Natured Therapy

About

I'm Kaytie, a qualified Psychotherapist & Counsellor, registered with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA). In 2026, I brought Natured Therapy to life, inspired by my passion for supporting mental health & wellbeing and my deep love of nature. During my psychotherapeutic training, I studied Ecotherapy and discovered its transformative ability to restore balance and connection.

I offer Ecotherapy for individuals, groups, and corporate clients, facilitating nature-reconnection to support psychological health & wellbeing. This approach integrates various nature-based interventions with therapeutic modalities.

Ecotherapy opens the therapeutic space to the natural world, inviting you to reconnect with nature and experience the numerous health benefits that this practice offers.

I guide this reconnection, but it is the intrinsic healing power of nature itself that lies at the heart of the therapeutic experience.

GrOUP ECOTHERAPY Course

At times, life can feel challenging, overwhelming, and stressful.

We often find ourselves moving restlessly from one task to the next, without space in between to pause, breathe, and simply be present.

Ecotherapy invites you to slow down, to take a break from the screens, and to reconnect with life itself.

6 Week Group Ecotherapy Course

The 6-week Group Ecotherapy Course offers a supportive and immersive experience in nature, with weekly 75-minute sessions and a maximum of 10 participants. The course runs multiple times throughout the year. These experiential sessions weave together various nature-based interventions to help calm the nervous system, restore balance, and gently guide you back into the present moment, opening the door to a newfound sense of calm and clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact kaytie.naturedtherapy@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What is Ecotherapy?

Ecotherapy, which is often referred to as 'green therapy' or 'nature therapy', is the practice of developing a healthy, reciprocal relationship with the natural world to support healing, restore balance, and nurture growth.

Ecotherapy is often used as an umbrella term which can include forest therapy, wilderness therapy, horticultural therapy, animal-assisted therapy, adventure therapy and ecotherapy counselling/walk & talk.

Is Ecotherapy evidence based?

Nature-based healing practices are supported by numerous scientific studies and a growing body of research, highlighting the restorative effects and healing potential of ecotherapeutic interventions.

How can Ecotherapy help the planet?

As we begin to reconnect with nature and experience the many health benefits that emerge, we often start to develop - or reawaken - a sense of care and responsibility for the natural world. This renewed connection can inspire more environmentally conscious behaviours, encouraging people to protect ecosystems, conserve resources, and advocate for the planet's wellbeing. In this way, ecotherapy not only supports individual healing but can also help the planet to heal as well.

What might an Individual Ecotherapy session look like?

Individual Ecotherapy can take the form of walk & talk therapy where we engage in traditional talk therapy while immersed in nature. It can also involve a more intentional immersive nature-based experience, incorporating sensory grounding techniques and various other mindfulness exercises to support deeper reconnection with the natural world and enhance psychological health and wellbeing. Many sessions blend both approaches. Every experience is tailored to your needs and goals - you remain in control of the pace, focus, and direction of each session.

What should I bring to the sessions?

It's important to ensure that you come prepared for Ecotherapy so that you can protect yourself from sunburn, stay hydrated, and get the most out of the sessions. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you wear appropriate clothing and bring the following:

- A bottle of water

- Sunscreen

- Sun hat

- Sunglasses

- Clothing that is appropriate for the weather and will offer protection from the sun or rain

- Closed-toe & comfortable footwear

- Any additional necessities (e.g., inhaler, EpiPen)

What happens if it rains?

Experiencing the benefits and beauty of reconnecting with nature involves being open to the elements and learning to adapt to the environment. Therefore, sessions will go ahead in wet weather where conditions do not pose a safety risk, so we ask that you come prepared for wet weather by wearing appropriate clothing. However, in the event of severe weather—such as torrential rain, lightning, or extreme heat—the session will be cancelled.

In this case, for Group Ecotherapy, you will be offered either a refund for that session only or the option to attend one of our quarterly Ecotherapy Sessions.

For Individual Ecotherapy sessions & Corporate Ecotherapy sessions, where severe weather is present, you will be offered the option to reschedule or given a refund if you have already paid and choose not to reschedule.

What qualifications do you have?

I am registered with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA), and I hold the following qualifications:

- Bachelor of Counselling & Psychotherapy

- Professional Graduate Certificate in Education

- Relaxation, Meditation & Mindfulness Teacher Training Course

- First Aid Certificate (HLTAID011-Provide First Aid)
