Spending time in nature can feel restorative and grounding. The colours, sounds and sense of connection to something beyond ourselves can bring a feeling of aliveness, calm and presence that is often harder to access in the pace of everyday life.

Research into the impact of nature on our mental and physical wellbeing continues to grow, with time spent in green spaces linked to reduced stress, improved mood and a greater sense of connection.

For some people, this makes outdoor therapy a meaningful alternative to working indoors.

Walk and talk therapy

Walking side by side, rather than sitting face to face, can feel more comfortable when sharing thoughts and feelings. The rhythm of walking, alongside being outdoors, may support a sense of ease, reduce rumination, release physical tension, and help you feel more connected to your body as you process your experience.

Space, pace and stillness

Depending on your needs, we may also choose to sit together, or spend time in silence if that feels helpful. Being outdoors can offer a different kind of space—one that allows for reflection, stillness, and whatever you might need to bring in that moment.

Working outdoors together

Outdoor therapy is not separate from the way I work—it is an extension of it.

I continue to work in a relational, psychodynamic and somatic way, paying attention to your inner world, your relationships, and how your experiences are held in the body. The outdoor environment can support this process, offering a different way of being with your thoughts, feelings and surroundings.

We can think together about whether working outdoors feels like the right fit for you.
