This week, two moments really stood out to me with therapy outside.
A client and I were walking, talking about feeling stuck in life. Wondering if it was the universe’s sign to give up a dream they were pursuing.
As we noticed our pace, the way we slowed down, the pauses between us, it mirrored exactly what was happening inside.
The outside world became a kind of parallel process; the space, the air, even the uneven ground helped us both make sense of what “stuck” really felt like and what it might mean to move again.
Later in the week, a supervisee chose to have their session outside too. It rained - but we both had wellies and boots on so it gave us this permission to just put our hoods up and move at some pace! There was something so grounding and safe about it.
The sound of rain softened the edges of our words. There was no rush, no performance.
Just two people walking together, thinking, reflecting. Pausing for little moments where we noticed what was coming up in between us.
By the time we looped back to where we started, we both noticed how the conversation, like the walk, had unfolded naturally.
What began heavy had somehow found space to breathe.
That’s the quiet power of being outside.
It’s therapy (or supervision!) that moves with you…. sometimes literally, and it often finds its own rhythm before you even notice it’s happening.
🌧️ Sometimes, it’s not about the conditions being perfect. It’s about realising you can still find clarity, grounding, and safety 🌧️ even in the rain.
