AND RISK
Practical Considerations for Outdoor Therapy
-
Levels of fitness and outdoor experience - we can discuss suitable locations and terrain
-
Any physical challenges which might impact your walking - we can make any necessary amendments, including accessible walk options
-
Having suitable clothing for changing weather and temperatures.
-
See the AdventureSmart website for details
-
-
Wearing suitable footwear for changing terrain
-
Being aware of confidentiality when passing other walkers
-
What we would do if we meet someone you or I know - we will discuss this in advance
-
Being aware of traffic on country lanes
-
Having the time to decompress at the end of the session before driving home
-
If we are unable to meet outdoors - due to adverse weather or medical reasons - we would normally agree to conduct the session online instead
Acknowledging Risk
By booking an Outdoor Therapy session, you are acknowledging that outdoor activities involve risk. As a therapist, I am there to accompany you and will do all I can to minimise the risks, but you acknowledge that nevertheless, risks do remain and that you accept these risks.
