I am a psychoanalytically trained psychotherapist and have been involved in the environmental movement since my 20s when I was part of the editorial collective of ‘Undercurrents’ magazine. I am the founder and director of Cambridge Carbon Footprint, a Cambridge based charity that uses approaches drawn from psychotherapy, social marketing and community work to engage diverse audiences in work on climate change.
I am the author of ‘A New Climate for Psychotherapy?’, an exploration of resistance to action on climate change and of ‘Carbon Conversations‘ CCF’s handbook for their short courses exploring how to halve your carbon footprint.
I also facilitate workshops on climate change communication and community engagement and offer consultancy to business on employee engagement in carbon reduction. I was previously a lecturer with the Open University and an independent consultant for the development of distance learning materials.
