An introduction to outdoor therapy

Back by popular demand, this training is provided by Long Valley Therapy and offers a gentle introduction to some of the practical, ethical and process considerations therapists should be aware of when they move their work outdoors.

This training is aimed at qualified counsellors or those currently in their second year of Level 4 training. It will provide ‘the basics’ that you need to know about, in order to work ethically and safely outdoors with clients. We will also begin thinking about the theoretical and philosophical differences between indoor and outdoor therapy.

Note: This training includes being outdoors, walking up to 2 hours on uneven terrain and will proceed regardless of the weather (unless unsafe to do so).

Max group size: 6

• Indoor lecture/discussion about outdoor/eco theory.
• Indoor Lecture/discussion about the ethical considerations.
• Outdoor practical activities, including a walk (about two hours).
• Refreshments and a CPD certificate (6 hours) included (you will need to provide your own lunch).
