Meet Delia

Delia Florea is an actress, writer, and mental health practitioner working at the intersection of performance and psychological wellbeing. She was born in Iași, Romania, to an emergency medical doctor mother and an engineer father. She began writing poetry and fiction in early childhood, a practice that continues to inform her artistic work. At the age of 21, while working in Los Angeles for a summer, she had her first direct contact with the film industry and decided to pursue acting professionally.

​

She graduated from the Academy of Theatre and Film Bucharest (UNATC) with both a BA and an MFA, and began her professional career as a theatre actress at the National Theatre Bucharest in 2011. Alongside her work on stage, she co-founded two independent theatre companies and produced original creative projects across theatre and film.

​

Delia later moved to London, where she signed with a modeling agency and soon  was offred a representation for a talent one as well. Later on she  became as well  part of the first cohort of Mental Health and Wellbeing students at the University of Northampton, London, formally training in a field that would come to shape her multidisciplinary practice. 

​

During the COVID 19 pandemic, while working closely with actors as a reader and audition coach, Delia observed that many creatives were experiencing mental health difficulties and often lacked the tools or language to address them. This period clarified her belief that wellbeing is as vital as craft, and that sustainable creative work depends on both being equally supported.

 

​Delia's debut as a producer,"Visualization", premiered in London in July 2022 and has been selected for numerous film festivals across five continents, receiving the qualification for Oscar consideration, and submitted to the 96th Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences event (Oscar Awards 2023).

​

Today, Delia works across acting, writing, and mental health practice. She provides on-set support as a Mental Health First Aider, facilitates workshops for actors and creative professionals, and works with postpartum mothers with babies under one year old using art-herapy-informed approaches.

 

Her work is rooted in the conviction that creativity, empathy, and psychological safety are inseparable, and that meaningful artistic expression can only thrive when the human behind the work is genuinely cared for.
