Jocelyn is a Psychodynamic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, EMDR Practitioner and Clinical Supervisor working in private practice. Jocelyn has a role as a Cover Guide and Therapist on the DMT for depression clinical research trial in London. She cohosts Brighton Psychedelics and co-facilitates psychedelic integration circles in Brighton and online. Jocelyn is passionate about the transformative potential of education. For over a decade, Jocelyn taught Psychology at GCSE, A-Level, Foundation Degree and Undergraduate Level. For many years, Jocelyn also home educated her own children. During her teaching career, Jocelyn developed an appreciation that shifting paradigms begins with education. As an educator, Jocelyn now brings this passion into her work with psychedelics. She is optimistic about the psychedelic renaissance and its potential impact on global health systems.
Initially, Jocelyn’s interest in the transpersonal came from her own spontaneous transcendental altered states experiences. After consolidating these experiences, Jocelyn started to explore and make sense of what had happened to her. This led her on a journey to retrain as a psychotherapist. She developed an interest in how similar experiences might be achieved using entheogens. Jocelyn recognises that the life defining therapeutic potential of a spiritual emergence is best supported through the relational connections that we have with others, and with the natural world. She uses this approach in her work.
Jocelyn enjoys gardening and walking. She is a mother and a bee-keeper, and has a keen interest in the healing properties of the natural world.
