Emerging Purpose

Integrative Therapy with a Transpersonal Perspective

I’m a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor based in Brighton, offering both in-person and online sessions. My approach is integrative psychotherapy with a transpersonal perspective, supporting individuals who are seeking deeper meaning, healing, and personal growth.

Sometimes in life we lose our sense of purpose and begin to wonder what it’s all about. Therapy can offer a safe, supportive space to explore these questions and reconnect with yourself.

Services I Offer

• Individual Psychotherapy – for anxiety, depression, life transitions, spiritual exploration, and personal development.

• Psychedelic Integration Therapy – supporting clients after experiences with psychedelics, whether in medical trials, ceremonies, or personal settings.

• Clinical Supervision – transpersonal and integrative supervision for therapists and practitioners.

My Background & Approach

I hold a Post-Graduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling, an MA in Psychosynthesis Psychotherapy, and a Diploma in Transpersonal & Integrative Clinical Supervision.

I was part of the Imperial College London research team exploring the comparative effects of psilocybin and SSRIs on Major Depressive Disorder. I also currently work at Hammersmith Medical Research Centre as a psychedelic therapy guide.

My name is Greg Donaldson, and I work as a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor in Brighton and online.

I trained at the Psychosynthesis Trust, where I completed a Post-Graduate Diploma in Psychosynthesis Counselling and later an MA in Psychosynthesis Psychotherapy. I also hold a Diploma in Transpersonal & Integrative Clinical Supervision.

Over the years, I’ve supported people from many walks of life through challenges both immediate and profound. Some come to therapy in moments of crisis, others out of curiosity or a wish to deepen their self-understanding. There is no “right reason” or “right time” to begin — therapy is simply a space where you don’t have to face things alone.

My Approach

I believe therapy is about meeting you where you are. Sometimes that means addressing pressing difficulties such as anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles. At other times it’s about exploring deeper questions of meaning, purpose, or spiritual growth.

Much of my work involves helping people uncover parts of themselves they may have long kept hidden or exiled. When these parts are finally welcomed into awareness, they often bring a renewed sense of purpose, vitality, and connection.

What Inspires My Work

One of the guiding truths of my practice comes from M. Scott Peck:

“Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult – once we truly understand and accept it – then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.” 

Therapy is not about removing the difficulties of life, but about changing our relationship to them — so that what once felt unbearable can be lived with more acceptance, freedom, and even growth.

Professional Standards

• I am a registered member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).

• I have full public liability insurance.

• I attend regular supervision and keep up to date with ongoing CPD (Continuing Professional Development).

• I offer weekly 60-minute psychotherapy and supervision sessions in Brighton and online.

Free Introductory Meeting

I offer a free 20-minute Zoom session for potential clients. This isn’t a therapy session, but a chance for us to meet, discuss your needs, and answer any questions you may have.

If you’d like to arrange this introductory call, please email me and I’ll get back to you with available times.

Your First Session

If we decide to continue working together, we’ll create a clear therapy agreement. This includes:

• the confidential nature of our sessions
• our commitment to weekly meetings
• and the cancellation policy

Consistency is important in therapy. For that reason, sessions are usually held once a week, either in person in Brighton, online via Zoom, or a mixture of both.

Session Details

• Length: 50–60 minutes
• Fee for Individuals: £75
• Fee for Supervision: £75
• Psychedelic Integration 4 x 60 minute sessions: £400
• Concessionary rates: available where possible

I have a 48-hour cancellation policy. If a session is cancelled with less notice, the full fee is payable. I’ll always do my best to offer an alternative time where I can.

Sessions are usually held once a week at the same time. This regularity helps create consistency and depth in the work.
