Psychedelic therapy
Psychedelic healing through legal, clinically supervised pathways
Psychedelic therapy has emerged as one of the most promising fields in mental health treatment, offering new possibilities for deep emotional healing, trauma resolution, and cognitive flexibility. While traditional psychedelics such as psilocybin and MDMA are still undergoing clinical trials, ketamine, as a non-traditional psychedelic, is the only legally prescribed psychedelic medicine currently available for therapeutic use in the UK.
At Ianthe House, we offer ketamine IV therapy in collaboration with The Burlington Clinic in London. Whether taken as a standalone intervention or combined with psychotherapy such as EMDR, ketamine offers a unique opportunity to unlock emotional insights, soften entrenched thought patterns, and reprocess past experiences.
+ legal, clinically supervised psychedelic therapy
+ neuroplasticity benefits support and enhance therapeutic work
+ available in conjunction with EMDR for ketamine-assisted psychotherapy

Why ketamine therapy?
-
eating disorders can involve deeply ingrained thought patterns and coping mechanisms. Research suggests that ketamine enhances neuroplasticity, creating an opportunity for new insights and emotional shifts that support long-term recovery
-
many individuals with eating disorders have a history of trauma, whether from early childhood experiences, body image distress, or long-term emotional suppression. Studies show that ketamine can help process trauma by reducing fear responses, creating emotional distance, and allowing for safe reprocessing.
-
ketamine is widely studied for its rapid antidepressant effects, making it particularly beneficial for individuals whose eating disorder is accompanied by persistent low mood, anxiety, or hopelessness. Unlike traditional antidepressants, which can take weeks to months to work, ketamine’s effects are often felt within hours to days.
-
unlike traditional psychedelics, ketamine has been used medically for decades, with a well-established safety profile in clinical settings. When administered by trained professionals in a therapeutic environment, ketamine provides a guided psychedelic experience with minimal risk.
