What is ecotherapy?

Ecotherapy (otherwise known as wild therapy, outdoor therapy, or walk and talk) is a process of being with and engaging with the other-than-human to support your therapeutic process; considering your connection not only to yourself and other humans, but the rest of the ecosystem. This process can be hugely healing, moving, regulating, sometimes challenging, and inviting of symbolism and a "flowing through" of emotions which you may find become "stuck" in a therapy room. 

​Many people feel more settled in natural/outdoor spaces, and therapy is no different. The approach is particularly valuable for those wishing to reconnect with the earth due to their feelings of disconnection, those who are concerned about the climate emergency and changing world, and new parents; your babies are welcome to walk with us.

Wild therapy is not only about rediscovering our connection to the natural world of which we are a part of, but reconnection to parts of us which have been discarded and surpressed; our creatureliness and inner wild. This is something we can explore and rediscover together.
