At Brickwork Therapeutic Counselling I also offer outdoor therapy sessions. These can be held at a number of locations within the area. These locations have been chosen specifically, and risk assessments have been completed in all four seasons of the year.

This is a relatively new and exciting way to work therapeutically. For many clients and their personalities this is the most ideal way to work. It is available all year round, in all weathers unless it is unsafe to do so.

In the unlikely event of this happening, the client will be offered a session in the therapy office or the opportunity to reschedule. During an outdoor session myself and the client will typically use the natural environment to support therapeutic change.

Being outdoors can give a whole different perspective on problems and issues individual clients may be experiencing. There is a specific outdoors contract for this type of counselling.

Whilst this is a wonderful type of therapy it is in the outdoors and public spaces. So there is greater risk of seeing others you may know. This is covered in the contract however, so please ask if you’d like to know more.

It is both the clients and counsellors responsibility individually to dress appropriately for the weather and conditions that may change at short notice.
