Supporting Patient Wellbeing Through Nature Connection

As a qualified Forest Therapy Practitioner, I work with medical professionals to support patient wellbeing through evidence-based nature connection sessions.

What is Forest Therapy?

Forest Therapy is a research-based practice that supports mental and physical health through guided immersion in nature. Sessions are designed to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, improve mood, and enhance overall wellbeing.

Session Options

Group Sessions: Regular time in local woodlands, parks and nature reserves across Lancashire

1-to-1 Sessions: Tailored support for individual patients with specific needs

Corporate Wellbeing: Sessions for healthcare teams and staff wellbeing programmes

Trauma-Informed Approach

All sessions are delivered with a trauma-informed, inclusive approach, with particular experience supporting women through perimenopause, neurodivergent individuals, and survivors of trauma and abuse.

Social Prescribing & Referrals

I welcome referrals from GPs, mental health practitioners, and other healthcare professionals as part of social prescribing initiatives. Forest Therapy sessions can complement traditional treatments for:

  • Stress and anxiety
  • Depression and low mood
  • Burnout and fatigue
  • Perimenopause and menopause symptoms
  • Chronic pain management
  • Recovery and rehabilitation
