The Certified Outdoor Therapist Programme has been designed for qualified therapists such as psychologists, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, as well as counsellors and mental health teams, who want to harness the therapeutic power of the outdoors to support their clients.

This course is appropriate for those working with children, adults, young people or mixed age ranges. The content is adaptable to all ages and client groups.

Throughout this course, you’ll find out more about the benefits to taking your therapeutic approach outside. These include reducing stigma and breaking down barriers for individuals who struggle with the face-to-face or office-based nature of therapeutic support, through to the physiological and psychological benefits of spending time outdoors for yourself and your clients. Our programme gives you all the development you need to start delivering effective outdoor therapy straight away.
