pathways to wellbeing through nature connectionWellbeing pathways through nature connection for adults and children and Accredited Wellbeing In Nature training for professionals working outdoors and with Social Prescribing
We provide one-to-one and group sessions for children who are experiencing one or several of the following: generalised or school-related anxiety, lack of self-confidence and self-esteem and levels of emotional dysregulation that are impacting negatively on the child’s life experience. We offer therapeutic, nature-based pathways to reduce anxiety, build confidence and promote holistic development.
“I value these sessions so much for my son and the difference in his confidence level to tackle things he wouldn’t before has been noticed at school.” (parent 2023)
We also provide Accredited Level 3 training for people wanting to work with Social Prescribing or run their own wellbeing sessions for adults outdoors. The Wellbeing In Nature qualification is delivered over 4 months, beginning January, May and September involving online tutorials twice a month together with a weekend of practical experience to deepen understanding of planning and running Wellbeing in Nature sessions.

Tree Therapy sessions – care for the environment
A reciprocal model of wellbeing with people promoting the wellbeing trees, which in turn promote their wellbeing through gentle physical activity, caring for the environment, learning new things and having some gentle fun with other like-minded people. These low-cost sessions are open to anyone over 18 in the community and the only requirement is to be fairly steady on your feet and happy to be out in all weathers.

Practical or reflective wellbeing workshops
Scientific studies have demonstrated that just spending time in nature delivers wellbeing benefits. We offer opportunities for people to discover this for themselves through engaging with workshops that can be geared towards Bushcraft, Forest-bathing, Mindfulness in Nature or a specific creative activity such as ‘Wellbeing through nature connection writing’. The tranquil environment has been described as “spiritual” by some and “soothing” by most.
