Nature - based therapy

Nature-based Therapy is a form of experiential therapy that incorporates one’s relationship with the natural world into counselling interventions to enhance a client’s growth and development and strives towards the reciprocal healing of both humans and their larger ecological home. Ecotherapy is specifically recommended for individuals experiencing: high physical tension, anxiety, insomnia, or for those seeking tools for regeneration.

Naturally in harmony
with nature

Nature based therapy blends the healing power of nature with mindful, sensory-focused practices. Sessions are designed to help you reconnect with your body, restore balance, and regulate stress, while fostering a sense of belonging and connection. Through gentle challenges and thoughtfully guided activities, you’ll engage in an experiential process that supports both physical and emotional well-being. Numerous scientific studies confirm the regenerative effects of natural environments on the human mind and body. The goal of ecotherapy sessions is to provide you with tools that help restore your balance, thereby supporting pharmacological treatment (if conducted). Each session is individually designed to meet the client’s needs.

How do I help?

The course of therapeutic work is always very individual. Therapy can be short-term, focused on solving a specific problem. It can also be a long-term process, dedicated to personality development. I offer the following options:

Consultation

A structured, nature‑based session (in person or online) to assess needs, set goals, and design a tailored program that integrates ecotherapy, mindfulness, and practical steps for wellbeing and climate readiness

Walk and talk therapy

A guided therapeutic walk in a natural setting combining talk therapy with movement and sensory grounding; supports processing, insight, and emotional regulation while benefiting from embodied connection to place.

Long-term therapy

A slow, gently guided immersive practice using mindful sensory exercises to reduce stress, deepen attention to the more‑than‑human world, and restore emotional balance, resilience, and ecological belonging.

How does natured-based therapy look like?

Nature-based therapy is a form of outdoor, walking psychotherapy. It usually is a forest or a blue area. I offer 2 types of nature therapy based on the interest of my clients (INDIVIDUAL or GROUP SESSIONS) and FOREST BATHING as a wellbeing activity.

INDIVIDUAL
nature-based therapy

The introductory session is a regular -indoor consultation that lasts 60 minutes. After that session we discuss the settings of the outdoor sessions individually (location, frequency, time etc).

Individual nature-based therapy session lasts 90 minutes.

Nature connection

I continue on broadening my knowledge and skills by actively being involved in numerous international training programs. I regularly supervise my sessions with senior teachers in my field.

Being outdoors and active are key ingredients of my practice, focusing on our relationships with nature to nourish our health and wellbeing. My approach is influenced and informed by ecological, narrative and somatic approaches and often includes sensory awareness and self-regulation practices. I’m a certified forest bathing guide and forest therapist (Forest Therapy Hub).

I believe in adhering to the strictest of ethical and professional standards for my profession in regards to privacy, confidentiality and competence.

I co-create an educational platform dedicated to Ecopsychology - Naturally Balanced
