Nature Therapy Online (Ecotherapy Podcast)

In episode 12 of the Nature Therapy Online podcast, we talk about how powerful the sound of birds can be. The idea for this episode was sent to me by Deirdre from Long Island, USA, and I thought it was a wonderful idea for an episode! Today I start by talking a little about birds, and reflecting on the potential therapeutic effects of the sounds they make, whether singing, cooing, tooting or crawing! We listen to various different birds whilst I offer you gentle invitations to reflect on their effect on you.

Episode 11: Stephanie Whitelaw Interview

In episode 11 of Nature Therapy Online, I interview the wonderful ecotherapist Stephanie Whitelaw about her work with art and nature.

In this week’s episode, I have a treat for your ears! Stephanie Whitelaw is an artist and ecotherapist who lives and works in Edinburgh, Scotland. She is involved with a series of fascinating projects which weave together art, therapy and nature in some very interesting and beautiful ways.

Stephanie is a good friend of mine. We trained as ecotherapists together with the Tariki Trust and I have always been inspired by her calm and gentle approach to working with nature. She is such a genuine person as well as being a wonderful talent who weaves creativity and nature together in a really accessible way. The interview was a lot of fun—and really moving at times, too.

Andy McGeeney has been promoting nature as therapy for years, from back when few people in the mental health world were willing to consider the benefits of nature as therapy.

In this week’s ecotherapy podcast, Andy shares the story of his unique journey with mental health and nature, as well as sharing some beautiful nature therapy exercises that you can try for yourself at home. I’m sure you will find him as inspiring as I do!
