Coaches unsure whether to raise the issue of the climate crisis with clients may find motivation from a survey by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) revealing that more than half (57%) of UK adults say climate crisis affects their mental health.

The BACP’s 2024 Public Perceptions Survey shows that this rises to 63% for those aged 16 to 24 and to nearly three- quarters (73%) of people who’ve experienced a mental health issue in the past five years.
