In addition to doing therapeutic work in a clinic, there is the option of working together outside in a natural environment.
Being in nature is inherently calming to the nervous system, which is a key component in trauma healing. Additionally, body-based methods for trauma processing are particularly well suited to the outdoors.
When we sit or walk in nature together, you will have the opportunity to be guided in these methods that support a calm state of mind and body as we explore the circumstances that brought you to therapy.
I have found that therapy in nature can be ideal for teenagers and young adults, although clients of all ages have emphasised positive experiences.
Sessions are structured around a 1 hour walk and can be offered in several different spaces across the Northern Rivers.
The therapeutic interventions and confidentiality offered is the same as it would be in a consultation room but draws upon the natural elements to increase wellness.
