What Is Outdoor Therapy?
Outdoor therapy involves walking and talking in a quiet, safe outdoor setting such as a park in London. The session is structured but flexible, allowing conversations to flow more naturally.
Being outdoors can reduce pressure, making it easier to open up—especially for men who may find face-to-face settings intense.
