This online training seminar will cover:

Gabrielle Feather is a PhD candidate in psychology at the University of Tasmania whose research focuses on the mental health impacts of ecological crisis. Her doctoral work explores eco-distress and how therapists and helping professionals can respond in ways that are practical, compassionate, and evidence-informed. Drawing on contextual and process-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), she has developed a new framework for understanding climate-related distress beyond narrow models of anxiety alone. Gabrielle also writes ‘Holding Both’ on Substack, where she explores psychology, meaning, and how to live well in a changing world.
