Working outside or in other environments

Wild Therapy

Wild Therapy invites you to step outside the traditional therapy room and engage with the natural world as part of your healing journey. Sessions can take whatever form feels right for you such as walking and talking along a path, finding a particular spot, or just allowing the outdoor environment to guide and inform our work together.

Many people find that being outdoors naturally encourages a sense of openness and ease. You might feel drawn to to a particular tree, rock, or body of water for example, and it can enrich the therapeutic work in unexpected ways.

Wild Therapy is an invitation to open your senses and notice what draws your attention. Sometimes the land speaks directly to the situation you're working with; at other times, meanings will come to you later. In this approach, the natural environment becomes a co-therapist, offering its own wisdom and support.

Shamanism

Shamanic practice offers powerful tools for psychological and spiritual healing. Through visualisation, we journey to upper and lower realms, areas that correspond to different parts of the unconscious, with the intention of finding or restoring personal power, releasing unwanted or intrusive energy, and calling back lost parts of the self.

Solo walking in nature

Solo walking in nature is a practice that involves spending time in nature with a specific theme or intention, and cultivating receptivity to guidance and communication from the land itself. This practice deepens your relationship with the natural world and can bring clarity, healing, and renewed vitality.

Other ways of working

I facilitate workshops for groups on solo walking and mirroring practices, and journey work, as well as offering one-to-one sessions. Whether you're new to shamanic practice or looking to deepen your existing connection, I'm here to support your exploration on your own or in a group. See some reviews.
