Counselling in Nature
Embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing with Mind Body Nature, where nature connection is used to journey within. Our approach to mental wellness is designed for individuals seeking stress relief, personal growth, and a deeper connection with themselves.
Personalised Counselling in Nature for Your Unique Path
We believe in the power of the natural world as a catalyst for change. Led by a seasoned social worker with extensive experience in nature therapy, our sessions are more than just conversations; they are transformative experiences.
Our program begins with a 'walk and talk' session in a serene park setting, a gentle entry into a world where your mental well-being is our priority.
As your journey unfolds, we tailor the therapy to your needs, exploring different natural settings that resonate with your personal growth journey
Nature therapy works differently
Each session is a step towards rediscovering your inner peace and strength. Our therapy is particularly effective for those who seek an alternative to traditional therapy methods.
If you've found comfort in physical activities but haven't achieved the transformative experience you seek in traditional therapy, Mind Body Nature opens a new avenue for healing and finding your rhythm.
Our program fosters a deep sense of connection, helping you feel more attuned to yourself and the world around you. We do this by integrating mindfulness and movement into our nature therapy sessions, offering a experience that engages both body and mind.
About Us
Olivia (Liv) Carter
Hello! I’m Olivia, the founder of Mind Body Nature. My journey into the world of nature therapy began with a blend of professional insight and a personal passion for nature connection. Mind Body Nature was created from a need to find a better way to support wholistic and lifelong change.
As a trained social worker I have had the privilege of working with women and their children, families, youth and with various groups. I have additional qualifications and experience in the areas of Developmental Trauma, Early Childhood Development, Outdoor Recreation and Bush Adventure Therapy. I had worked many years supporting families within the traditional frameworks and felt something was missing. When I started providing therapy outdoors I realised the missing piece was Nature!
The use of nature for healing and change is not new and has been used by indigenous people around the world for thousands of years. I have been witness to the power of immersing oneself in nature, in the openness it affords and in its ability to hold big emotions. I have spent the last 4 years exploring all things Nature Therapy and undertaking my own adventures of self discovery in the Australian Bush. I have also had the honor of developing and running an NDIS funded Bush Adventure Therapy group program. Through these experiences I discovered what is possible when in partnership with Nature.
The vision for Mind Body Nature goes beyond individual therapy sessions. It’s about creating a community where mental well-being is nurtured in partnership with nature. Whether you’re looking for a breath of fresh air in your therapeutic journey or a new way to connect with yourself, I am here to guide you.
Together, at Mind Body Nature, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing with an understanding of the Mind Body Nature connection that is deeply embedded in all of us.
