Who Jodie Lynn is

Jodie Lynn is a senior practitioner at the NHS Cannabis Clinic for Patients with Psychosis (CCP), based at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM). The CCP, established in 2019 and commissioned by SLaM since 2022, is the first clinic in the UK to provide specialist community dual-diagnosis support for adults with psychosis who are seeking to reduce or stop their cannabis use. In her clinical role, Lynn delivers one-to-one and group-based psychosocial interventions — including cognitive-behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing approaches — helping patients manage practical and psychological hurdles around cannabis cessation. She is a co-author on the 2024 proof-of-concept paper in BJPsych Open reporting outcomes from the clinic's first 46 patients, which found 74% stopped using cannabis following the intervention. She has been quoted in UK press coverage describing her clinical methods, including role-play to support patients in setting boundaries with peers, and conducting online sessions for patients whose psychosis makes leaving home difficult.

“Sometimes we do role-play: how to have difficult conversations. Some people find it really difficult to set boundaries with their peers. And there are cannabis diaries: we get people to record when they're having joints, how they were feeling before and afterwards – the triggers.”
