Outdoor Therapy in Grenoside Woods, Sheffield

Therapy, but not in a room

There are times when sitting opposite someone in a therapy room can feel too much — or simply not quite right.

Outdoor therapy offers another way.

We walk side by side, or sit amongst the trees, allowing the work to unfold with a little more space around it.

Why outdoors?

Something often shifts when we step outside.

Being in Grenoside Woods offers:

• A sense of space when things feel stuck

• Gentle grounding, without any expectation to keep moving

• Permission to pause, stop, sit, or walk — entirely at your pace

• A less formal, more human way of being together

We don’t analyse the environment — but we might notice what stands out, what you’re drawn to, or what feels difficult to be with.

How sessions work

Sessions take place in Grenoside Woods and are shaped around you.

This isn’t about fitness or covering distance.

We move slowly, take breaks, or stay in one place — whatever feels right for you on the day.

We might:

• Walk a little, then stop

• Sit for most (or all) of the session

• Adjust pace moment by moment

There’s no expectation on your body, energy, or ability.

Who this might suit

Outdoor therapy can feel like a better fit if:

• You find it easier to talk when you’re not being directly looked at

• You feel overwhelmed, stuck, or mentally busy

• You want something less clinical and more grounded

• You have a baby with you
