Become An EcoSensory Practitioner 

‘Sowing the Seeds’: Introductory Webinar to EcoSensory Therapy

Discover how nature can be your co-facilitator in supporting the development, health, and wellbeing of those you work with.

Are you a health, social care or education professional? Do you love spending time in nature? Do you want to combine your skillset with the knowledge and confidence to work with your clients outdoors (children, families, adults, groups)?

In this webinar, we will reveal the evidence and neuroscience into the regulating and transformative power of working with nature. Explore our training opportunities to take your nature-based practice further!

‘growing Roots’: Online Practitioner Training

Join our ‘Growing Roots’ Online Practitioner Training and be part of our growing community of practitioners!

Our ‘Growing Roots’ training is designed to give you the necessary knowledge, foundations and skills to safely move your practice into nature. This course has been carefully crafted and designed to provide you with strong ‘roots’ to grow your nature-based practice. It is ideal for those who cannot join us for our “In Leaf” training.

The course is 12 lessons long and has more than 25 hours of mixed-media learning material to suit diverse learning styles. We encourage you to follow along week-by-week but you can follow along at your own pace in a way that suits your learning needs and lifestyle. You will have lifetime access to this course.

As part of the Growing Roots training,  you will have free student membership for 12 months. As part of your membership, we invite you to monthly check-ins with the tutors. The check-ins are ‘connection-rich’ rather than ‘content-rich’ and are optional to attend. They will be run by our team of EcoSensory Tutors (Co-Founders and Clinical Leads in the field of Clinical Psychology and Occupational Therapy)

On completion of the training, practitioners may call their nature-based work ‘EcoSensory Informed Practice’.

‘In Leaf’: Immersive Practicum

Join us for a three day immersive training in the great outdoors. Put into practice everything you learnt in the ‘Growing Roots’ Online Practitioner Training to develop your confidence in using the EcoSensory Therapy model of practice.
