He holds a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology, a PgDip in Psychology and Mental Health from Glasgow Caledonian University, and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the Edinburgh Napier University. Christoph is accredited with the British Psychological Society and registered with Health and Care Professions Council.

Christoph is passionate about exploring the transformative potential of psychedelics in the context of psychotherapy. Christoph’s professional work is deeply influenced by his interest in the numinous way of life. He is fascinated by the transpersonal aspects of human experience and seeks to integrate these dimensions into his therapeutic practice. Drawing from a variety of therapeutic frameworks, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person-Centred therapy, mindfulness, and his own meditative practices, Christoph helps clients explore their inner worlds and unlock the wisdom and insights that come from connecting with the numinous aspects of their being.

Christoph is particularly interested in the qualitative components of psychedelic experiences, which he believes are critical in the effectiveness of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. In addition to his private practice, Christoph is an active member of the Psychedelic Health Professionals Network, where he serves as Treasurer and Psychedelic Facilitator. Christoph also contributes to the Scottish Psychedelic Research Group at the University of Edinburgh, conducting research on the therapeutic use of psychedelics.

Christoph has experience working with a range of issues, including trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and addiction. He is committed to providing a holistic, personalised approach that integrates the numinous dimensions of human experience into the therapeutic process.
