Mary Greening
I am a counsellor and eco-therapist registered and accredited with the BACP working outside, online and on the phone. I work collaboratively with clients and we start by agreeing on a therapeutic contract. We look at what is happening now for the client and what they are wanting to change. I work at the client's pace and offer a safe, contained and non-judgemental space. I adhere to the Ethical Framework as stated by the BACP and have regular supervision. Over several years I have undertaken training in outdoor therapy and ecological practice. Additionally, I have attended courses on climate anxiety and eco-distress (e.g. BACP 2023) as well as 'Understanding Nature Connectedness' (University of Derby). Away from my professional work I am actively involved in the local community including a Climate Cafe and a Space for Nature group. A recent focus has been facilitating several screenings of the Peoples Emergency Briefing with different groups throughout the area.

CPA is not a counselling service and is not financially involved with individual practitioners. We simply connect people seeking support with climate-aware professionals.
