Jo Dice

Jo Dice is an integrative psychotherapist in Brighton and Hove who specialises in preparation and integration around psychedelic experiences. She works in person and online, short or long term, and is a registered member of the BACP.

Approach

Dice spent twenty years in nursing before training as a therapist. She studied transactional analysis for four years and holds a diploma in integrative psychotherapy, a Level 6 counselling diploma from the National Counselling Society and certificates from the Navigating Psychedelics courses run by Psychedelics Today. Her work draws on humanistic, Jungian, Gestalt, relational and transpersonal approaches, attachment theory and bodywork, as well as shamanic and indigenous wisdom. Integration sessions take place before and after a psychedelic experience, never during it, and she can point clients to books, workbooks, breathwork and meditations but not to sources of substances.

Who it is for

Her clients come from all walks of life. Her special interests include gender, sexuality and relationship diversity, survivors of narcissistic abuse, sex and consent, and neurodivergence; she has autism and ADHD herself and calls her practice neuroaffirmative.

Practical details

A 25-minute introductory session is free. A single 50-minute session costs £60, and a course of six costs £300, paid and booked in advance. Before committing to longer-term work she uses an informal assessment over six sessions.

Care and safety

Her ethical stance is harm reduction. She notes that most psychedelics are Class A drugs in the UK and that psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is legal only in research settings, ketamine being the exception, so she does not recommend taking them illegally.
