Ecotherapy & Walk & Talk Counselling

Join thousands of counsellors who are taking their therapy practice confidently into the outdoors

This workshop is suitable for qualified counsellors and trainee counsellors.

Walk & Talk Counselling & Ecotherapy options are growing in popularity as we see more and more counsellors exploring what it is like to meet clients in the outdoors.

Recently we created a designated Creative Counsellors® Walk & Talk Facebook group, where members have been sharing their inspiring stories of working in the outdoors and the incredible benefits that this can offer.

Working in nature offers us so many beautiful creative and healing benefits and in this online training module, we will explore:

• Safe practice outdoors, including contracting, confidentiality, risk assessments and other ethical considerations.
• How to work with nature as you walk and talk.
• Grounding and anchoring.
• Pacing.
• Side by side counselling vs eye to eye.
• Working with natural materials – what you find and what you see as part of the process.
• MBFI – Mind, Body, Feelings & Intuition in the outdoors.

This training is now a recorded on demand training and you can start this from the comfort of your home anytime!

On completion, you will receive a certificate issued for three hours of CPD.

Resources needed: Some basic creative materials like paper, pens & coloured pens. Some photos of outdoor areas that you enjoy walking in to reflect on spaces. Items/symbols that you have collected from nature to create some nature art.
