What is Adventure, Nature & Forest Therapy?
Adventure, Nature & Forest Therapy can be applied as a specific therapeutic modality or as a complementary method to promote, maintain, and restore mental health.
It is highly effective in building and sustaining resilience, supporting clients through embodied, nature-based experiences that enhance self-awareness, regulation, and connection.
As a holistic and experiential approach, it works in and with diverse natural environments — from mountains and forests to rivers and coastlines.
Through Adventure, Nature & Forest Therapy methods and interventions, therapeutic settings are supported, enriched, or independently designed, depending on the client’s needs and therapeutic goals.
Therapeutic competence, context, and process depth are key features that distinguish Adventure, Nature & Forest Therapy from purely educational or recreational approaches, ensuring professional integrity and evidence-based practice.
