Caroline is a lecturer in social work and climate psychology at the University of Bath, and a practicing psychotherapist and board member of the Climate Psychology Alliance (CPA). Currently for CPA she is supporting the development of a range of therapeutic outreach projects, working with teachers and in outdoor eco-education projects, offering workshops in schools (primary and secondary) and universities, and supporting the development of a service providing climate crisis aware psychotherapy. With CPA she is also creating a series of podcasts on Climate Psychology and Eco-Anxiety – ‘Climate Crisis Conversations – Catastrophe or Transformation.’

Caroline works with schools, parent groups, youth activist groups and as a psychotherapist with children, young people and adults dealing with eco anxiety and distress about the climate and biodiversity crisis.

Through the University she has been researching for five years children and young people’s feelings, including eco-anxiety about the climate and biodiversity crisis, to uncover and explore different stories, narratives and images around our defences against the ‘difficult truth’ we are facing. Her climate change research is with children and young people in the UK, Brazil, the USA, the Maldives, Nigeria and Bangladesh.
