EcoTherapy

Ecotherapy is a union between the ideas of ecopsychology and psychotherapy. Fundamental to ecotherapy is our connection to the natural world and the environment we live within. Ecotherapy uses a range of practices in order to help us connect with nature and ultimately with our ?inner? nature.

Personal distress can be alleviated by developing the mutual connection between inside and outside. Through learning to care for the natural environment we learn to care for and nurture ourselves. Ecotherapy is about personal healing and healing for the earth.

Ecopsychology focuses on our connection with the natural environment. In traditional psychology, the ?psyche? is considered in isolation from its natural environment. Ecopsychologists see this split between mind and nature as being at the heart of our current ecological crisis.

EcoTherapy provides psychotherapy, counselling, training and workshops for individuals and groups. Particular emphasis is given to the relationship between self and natural environment. Through focussed and unfocussed activities in nature participants are given the opportunity to explore and resolve personal difficulties that they are experiencing with the help of an experienced and registered psychotherapist.
