Lucy Isherwood

I'm a BACP Accredited Counsellor and have been in practice since 2008, offering integrative counselling, somatic trauma therapy, creative therapies and Eco-therapy.
Having experienced my own distress and grief about the climate and biodiversity crisis, I care deeply about supporting others with these feelings and normalising them as a natural response to the magnitude and uncertainty of the poly-crisis we're facing.

I've been working with people bringing climate related / Eco-distress for several years.
I'm based in rural Devon between the coast and Dartmoor and offer outdoor and indoor face-to-face sessions, as well as online and phone sessions.

I believe in order to have any chance of creating a regenerative and sustainable future, we need to act in attunement with the Earth and listen deeply to the wisdom of the Natural world.

As well as the ecological systems we're part of, I I feel it's essential to include awareness of the cultural and social contexts we live in and the impact of these on our lived experience. I'm sensitive to differences in ethnicity, culture, age, religious / spiritual beliefs, sexual orientation, ability, neuro-diversity and gender.

Relevant training:
I've participated in an Active Hope course based on Joanna Macy's Work that Reconnects, climate cafes and training in working with climate / ecological distress (run by Caroline Hickman).
In addition I've attended programmes and had 1-2-1 mentoring with the Animas Valley Institute and recently trained in facilitating Wilderness Rites of Passage work, based on the approach of the School of Lost Borders.
