded application of insights. No clinical prescribing or medical procedures are offered; the emphasis is on psychological safety, harm‑reduction guidance and supportive coaching within the scope of his training.

Care pathway

Clients begin by booking a free discovery meeting to discuss intentions, background and suitability for the coaching or retreat process. For eight‑week coaching programmes, preparation sessions are conducted first to explore values, mindset and expectations; after a psychedelic experience or retreat, clients receive integration sessions to help embed insights into daily life. Paul Menze also works continuously with clients throughout private retreats — including preparation, the retreat itself and follow‑up integration — in both individual and small‑group formats.
