About Us
At Earth Wisdom, our mission is to:
1. Provide Accessible, Inclusive, Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy
We are dedicated to offering high-quality, inclusive therapy that supports mental health, emotional resilience, and personal growth. Our work is neurodiversity-affirming, recognising and valuing different ways of thinking, feeling, sensing, and relating to the world.
Whether in nature or in a more traditional setting, we offer people genuine choice in how they engage with therapy. While nature-based approaches are central to our ethos, we understand that healing is not one-size-fits-all. Every person’s experience is unique, and every therapeutic path is welcomed and respected here.
2. Break Down Financial Barriers
We believe that access to mental health support should never be limited by income. Through funding, community partnerships, and volunteer-led support, we offer reduced-cost counselling to help ensure that people can access therapy when they need it most, regardless of their financial circumstances.
3. Foster a Supportive, Community-Rooted Network of Care
At Earth Wisdom, we believe healing is nurtured through connection - to self, to others, and for many, to the natural world. We create spaces that are compassionate, welcoming, and responsive, where people feel seen, heard, and supported as they are.
Through one-to-one therapy, group work, and shared experiences in nature, we aim to grow a community where difference is honoured, relationships matter, and people can heal, grow, and thrive - together.

What Earth Wisdom CIC Means To US
Earth Wisdom Ecotherapy Community Interest Company was created from a deep belief that healing doesn’t happen in isolation - it happens in relationship: with each other, with the land, and with ourselves.
As a not-for-profit, our work is rooted in, community, inclusivity, and accessibility. The CIC allows us to offer reduced-cost counselling, ecotherapy sessions, and group therapy for those who might otherwise be excluded from support. It’s our way of making space - for voices that often go unheard, for gentler ways of healing, and for those who find strength in the natural world.
We see the CIC as a living thing. It grows with the seasons, with the people involved, and with the needs of the community it serves. Whether you’re attending a workshop, accessing reduced-cost counselling, or walking alongside us as a volunteer, you are part of that story.
As we continue to grow, so does our community of practitioners, volunteers and partners. If you share our values and are passionate about creating accessible, nature-connected mental health support, we'd love to hear from you. Whether you're looking to join our counselling team, facilitate groups, volunteer your time or become part of our wider community, we welcome people who want to help shape a kinder, more connected future.

Join Us
Earth Wisdom exists because of the people who choose to be part of it.
As a Community Interest Company, our ability to offer reduced-cost and funded counselling depends on the generosity, commitment, and professionalism of our counsellors. Without this contribution, much of our work supporting those who would otherwise be unable to access therapy simply would not be possible.
By joining Earth Wisdom, you are helping to make therapy possible for those who need it most. You are part of a living, evolving community that is committed to making mental health support more accessible, compassionate, and inclusive.
If you feel called to be part of this work, we would love to hear from you.
