INDIVIDUAL CONSULTATION WITH AMY

ECO-COUNSELLING AND WALK-AND-TALK THERAPY

Are you a therapist seeking to integrate nature-based approaches into your practice? Join me for personalized consultation sessions exploring the restorative potential of eco-counseling and walk-and-talk therapy. Together, we will navigate the nuances of facilitating these modalities with cultural humility and sensitivity.

For non-Indigenous clients, we will delve into harnessing the healing properties of the natural world, fostering a deeper connection with the environment, and cultivating a sense of grounding and presence through outdoor sessions.

When working with Indigenous clients, we will honour traditional ecological knowledge, exploring ways to respectfully incorporate land-based practices, storytelling, and sacred practices that promote holistic well-being and cultural continuity.

Whether you are new to these approaches or seeking to deepen your understanding, these consultation sessions offer a supportive space to explore best practices, address challenges, and develop strategies tailored to your unique client populations. Individual consultation services are available on a flexible basis with no minimum commitment.
