Her strong connection with nature through sea swimming, rock climbing and love of animals has drawn her to take her therapy practice outdoors. She has a keen sense of social and ecological responsibility and is taking further study in power, oppression and privilege. She is exploring the intersectionality of gender, age, race, class, climate-crisis and mental health.
