Woodland Play Therapy

Nature-based Therapeutic Skills Training

We deliver training to support therapists to take their work outdoors with confidence.

Since January 2022 we’ve delivered training and support to counsellors and therapists across Glasgow. All our training happens outside, in woodland environments, and participants experience the healing power of re-engaging with nature for themselves, plus learn techniques and skills to support their clients’ therapeutic processes.

Over the course of the last three years, Shuna Mercer and Sophie Kyle have designed, delivered and developed their signature, two-day Nature-based Therapeutic Skills Training in Glasgow’s Pollok Country Park.

Be in touch to find out when our next training will be running.

  • "The weekend has been a delight, very nourishing and has indeed felt like a retreat. At first I worried the course content was going to be too minimal but in fact the pace worked very well and allowed time for reflection practice and integration."

  • "I have had a fantastic two days, it was great to try practical activities and relate them in situ to the therapeutic benefits. The pace and quality of each session felt like it was a great fit for the learning"
