Nina Lochle

I am an experienced Gestalt psychotherapist working in private practice in south London.
I bring curiosity to how my client’s responses to climate change interact with their habitual ways of being and knowing and further how these are shaped by their life-situation, their environment and dominant culture. I’m interested in how their past and present experience, as well as anticipatory futures influence their daily functioning. Working holistically, I attend to my clients’ thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations as an integrated whole. My practice is Trauma- and Neurodiversity informed. I can offer sessions in English and German.
I am a CPA member and regularly run climate cafés, peer supervisions and workshops with the aim of providing containing spaces for the many difficult feelings that can arise in response to climate change and biodiversity loss. I aim to stay informed by current climate psychology thinking through regular workshops and continued professional development. I further have personal experience as a volunteer street campaigner for Greenpeace. My journey to become a therapist, was rooted in climate concern and began many years ago through a profound clash of my environmental values with the common practices within my former design career.
I hold a Msc degree in Gestalt psychotherapy from the Metanoia Institute in London. Further I am a fully accredited clinical member and abide by the ethical standards of the UK council of psychotherapists (UKCP).
