'Into the Wild': A meta-synthesis of talking therapy in natural outdoor spaces
'Into the Wild': A meta-synthesis of talking therapy in natural outdoor spaces
Psychologists, counsellors, and psychotherapists are increasingly using talking therapy outdoors.
Individualised assessment and formulation is required to determine client suitability.
Outdoor therapy benefits from holism, mutuality, freedom, and interconnectivity.
Most common in private practice due to barriers in organisational cultures.
A framework is provided with key considerations for the outdoor therapy process.
