New opportunities for outdoor talking therapy

The restorative capacity of the outdoors has long been known. As the evidence for this has grown, so have the number of psychological and therapeutic interventions incorporating the outdoors to support outcomes. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has further prompted services to consider relocating outdoors, as a way of ensuring interventions can continue safely. In this webinar, we will be exploring the outdoors as an alternative context for talking therapy.

It is hoped that this webinar will support attendees to:

  • Develop an awareness of the empirical grounding for outdoor talking therapy, including literature from environmental psychology, movement sciences and nature connectedness.
  • Synthesise the existing literature specific to outdoor talking therapy, along with the current recommendations and guidance.
  • Reflect on how the organisational culture you work in can either support or prevent access to outdoor talking therapy.
