Supervision

Meet AMAPP's supervisors.

Psychology, social work, psychotherapy, and psychiatry: four clinicians, four disciplines, each working from a distinct professional base. They bring decades of combined clinical experience, including direct work on Australian psychedelic research trials and in ketamine-assisted practice.

A Note on Inclusion

AMAPP acknowledges the supervisors listed here for their contributions to the psychedelic space. They fulfil diverse roles within the community, each with unique missions and areas of focus. Inclusion on the AMAPP website signals mutual respect and shared values; it does not necessarily imply that AMAPP endorses all their actions and beliefs, nor is the endorsement necessarily reciprocated. We believe in recognising and engaging with a wide spectrum of viewpoints, as befits our role as a multidisciplinary organisation. This approach enhances our capacity to support the legal, ethical, accountable, and effective implementation of Psychedelic Assisted Therapies (PAT) in Australia.
