Ecotherapy
“To walk in nature is to witness a thousand miracles” ~ Mary Davies
Ecotherapy, also known as nature therapy or green therapy, brings psychological therapy into the natural environment. It helps you work through life’s challenges while reconnecting with yourself and nature.
Being in nature can help us slow down, feel calmer and become more aware of our bodies, feelings and surroundings. Ecotherapy builds on this experience, using nature intentionally to support personal insight, healing and growth.
At Hearth, your therapist guides you through activities such as mindful observation, movement, reflection and creative exploration. These experiences can help you understand your emotions, relationships and coping patterns, and navigate life changes.
Nature becomes more than a setting for therapy. It offers new perspectives and opportunities to reflect, learn and grow through life’s changes, losses and new beginnings.
At Hearth, ecotherapy is about reconnecting with yourself, deepening your relationship with nature and discovering new ways forward.
Ecotherapy is founded on the belief that our connection with nature is deeply rooted in our evolution as humans, and thus, this connection can be harnessed to support emotional, psychological, and spiritual healing.
What is Ecotherapy?
Why outdoor therapy?
Some clients find it easier to reflect while walking, sitting in nature, or engaging with the natural environment.
Outdoor therapy may feel less intense than sitting face-to-face in a room, while still being guided by a trained clinical psychologist.
Who might benefit from Ecotherapy?
People navigating stress, emotional difficulties, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship challenges and a sense of disconnection.
This is helpful for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or overly cognitively trapped in their thoughts.
