Nature can be a powerful vehicle
for personal development, healing and growth.

 

Our bespoke Therapeutic Wilderness Journeys on the stunning West coast of Scotland combine counselling with the healing power of Nature. Sleeping under canvas, living in the outdoors, they are deeply nurturing and transformative experiences which help to restore your inner balance, recharge your batteries, and enable you to develop a new perspective and find your direction.

After over 30 years of practice, of helping people through challenge or personal crisis, our approach is guided by a deep-rooted experience and intuition as much as by our training as a Person-Centred Counsellor and Reality Therapy Trainers. Our style is non-authoritative, allowing you to take a lead in discussions in which we gently guide the therapeutic process focusing on your potential, competences, the present moment and the future (rather than the past). We see our role as a compassionate facilitator and guide, listening respectfully and carefully, and without judgment.

Personal Growth

We are passionate about helping people overcome difficulties, by transforming what is challenging into an opportunity for personal growth. Our focus is on enabling you to achieve your full potential by facilitating a process of self-discovery in which you eventually find and self-actualize solutions.

When we are close to nature we are close to our authentic selves.

Personal Growth

The journey

We will collect you from Edinburgh Airport or train station and together we will journey by Landrover to our wilderness base on the stunning shores of West Scotland where we will spend 6 days of tranquillity.

Sleeping under canvas, on the roof of the Landrover, we will spend time walking, talking, exploring the sea and coastline, and finding solutions to challenges with a new sense of direction and balance.

The journey

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

Wilderness Therapy
It has been my experience that when we are close to nature we are and can be close to our real selves. Combining over 30 years of wilderness journey expeditions with my Person-Centred Therapy training I have developed this unique Wilderness Therapy programme on the West Coast of Scotland.
