Our support options

XR Rebel2Rebel Telephone Active Listening

Feeling anxious, lonely, or just had a bad day? The XR Rebel2Rebel Telephone Active Listening service is up and running! All you need to do is make a request and a trained and vetted Rebel Active Listener will give you a call. Please note that this is not a counselling/psychotherapy service.

For further information and to gain access to this service please email Rebel2Rebel@tesn.uk.

Counselling or Psychotherapy

Do you feel you would benefit from one to one Counselling or Psychotherapy?

The Climate Psychology Alliance (CPA) provides a list of Practitioners offering three free sessions of therapeutic support to activists. Please note that the practitioners on this list below have not been formally vetted and as such, it is up to you to confirm their credentials and suitability.
