I am Lydia West a biomedical scientist, therapist, yoga teacher and ceremonial healer. My work combines evidence-based psychology, holistic practices and indigenous wisdom to support deep healing, personal growth and spiritual integration.

Journey & Credentials

My journey has taken me from earning a BSc in Biomedicine and a Master’s in Psychology, to my studies with various indigenous tribes in South America and living with the Yawanawá tribe in the Amazon jungle, immersing myself in ceremonial plant medicine and healing practices. These experiences, alongside years of clinical and therapeutic work, allow me to guide others from a place of both knowledge and lived experience.

I believe that true empathy and understanding come from walking the path yourself. “I can only lead you as far as I’ve journeyed within myself.”

My Approach

Every session with me is intuitively tailored to your unique needs. I offer a safe, compassionate space for self-exploration and transformation. Depending on your path, our sessions may include:

• Integrative talk therapy

• Shamanic practices and ceremony

• Yoga, breathwork, and energy clearing

• Sacred plant medicines such as Rapéh, Sananga, and Cacao

• Organising Cultural experiences with Indigenous Peoples

My approach is holistic, blending mind, body and spirit, to help you integrate insights, release blockages and reconnect with your true self.

Why Work With Me

I bring together personal insight and professional expertise to guide and support you on your journey of growth and transformation. Drawing from both my own experiences and extensive training, I approach each session with empathy, compassion and understanding. Every interaction is held with integrity and confidentiality, creating a safe, secure space for exploration, healing and personal development.
