Global heating, catastrophic climate change and the growing reality of ecosystem damage and accelerated species extinction hang over us all. For the counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists, coaches and their supervisors who make up the talking therapy professions, these topics are increasingly coming up in their work. They must deal both with their clients' and communities' emotions and responses - their fear, anger, denial, grief, helplessness and hopelessness - and with their own. The chapters in this thought-provoking, honest, moving and sobering book explore the frameworks, theoretical constructs and ways of working they have devised to hold hope and build agency in the face of all this complexity, uncertainty and injustice. Contributors from a range of cultural backgrounds and professional disciplines discuss our inter-relationships with the natural world, indigenous practices and understandings, acknowledging our betrayal of our children and young people, how to go on practising at the edge of despair, staying well in unwell times, 'rewilding' hope, deep adaptation coaching and much more.

Holding the Hope charts the way to fertile ground through the wild lands of climate shock, overwhelm, paralysis and despair. These essays, written by trailblazers in climate psychology and related domains of existential coaching, psychotherapy and philosophy, will validate, strengthen and inspire those looking to help others on this path. A gritty gift for these times. Britt Wray, PhD, author of Generation Dread and Planetary Health Fellow, Stanford University School of Medicine;Climate change is a crisis confronting us all, clients and therapists alike. This innovative and important collection of chapters can help us meet this challenge with hope and with a sense of possibility for overcoming inactivity, resignation and despair. An essential read for therapists who want to face the reality of our world in crisis with their eyes open. Mick Cooper, Professor of Counselling Psychology, University of Roehampton, and author of Psychology at the Heart of Social Change; Mild concerns about climate change only a couple of decades ago have now shifted to intense fears of an impending climate crisis and disaster. Every season, somewhere on the planet, there are weather conditions that are more severe than any experienced only 50 years ago. This existential threat is not just restricted to Homo sapiens but impacts upon flora and fauna across the globe, with the inevitable losses in biological diversity. This book is a call to action for coaches and counsellors and their professional bodies to face up to the challenges of the ensuing climate catastrophe while remaining hopeful that it can be addressed. Instead of just becoming overwhelmed by the current situation, practitioners will find this book helpful to stay focused and motivated. Professor Stephen Palmer, Director, International Centre for Ecopsychology, Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology and editor of the Journal of Ecopsychology; The global ecological challenge requires humanity to fundamentally change the way we think and how we understand and engage with the world around and beyond us. This book provides so many helpful different perspectives on how we can undertake the transformation the Earth is requiring of us in our personal and professional lives, to move from overwhelm to hope in order to co-create a radical new future in the relationship between humans and the more-than-human world. Professor Peter Hawkins, Chairman of Renewal Associates, author and global thought leader on ecology, leadership, systemic coaching and societal change; Hope dies, action begins. These words helped us to set the tone for Extinction Rebellion back in 2018, and between then and now there has been a lively debate about this malleable concept, hope! I know that where we are headed we will need therapeutic relationships and practices. In fact, I believe that we will soon need to find ways to grow supportive and therapeutic systems and networks exponentially. So this is a timely contribution to the world we find ourselves in, and with excellent breadth and depth. I congratulate the editors and contributors for this enriching compilation. It will be very helpful if this will assist people to find courage after despair and reckon with the responsibility we now shoulder to make hope possible through engagement, care and action. For in these times, we must earn our hope. Clare Farrell, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion, fashion designer and lecturer; This beautifully curated and intelligent collection reminds us of the interconnectedness that is our birth right and the wisdom that lies in accessing diversity of voices and cultures. Not a comfortable read, given the territory ecological emergency but also the authors choose depth, authenticity and courage over cheerleading and false hope. Yet the overarching sense is that there is hope. A vibrant, and vital read for all helping professionals, including coaches. Liz Hall, editor of Coaching at Work,
