Getting to Know Them

What drew you to us? What made you feel like this might be the right placement for you?

What kind of therapist are you becoming? How would you describe your style or way of working so far?

Tell me about a time you felt really connected to nature. What was going on for you?

What does community mean to you, and how do you see therapy playing a role in that?

How do you imagine therapy changing when it's taken outdoors?

What excites you most - and what feels most challenging - about working in nature with clients?

We often get cold, wet, or windswept. How do you feel about that?

This work can be slow and subtle. Can you think of a time you stayed with something that unfolded gradually?

What helps you stay grounded when things feel emotionally heavy?

We’re small and collaborative - everyone mucks in. What kind of team roles do you naturally fall into?

If you had a free half-day to plan a wellbeing or nature-based activity for the community, what would you do?
