Ecotherapy54 CIC is a not-for-profit organisation delivering professional, evidence-based mental health support through structured, nature-based interventions.

Our work offers early, accessible help to those facing stress, anxiety, low mood, social isolation, or work-related pressures. Whether it’s a young person navigating school life, an adult juggling responsibilities, or a professional under strain, we provide a compassionate, preventative alternative to traditional clinical care — helping individuals reconnect with themselves, others, and the natural world.

Our team includes qualified counsellors, mental health professionals, neurodiversity coaches, certified Forest Therapy Practitioners, and movement and wellbeing specialists. Every session is grounded in clinical expertise and the proven psychological and physical benefits of being outdoors.

We also advocate for families navigating education and neurodiversity challenges, working directly with schools to help identify needs and communicate options for additional SEN support.

Whether you're a tradesperson, teacher, parent, or business owner, we believe everyone deserves access to effective, holistic mental health support — delivered with professionalism, compassion, and a deep connection to nature.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can nature therapy help improve mental wellbeing?

Combining the healing power of nature with therapeutic support is a winning combination for mental and emotional wellbeing. Nature therapy helps reduce stress by lowering cortisol levels, heart rate, and blood pressure. Immersing yourself in natural environments activates the parasympathetic nervous system — the body’s rest-and-restore mode — which naturally calms the mind and body.

 

Regular time in nature, even in short bursts, has been shown to improve mood, enhance sleep, increase focus, and build emotional resilience. When this natural grounding is combined with evidence-based therapy, it creates the perfect environment for reflection, recovery, and lasting personal growth.

Do I need a referral from a GP or can I self-refer to your services?

You can self-refer anytime — no GP needed. We also accept referrals from GPs, schools, social prescribers, and other professionals.

What should I expect during a typical ecotherapy session?

Sessions take place in calming natural spaces and are tailored to your needs. It might involve walking, sitting, talking, or engaging in simple nature-based activities, all designed to help you feel grounded, safe, and supported.

“I’ve worked with therapists in a traditional setting indoors before, but it's helped me to truly see the value of being in nature — it’s been a refreshing and grounding experience.”
