ABOUT ME

Psychedelic Psychedelics Assisted Therapy Addiction Coach Concierge Therapist Holistic Healing With Entheogens

Matt Akoma

At the heart of my practice is a deep commitment to recognising the impact of trauma on mental health and well-being. Drawing from evidence-based modalities and a wealth of experience, I approach therapy with sensitivity, empathy, and a profound respect for each client's colourfully nuanced journey. 

With extensive training and a profound dedication to trauma-informed care, I offer a safe and nurturing space for individuals to heal from past wounds and cultivate resilience. My journey into trauma therapy began with a profound recognition of the lasting impact trauma can have on one's mental, emotional, and physical well-being. This realisation, alongside my own lived experience, ignited my passion for providing support to those navigating the complexities of trauma, mental health conditions like anxiety, depression or PTSD and addiction.

My experience in recovery coaching and psychedelic therapy, allows me to bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to every client I serve. My journey into addiction coaching began with a personal understanding of the challenges in overcoming substance abuse. After years in the corporate world and indulging in nightlife's unhealthy pleasures, I experienced these struggles firsthand. This insight drives my commitment to providing compassionate and effective support to those on the path to recovery.

With a unique blend of expertise in both therapeutic practices and psychedelic-assisted therapy, I offer a personalised concierge service to guide individuals through transformative healing experiences. My journey into this field began with a recognition of the profound potential of psychedelic substances to catalyse healing and growth. Through ongoing education, training, and work with clients, I have honed my skills in supporting clients on their journey towards profound self-discovery and healing. In addition to my therapeutic work, which is primarily focused on guiding clients through their personal healing journey, I offer business consulting services for therapists, clinics and retreats.

My approach to my work is reflected in my logo, which is an Adinkra Symbol. Adinkra are symbols that represent concepts and aphorisms, which originated from the Gyaman people of Ghana. They serve as a concise way to convey deep truths in visual form and the symbol I use as my logo is partially reflective of my last name, Akoma.

Akoma, translating to "heart," embodies sentiments of love, kindness, patience, loyalty, affection and resilience. While the heart symbol universally signifies love, within the Adinkra tradition, it holds a nuanced interpretation. In this context, the heart symbolises qualities of patience and tolerance. Akoma Ntoaso (’united hearts), my logo, signifies a deep bond characterised by agreement, solidarity and cohesion, as an elaboration on the essence encapsulated by Akoma.
