Nature Based Therapy is a holistic and relational approach to wellbeing, inviting reconnection with oneself, others, and the living world — as a pathway to healing, resilience, and authentic living. Founded by Kit Kline.
What is Nature Based Therapy?
Nature Based Therapy is a holistic and relational approach to wellbeing that recognises humans as part of the natural world, not separate from it.
By reconnecting with nature, we create opportunities for emotional regulation, reflection, creativity, and healing. The rhythms of nature — seasons, cycles, growth, rest — offer powerful metaphors and practical pathways for supporting mental health, personal development, and community wellbeing.
Nature Based Therapy may include practices such as nature connection, mindful observation, creative reflection, outdoor therapeutic activities, and integrating the wisdom of the natural world into counselling, coaching, education, and wellbeing practices.
Founded by Kit Kline, Nature Based Therapy brings together over two decades of experience in counselling, social work, holistic health, and nature-based practice.
