Heal what the medication
couldn't reach
Pharmacist-informed tapering support. Somatic bodywork. Nervous system healing. In Belfast and online worldwide.
The reality many people face
You were told it would
be straightforward
Coming off antidepressants is often presented as simple. Many people find it anything but. The physical symptoms, the emotional unpredictability, the uncertainty about what's withdrawal and what's the original problem returning — these are real, and they are rarely spoken about honestly.
And sometimes the struggle isn't about medication at all. Sometimes the body simply holds more than talking can reach — years of tension, unprocessed experience, a nervous system that never quite settled. Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to navigate it alone.
- Withdrawal symptoms dismissed or misidentified as relapse
- A nervous system that talking therapy alone can't fully reach
- Chronic tension, stored trauma, or a body that doesn't feel safe
- Years of searching for something that actually works
About Paul
A pharmacist who went
deeper than the prescription
I spent over a decade working across mental health services, addiction care, and complex medication management in clinical settings. I know how these medications work — and I know the gaps that exist for people trying to navigate them.
I also bring lived experience. Not as a badge, but because it shapes how I hold this work. Whether someone comes to me for medication tapering support, somatic bodywork, or to explore plant and psychedelic-informed approaches, the foundation is the same: clinical knowledge in service of human healing.
My work is nervous system-led, body-based, and built entirely around you.

What becomes possible
What you move toward
A safer, slower approach to tapering
Pharmacist-informed understanding of what's happening in your body and nervous system — so any reduction happens at a pace that doesn't destabilise you.
Clarity between withdrawal and relapse
One of the most frightening parts of tapering is not knowing what's a withdrawal symptom and what's the original difficulty returning. We track, identify, and distinguish the two together.
Nervous system regulation
Somatic tools that help your body find its own settled state — not through force, but through gentle, accumulated practice that builds real capacity over time.
Release what the body is holding
Somatic bodywork works directly with the nervous system — reaching the stored tension, chronic patterns, and held experience that talking alone often can't access.
Informed, ethical psychedelic support
Professional risk assessment, drug interaction screening, and safety guidance for those considering or preparing for plant medicine or expanded state work.
A felt sense of safety in your body
The long-term goal is not just a different symptom profile. It's feeling genuinely at home in your nervous system — stable, resourced, and capable of meeting life as it is.

Ellen
I have suffered from low mood, PTSD & anxiety most of my life — tried numerous treatments including antidepressants and nothing worked. Paul never left my side. I felt safe the whole time. A week after my session I came up with a new plan for my life. My energy levels are through the roof. I feel more confident, positive, happy, appreciative and content. In 6 hours, Paul's session changed my life in ways I never thought possible. Thank you, Paul, for giving me what no one else could.
Ceremony session
Deborah
You always create such a calming ambience — a beautiful space that makes me feel safe. The sessions make me feel like I've hit a reset button on my nervous system. I loved how each week was so different. Every detail you put into these sessions was beautiful. I notice big changes after this programme and I'm looking forward to the next one.
Breathwork programme
Michelle
I had been on antidepressants for 26 years. Every time I attempted to stop I suffered horrendous withdrawal symptoms. Paul provided a very detailed workbook which I filled in every day — tracking my emotions and helping me become aware of different aspects of my body. Paul very gradually reduced my medication and after 3 months I am absolutely delighted to say I am no longer on them. I've been off them a month now and never felt better. He is understanding, non-judgmental and empathetic in every way. His work is truly transformational.

Common questions
Things you might
want to know
- Not at all. Many people come to me still on medication — unsure whether to taper or simply wanting support with how they feel right now. We start wherever you are. Any decisions about tapering are yours, made at your own pace, in conversation with your prescriber.
- I don't prescribe or replace your medical care. What I offer sits alongside it — pharmacist-informed understanding of how these medications affect your nervous system, combined with somatic and emotional support for the withdrawal process itself. Most people find their doctor has limited time for this. I do.
- Somatic therapy works with the body's nervous system rather than the thinking mind alone. Whether you're navigating medication withdrawal or simply carrying stress and tension you can't seem to shift, the body holds what talking alone can't always reach. Somatic work helps regulate the nervous system, release stored patterns, and build a felt sense of safety — as a standalone service or alongside other work.
- Medication tapering support, coaching, and psychedelic screening sessions are available online worldwide. In-person somatic bodywork sessions are available in Belfast.
- There's no standard timeline. Some people taper over months, others over a year or more — the slower the better for most. My support adapts to where you are in that process. We find your rhythm together rather than following a fixed protocol.
- Yes. Everything shared in sessions is held in full confidence. As with all therapeutic relationships, the exception is where there is a serious risk of harm — this would always be discussed openly with you.
