What is Ecotherapy?

Ecotherapy is a nature-based approach that brings therapeutic conversation and reflection into natural outdoor settings. Rather than sitting indoors, sessions can take place in parks, woodland areas and quiet walking routes across Shropshire.

Being outdoors can offer a different environment for counselling, with space to walk, pause, notice your surroundings and explore what is happening in your life at a comfortable pace.

The pace can be slow.
The environment can feel grounding.
And nature becomes part of the therapeutic process.

Different ways to experience ecotherapy

While there are many forms of ecotherapy and nature-based practice, Inner Wild Counselling focuses on a gentle, accessible and relational approach. Sessions can be adapted around your needs, preferences and comfort with being outdoors.

How Ecotherapy Works

Ecotherapy combines therapeutic conversation with time spent outdoors. Depending on what feels comfortable for you, a session might involve walking, sitting, noticing your surroundings, mindful activities or simply taking time to pause.

There is no requirement to be particularly “outdoorsy”. The pace, route and activities can be adapted around your preferences and the environment.

Nature becomes part of the therapeutic process

The natural environment can provide space to slow down, pause and notice what is happening around you. We can walk, find stillness when needed and choose routes that feel comfortable, while using the outdoor setting as part of the therapeutic conversation.
