One-to-One Intensive Adventure Therapy

Wild Sky programmes are the cornerstone of our adventure therapy approach.

Wild Sky is a programme of therapeutic intervention delivered in buildable blocks of 6 or 12 sessions. Each session is up to 4 hours in natural blue and green spaces. The participant meets with their Adventure Therapist, Philip or Jasmin, for each session.
We have a range of activity options on land and water, and lots of tasks, challenges and experiences to select from to suit the participant.

We build the programme for the individual participant. Each activity, task, and setting on sessions is selected to enhance the experience for the participant towards fostering engagement and building trust in the space.

We don’t set out to push participants to their ‘limits’ or out of their ‘comfort zone’. The aim is to lay down foundations of a safe space so that talk therapy can emerge if and when the participant is ready.

Our Wild Sky programmes tend to appeal to people seeking, or in need of, therapeutic work who are reluctant to engage in ‘traditional’ or group-based therapy.

Through the Wild Sky programme, a range of transferable skills and strategies for life, self-care, and resilience are explored, and participants draw on those that appeal to them to adopt into their personal ‘toolkit’ for the future.
