What is an Eco Psychologist?

ECO-PSYCHOLOGY IS THE studY OF the powerful link between human wellbeing and the natural world, revealing how deeply nature influences our thoughts, emotions and behaviours.

IT’S a field that advocates for a holistic approach to mental health - one that involves reintegrating nature-based experiences into our lives.

The happy person, happy planet cycle.

 Eco-psychology recognises what I call the happy person, happy planet cycle. Because nature makes us feel good, the more connected to it we feel and therefore the stronger our resolve to protect it.

It’s about how nature benefits us AND how we can protect and sustain nature. It recognises that human wellbeing is deeply intertwined with the health of the planet. Creating a healthier relationship with nature can lead to better outcomes both for us and for the planet.

“The leading expert in wellbeing and nature.”

- WELL + GOOD

GOING OUTSIDE IS GOOD FOR US. IT’S SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO IMPROVE MOOD, resilience, creativity, memory, focus, sleep and even immunity.

AND YET, WE SPEND 93% OF OUR TIME inDOORS, MOSTLY STARING AT SCREENS. in the rush of everyday life, it’s easy to neglect nature or approach it with an agenda - to exercise, get from one place to another etc. but we’re now exeperiencing a nature deficit, which has most of us feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed and burnt out.

Space to feel

nature is the perfect antidote to the mental fatigue of our technology-driven indoor lives. a place to unplug, relax and recharge.

our limited time outdoors is more precious than ever. My mission is to inspire people to make the most out of nature’s wellness benefits. using my experience in positive psychology and nature therapy i create memorable and transformative experiences to help people reconnect with nature and with themselves.

 FAQs

  • BEST WAY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WELLBEING IN NATURE SESSIONS ARE LIKE IS BY READING what people say about it (ABOVE). OR YOU CAN ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE IN A FREE discovery CALL.

  • My 1:1 and group sessions can be done in-person or online. In-person sessions take place in beautiful nature spots in london and the surrounding counties. For online sessions you dial into an online audio call from your preferred nature spot.

  • It depends on what you’re hoping for from them. If you can share with me a little bit about you and what brings you to Wellbeing in Nature, I can make a suggestion, either through email or through a free discovery call.

  • Not exactly. While I do use some therapy techniques, my approach is more about proactive wellbeing. Instead of waiting for challenges to arise, we focus on building resilience and preparing for life's stresses in advance. You won’t need to attend weekly sessions or sit in a clinical office; this is about integrating wellness into your life in a more flexible and natural way.

  • THE JAPANESE TRADITION OF SHINRIN-YOKU IS AN IMMERSIVE AND MEDITATIVE EXPERIENCE FOCUSSING ON TAPPING IN TO ALL FIVE SENSES IN AN OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT. I AM A QUALIFIED FOREST BATHING GUIDE, SO CAN INCORPORATE THIS FOR YOU IF YOU WISH.

  • I believe in the philosophy that “there’s no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong outfits.” We make sure we have what we need to embrace the elements of nature (the right shoes, coat, sunglasses, water bottle etc). In dangerous weather conditions, we agree to reschedule.

  • For individuals:

    All pricing information is included on each page - for individuals, businesses and retreats.

  • You can book an initial consultation now by clicking here. Sessions take place on weekdays and weekends, subject to availability. You get full access to my calendar to quickly and easily book whenever is most convenient for you.

  • OF COURSE. REMOTE SESSIONS ARE AVAILABLE. You dial into an online audio call from your preferred nature spot.

  • Meaningful growth and reconnection require more than a single session. True progress, insight and change takes time to build. My approach prioritises lasting impact through a supportive, ongoing process of reflection, tailored guidance, and continuous growth. However, if after your first session you feel it’s not the right fit, I offer a full refund for any remaining sessions.

  • It’s best to check with your health insurance provider directly, as coverage can vary. Some insurers offer their own network of therapists and coaches, while others may reimburse you for services with the provider of your choice. Contact your provider to understand your options and benefits.
