#5: Michael Ledden -Psycare Ireland, Psychedelic harm reduction and Integration Psychotherapy, Anxiety and CBT

Michael is a fully accredited psychotherapist (IACP, IAHIP, ICP) with qualifications in Integrative Counseling and Psychotherapy (B.A., MPhil., MSc., Clinical Diploma). His approach integrates CBT, Mindfulness, Shamanism, and Humanistic, Psychodynamic, Existential, and Transpersonal Psychology. Michael oversees most of our client screening and preparation calls to ensure the mutual suitability of our retreats. He also facilitates private and group retreats and leads many of our integration sessions post-retreat. After extensive personal therapy, Michael developed a deep interest in plant medicines, transpersonal psychology, and shamanic healing. These profoundly improved his life, but he recognized the importance of the right mindset, preparation, and support for psychedelic experiences. Motivated by his volunteering with PsyCare UK, Michael founded PsyCare Ireland: Welfare and Harm Reduction CLG, an award-winning non-profit that supports individuals facing mental health or substance-induced challenges at Irish festivals. This initiative emphasizes psychedelic care and peer-to-peer support. In addition, Michael offers private preparation and integration sessions through Psychedelic Integration Ireland. He provides integrative, person-centered, shamanic, and transpersonal therapy and runs Anxiety Ireland. Soon, Michael will begin training as a psychotherapy supervisor, further expanding his professional scope.
