My speciality is "climate aware" therapeutic coaching for people who have become - possibly painfully - aware of climate change, biodiversity loss, & the seeming (and in some cases, actual), collapse of much of what we used to consider "normal" life.Increasingly, people are seeking support for help in managing overwhelm, anxiety, distress, alienation, isolation, exhaustion, rage, fear, a sense of futility, guilt & more, and are looking for ways to find meaning, regain agency, and take action. Some people come having had a "climate awakening", others have experienced a growing unease. Some are activists, others worried relatives of activists. Some are trying to influence more widely for example at work, and finding it hard to stay resilient in the face of silence or indifference.The changes we're witnessing & experiencing in our world can evoke all kinds of difficult & complex defences, responses & emotions. I can provide time & space for you to explore how you feel and what you need, drawing on where useful, a growing range of therapeutic, coaching, climate psychology & ecopsychology ideas, practices & tools. (2021 research on 10,000 children & young people found 59% were very or extremely worried about climate change, 84% moderately worried, & more than 50% reported feeling sad, anxious, angry, powerless, helpless, & guilty. More than 45% said their feelings about climate change negatively affected daily life and functioning).https://tinyurl.com/climateanxietyYPsurvey2021
