With climate change, economic turmoil and evidence all around us of an increasingly stressed planet, we are being called as members of the human species to wake up, dramatically, to our interconnections with the living environment that sustains us.

For some time now, in the UK and across much of the Western world, a growing number of therapists and psychologists have been thinking about what this means for us – as individuals, as groups, as societies, as fellow beings with those with whom we share this planet.

This EcopsychologyUK website, still very much in development, has been conceived as a forum for sharing ideas, enthusiasms, despairs, contacts, information and challenge about how we might engage with this profound ecological change at the level of psychology, meaning, emotions and purpose.

Come explore with us. And if any of us can help with ideas or support, do let us know by contacting us through email. You can also sign up on the top right hand of the page to emailed or RSS alerts.
