Coaching Outdoors Episode 52 - Eleanor Ratcliffe

“I’m particularly interested in what we call restorative environments; places and spaces that help people to recover the psychological resources they need to go about their everyday lives” Dr Eleanor Ratcliffe  Bringing sound into wider awareness Eleanor Ratcliffe has spent over a decade conducting research and teaching on the human-environment connection, where nature impacts psychological wellbeing. In her roles as environmental psychologist and lecturer at the University of Surrey, she specialises in understanding the ‘how’ and ‘why’ in the human connection between soundscapes, creativity, place attachment and memory.  Our conversations weave from unintended career choices into the academic world, the psychological importance of rituals to support change, personal differences in nature-connectedness and how to DJ with a songbird at a house party.  Listen in to discover how the sounds form an integral part of restorative environments and how to interweave soundscapes into your coaching practice to encourage relaxation, creativity and problem-solving. This conversation is a real gem to deepen your coaching practice from cutting-edge evidence-based science.   View podcasts and get in touch. https://www.coaching-outdoors.com Anna-Marie https://www.rfmcoaching.com Alex https://www.alexburnconsulting.com Paul https://pebbleassociates.co.uk/team-member/paul-jefferies/  #coachingoutdoors #outdoorcoaching #coaching #ecopsychology #ecocoaching #bluespace #greenspace #natureconnectedness #naturalenvironments #ecology #nature #environment #mentalhealth #wellbeing #coaches #coachees #movement #thinkingdifferently
