Ecopsychology
Let Nature Nurture You
Ecopsychology entails engaging with nature combined with reflective writing. It is an individual counselling method and can also be used as an effective group tool which fosters trust and insight into one another in a non-threatening manner.
The practice focuses on our inherent affinity with nature and seeks to restore our natural attractions which we may have become disconnected from. You acquire skills which you can embrace in your daily life and in your own backyard. The emphasis is on what makes a specific person feel good, what resonates with their soul and moves the focus away from whatever challenges the individual may be facing. You acquire skills which you can embrace in your daily life and in your own backyard.
It is a gentle and empowering process which does not require the unpacking of wounds, and no invasive questions are asked as to why you choose to follow this path of reconnection. Together we tailor make an approach to suit your lifestyle.
In focussing on natural attractions you connect again to the earth and foster a sense of place - belonging. As you discover and learn about the natural world around you and reflect upon it through writing you uncover who you are and broaden your sense of interconnectedness to the web of life.

“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the ‘Universe’ —a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and feelings, as something separated from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” Albert Einstein
