About Beth
“I feel at home in nature; it makes my heart sing and I feel at peace. I love being in silent conversation with the trees, the birds, just listening and watching. Sometimes you catch something of the knowledge being shared; it feels a blessing to be part of it.”


As a therapist I work exclusively in natural settings, working in allegiance with nature to explore our emotional worlds. I have theorised our relationships with nature from an applied psychotherapeutic perspective, developing Nature Allied Psychotherapy as a modality of practice for ongoing client work. I’m currently writing Nature Allied Psychotherapy: Exploring Relationships with our Self, Others and Nature to be published by Routledge. I provide professional training for psychotherapists and well-being professionals on the therapeutic use of nature through the Nature Therapy School.
As a naturalist and bushcraft practitioner I have an interest in traditional ecological knowledge and ethnopsychology. I have a life long passion for nature stemming from a rural upbringing. I’m happiest in the woods, listening to the nuthatch and the crackle of the fire, absorbing all that is going on around me. I love sharing an ancestral gaze for perceiving the world around us, some favourite ways of being include natural navigation, forgaing, tracking and basketry. I have experience of wilderness living in Scotland and Sweden. I have a certificate in Advanced Wilderness First Aid.
