Climate anxiety, also known as eco-anxiety, refers to the distressing emotions individuals experience due to the awareness of climate change and its potential consequences. These feelings can manifest as anxiety, grief, guilt, or a sense of helplessness. Recognizing the profound impact of these emotions, I offer specialized support to help individuals navigate their climate-related feelings and develop effective coping strategies.
Our approach is informed by contemporary climate psychology and incorporates evidence-based techniques, including:
Since early 2019, I have been deeply involved in climate and environmental activism, with a focus on truth-seeking, accountability, and systemic change. I work to expose the gap between climate promises and political behavior, and I show how some companies, governments, and leaders claim sustainability while enabling harmful decisions that worsen the climate and nature crises and primarily benefit polluters.
In addition to being an activist, I am the chair of the EDSP ECO Foundation, a non-profit research and project organization that creates an environment to support organizations worldwide engaged in actions to protect the planet, combat poverty, and enhance well-being. We provide support in the form of building and managing websites, conducting extensive research, setting up and running digital campaigns, connecting stakeholders, giving speeches and interviews, and developing and implementing nature- and climate-friendly solutions. Through EDSP ECO, I am responsible for, among other things, the following initiatives and projects:
This work has given me unique insight into the emotional toll of climate awareness: the grief of watching nature be destroyed, the anger at systemic injustice, the helplessness when progress feels slow or fake. As a therapist, I don’t just understand climate anxiety from a distance—I’ve lived it, questioned it, acted on it. And I bring that experience into the therapeutic space: to support, to validate, and to help transform painful clarity into empowered care and grounded action.
At the beginning of 2025, I completed a foundational course in Climate Psychology. During this course, the following topics were covered:
Introduction to Climate Science: Discussion of the latest facts and insights regarding climate change.
Psychological Impact of Climate Change: Analysis of its effects on an individual level, including climate-related emotions and anxiety.
Behavioral Change and Climate Behavior: Application of psychological models to understand and influence behavioral change in individuals and groups.
System Transitions: Insight into how large-scale systemic changes occur and how to support them.
Practical Applications: Translating theory into practice using scientifically validated models and interventions.
The foundational course in Climate Psychology combines scientific knowledge with practical tools and offers space for reflection and meaningful connection.
