Blog 1/2
In this first of two blogs, I’m looking at the words we use to describe emotional responses to environmental and climate change, and why it might matter what we call it. In the follow-up blog I’ll look at my own approach to treating eco-anxiety.
Eco-anxiety or Eco-distress?
There is now ample evidence for the prevalence of eco-anxiety (often among young people in particular), with vigorous debate among academics as to our understanding of the relationship between observed emotional, behavioural and cognitive responses to the impacts of climate and environmental change more generally. Discussion ensues over terminology, categorisation and taxonomy of the psychology associated with climate change and what seems often to be a significant focus on ‘grief’……. [Read more]

Online 90-minute workshop 16 August 2023, 6.00-7.30pm
This introductory workshop provides an opportunity to share experience and begin to develop a deeper understanding about what eco-anxiety is, and how you can better manage and re-frame your approach to it. It acts as a standalone workshop but also offers the precursor preparation to subsequent individual one-to-one or small group therapy for eco-anxiety if desired.

A new academic year
Looking ahead to the new academic year in universities this September/October we are all looking forward to finally returning to more face-to-face teaching and learning. Lots has changed with the accelerated use of online technology, but some things really do work best face to face, especially interactive and collaborative working.
While I have maintained my in-person Bloomsbury clinic through much of the last 18 months of the Coronavirus pandemic my Monday evening clinic has had to be remote only via Zoom. I'm delighted to announce that from 6 October 2021 my Monday clinic moves to Wednesdays - between 4.00 - 9.00pm and returns for in-person appointments in South Kensington, in time for the start of the Autumn academic term. (Wednesday afternoons, of course, are traditionally when there is no teaching scheduled in universities.) [Read more]

Back in the clinic from 12 June 2020
I’m delighted to be able to say that I will be getting back to offering face-to-face therapy physically in my clinic from Friday 12 June 2020. While remote therapy via Zoom has worked very well for many people, it is not appropriate for everyone or all occasions. People may not have sufficient privacy to be able to be themselves when at home, or to say what they want without fear of being overheard……[Read more]

Can I afford private therapy?
If you are considering seeking private therapy of any kind an immediate consideration is likely to be cost - can I afford it? Unlike some forms of therapy cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy (CBH) is typically a short-term programme of treatment, because it is focused on specific issues and on helping you help yourself through developing skills and using techniques for greater self-efficacy. A short-term programme is likely to be around 4 - 6 sessions; ………..
