Jo Delahay

Jo is a psychotherapist, lecturer, trainer, and supervisor with over thirty years of experience in mental health. Her career began as a mental health nurse, working in inpatient, intensive care, and acute settings before moving into community-based roles within crisis day hospitals and acute community teams.

In 2008, Jo retrained as a psychotherapist and has since dedicated her work to supporting people living with complex trauma across both NHS and private settings. Her experience spans medical and intensive care trauma, as well as trauma within the veteran, paramedic, and fire service communities.

She currently works in a specialist NHS trauma service, focusing on developmental trauma and supporting refugees and people seeking asylum.

Jo is a professional member of the Institute of Psychedelic Therapy and is completing their two-year Depth Relational Process Training, during which she has gained both personal and professional experience of non-ordinary states of consciousness. This has deepened her understanding of how to support and integrate these processes with care and in safe relational ways.

She is passionate about preparation and integration in relation to psychedelic experiences, particularly within the safety of a community. Jo has deep respect for this work and honours its capacity to support profound personal transformation when held safely and within a relational context.
