Ecological therapy within the frame of depth psychotherapy begins from the premise that the self is not an isolated ego but an ecological Self embedded in a web of relationships with land, animal & human community. 

Rather than treating symptoms in abstraction, this approach situates personal material within landscape, history & the more-than-human field, attending to how experiences of place & rupture shape psychic structure. 

Ecological grief is a resonable response to the polycrisis we are inhabiting, so we can meet this and explore what needs to happen.

We will work with imagery, memory and bodily sensation to reveal how attachments to particular places and ecological narratives have contributed to your identity formation and to current difficulties or questions. 

In the search for meaning and purpose, ecological therapy encourages a shift from a human-centred story to one of mutual belonging and responsibility. 

Clients are invited to explore what nourishes them in the world — particular soils, seasons, or practices — and to participate in reciprocity through ritual, activism or restorative encounters with nature. This reorientation can reconfigure purpose, offering a grounding sense of significance that is both existential and embodied.

Techniques I use in my depth-oriented ecological practice include dream and myth exploration, nature-based exercises, and collaborative, place-based projects that repair relationships at the local scale. 

By integrating these experiences into one’s life narrative, you can find a more resilient, expansive identity — an ecological Self —  that can hold the paradox of grief and joy, responsibility and intimacy, logos and mythos, with a renewed & authentic sense of belonging, purpose and identity.
