Transpersonal coaching as the fourth wave psychological intervention for people and the planet

Abstract

This paper invites readers to reflect on and review the current developments and interventions in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and climate crisis, drawing from the established theory of planned behaviour, ecopsychology research, coaching and transpersonal psychology, and discusses the future action and practice in the realms of mindfulness and psychological intervention. We propose transpersonal coaching as the fourth wave psychological intervention to leverage positive change. We conclude with a call for action to encourage the reader to consider how they can apply the approach in their everyday life.
