“I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. I thought the experiential side was excellent and not having too many slides even better. Loved the reading recommendations and ideas around exercises”.

 

"Absolutely outstanding workshop, very informative, educational and engaging. Great guidance to the practice and resources. This workshop covered more than I was expected and gave me clarity on the practice side of outdoor therapy."

 

"I really enjoyed the course. It was my first experience of working outdoors. I feel so confident after the course.I will definitely include outdoor psychotherapy in the list of services I offer. I found Joanne to be a very practical person , who is truly passionate about her subject. She has the ability to inspire other to take psychotherapy out of our counselling rooms into the great outdoors"

​

"Amazing course with the perfect balance of information, practical experience and group connection with Joanne's inspiring and passionate energy, knowledge and wisdom. Thank you so much! the seeds have been planted x"

​

"Really enjoyed experience and loved the balance of academic and nature experiential work. Upon reflection the growth was amazing"

 

"I have to admit that I was not expecting to learn as much as I did over the three days. It was a rich and loaded experience that I will always have. The exercises that we took part in were really thought provoking and eye opening to say the least, and working outdoors with a peer through phone or video chat was an amazing experience for me, changing roles from therapist to client was also an extremely valuable experience to be part of. I would really recommend this workshop to anyone really. If you are looking to connect or reconnect with nature or the natural world in any way I think that this workshop is an excellent choice, its not in any way complicated but its so full of great ideas, literature, self discovery, self care and wonderful people and the knowledge to be gained from it is immeasurable. Joanne has put together a really fantastic workshop that I can only see growing and expanding because of what it offer"

 

"The best CPD course I ever did worth every penny and I am feeling very heard by all and in awe of how this beautifully presented course has impacted me on such a positive level. Thankyou Joanne the best to you"

 

"I loved being outside and it provided me with the opportunity to identify how free I can be both as client and therapist to engage in this way both as client work and supervision. The possibility of combining virtual/outdoor sessions is a new concept for me."

"Very practical, focused & interactive outdoor therapy training experience with an outstanding tutor and empathic group of colleagues. Would highly recommend for all therapists, thank you for a fabulous three days Joanne."

"I feel I was brought into a whole new world of possibilities for working with clients that makes so much sense. The pace of the delivery was perfect and allowed time for processing our own experience in nature and considering how we will incorporate it in client work. A fantastic training so well put together and delivered. Thank you Joanne!"

​

"I feel I've gained the confidence on how to bring my psychotherapy practice outdoors and how to bring nature indoors too"

"I have really started to look at my own interaction and connection with nature. I am focused now on bringing the inside out and the outside in, but for me first, and then moving onto client work."

"Although I know that nature is good for my own process, I've become aware how to use it at a deeper level."

"The outdoor activities were very enjoyable and stirred up more emotions than I thought they would or that I was prepared for."

 
"I have a much better idea now about the type of work I would like to do with clients and the way I would like to work with them especially incorporating nature into the work."

"A lovely mix of content and process and great to connect with such a varied group. The practical tips were very useful and I really enjoyed the outdoor exercises."
