Wilderness therapy for Individuals:

Private One-to one Sessions

Wilderness Therapy/Walking Therapy/Ecotherapy/Natural Awareness Therapy 1-2-1 Sessions

A very effective method of personal change, using all the benefits of counselling, psychotherapy and coaching, combined with walking and outdoor activities which use the natural environment, in order to aid your self-exploration and understanding, and stimulate your natural healing processes.

Suitable for anyone, but particularly effective for those who love nature and the outdoors, or those who feel uncomfortable with the traditional idea of therapy. May be successfully combined with my standard sessions held in my consulting room.

Usually held in the local nature reserve in Chorlton, or if you prefer a longer or more challenging walk, or a different location, it can be held further afield, if you book a longer session.

Book a 1 hour, multi-hour, half day or full day session.

• Booked at a time to suit you
• Lasting up to 90 minutes in the local nature reserve
• Complements and works well with my group nature-based sessions
• All treatment is carried out in a confidential, highly constructive, relaxed, supportive and non-judgemental environment
• All exercises make use of the natural environment to aid exploration, reflection and integration
• Advantages over group nature-based sessions (meaning quicker resolution):
  • Highly focused on your specific issues
  • Personal attention
  • The process is tailored uniquely to you and your requirements
  • More flexible time-wise. You book at a time that is convenient to you.
  • Less potential distraction
  • Highly confidential
• Disadvantages over group sessions:
  • Group feedback gives multiple perspectives and greater opportunity for learning and growth
  • You miss out benefits gained from group interactions
  • Group sessions are cheaper as the cost is spread between attendees
