Tamsin Thomas

I’m in the final year of my PhD in nature therapy; I’m investigating how forest therapy can help people with severe and complex mental illness feel more connected and less lonely.

Covid has created a loneliness epidemic and I’m really excited to bring what I’ve learned to the SCPA – my goal is to organise events that allow postgrads to make social connections and feel supported.

Outside of academia I enjoy camping, creating terrible woodwork projects and even worse paintings, and spending time with my wife, 2 dogs, and 3 cats!
