Cath is a psychologist and family therapist located on Bundjalung Nation, Murwillumbah, NSW. Her clinical background is in child and adolescent mental health and her desire to work with the whole family system drew her to systemic family therapy. Her appreciation for systems theory and its application in therapy, combined with belonging to a community directly impacted by repeated climate change-related disasters, led her to commence a research PhD in climate emotions. Her project is entitled: Integrating ecopsychology, systems thinking and community-based practices for working with ecological emotions in communities prone to successive disasters
