Marc Williams

I am a Clinical Psychologist in the NHS, and I offer cognitive-behavioural therapy and compassion-focussed therapy to adults with a range of difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, eating disorders, and physical health conditions. I am interested in helping those who are struggling with climate and ecological change, and conduct research in this area at Cardiff University.

I have received training from the Climate Psychology Alliance on working with climate/eco-distress, and training in eco-therapy. My personal passion for understanding and mitigating climate and ecological change also propelled me to complete a PhD in environmental psychology.

My approach to climate/eco-distress is grounded in the view that these are natural and understandable emotional responses. I believe that therapy serves as a valuable tool for developing new ways of understanding ourselves and our place in the world, and can foster a deeper understanding of our emotions as we navigate life’s complexities.
