INTERNATIONAL SUPERVISION GROUP WITH NATURE AS DYNAMIC CO-PARTNER, commencing July 2024, details HERE.

NEW: MENTAL WELLNESS WITH NATURE AS PARTNER TOOLKIT,  details HERE.

With my love of the outdoors and specialist training in ecotherapy, I have integrated nature into my coaching and supervision practice when it is appropriate to do so. This involves much more complexity than simply taking a client out of the office and offers infinite potential. Here are examples of some aspects requiring particular expertise and attention:

  • Assessing when taking a client outdoors is (in)appropriate (SEE MY ROUTEMAP HERE).
  • Contracting, and spot contracting, for working together in an unpredictable, more democratic environment.
  • Ensuring psychological safety and containment in an uncontained open space and varying the natural setting to finetune its holding impact.
  • Drawing on the dynamic aspects of nature to accelerate internal processing (e.g. through the lenses of metaphor, Gestalt, mindfulness, somatic noticing for client and practitioner.)
