Psychotherapist, Dr. Ruth Allen, explains how outdoor counselling works. She takes Clare Balding on a walk near Holloway in Derbyshire to discuss the healing power of walking & talking.
In this series of Ramblings, Clare Balding is exploring the impact that walking in nature can have on our inner lives. She’s been up Glastonbury Tor with Druids, walked the Wilberforce Way with a Methodist minister and been on retreat in Winchester. Today she discovers the difference it can make to people when a therapy room is swapped for the natural world.
