I am registered as a psychotherapist with the Humanistic and Integrative College (HIPC) and as a counsellor with the Psychotherapeutic Counselling and Intersubjective College (PCIPC) of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
I also teach psychology, counselling and psychotherapy with the Open University’s Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, and am a graduate member of the British Psychological Society and of its Psychotherapy and Transpersonal Psychology Sections. I am also a depth psychologist, transpersonal psychologist, ecopsychologist, and member of the Climate Psychology Alliance. These areas of psychology reflect my longstanding interest in psychological healing in its widest sense. This includes the wellbeing benefits from connecting with nature and the impact on life meaning from nature-depletion and loss of species, and the far-reaching consequences to wellbeing and mental health from the climate crisis. Linked to this is my ongoing interest in the psychology for sustainability or conservation psychology.
