Nature is an incomparable guide if you know how to follow her. She is like the needle of the compass pointing to the North. (Jung)
Learning and growing with nature opens us up to incredible new insights, perspectives and ideas which are applicable both personally and professionally. It is natural for us to be adaptable, empathetic resourceful, and creative, and this is how we are at our best. In times of stress and anxiety knowing how to tune into the natural environment is priceless. Connecting deeply with nature gives us great solace, an opportunity to access wellness and healing, and an increased ability to meet life’s challenges.
At Guided By Nature we offer opportunities to experience an eco-psychological approach to personal therapy, professional development and artistic practice. These services are grounded in a career of working in mental health services and three years vocational training in eco-psychology and nature-based practice at the Natural Academy.

“I have found the sessions with Caroline helpful to work out where I want to head next in my life. The mindfulness practised in the sessions, and that I have been able to continue with her support outside of sessions, has helped me find a calm place from which to think about what I want to do, and to feel grounded and secure. It has supported me in various areas of my life, including my career plans. “
“For me, Caroline is helping me connect to what I might tentatively call the wisdom of the natural world.
I find benefit in slowing down, reaching for authenticity in how I might choose to contribute to the world. I find the release of energy that comes with this enables me to be move out into the world from a more centred way.
Caroline is a gentle intuitive skilled guide. She uses powerful questions within a flexible framework. Kind and patient, yet supporting development and accountability. “
