Space for your soul to breathe.
A Fresh & Organic Approach to Therapy
In many ways we have lost our connection with nature and I believe it’s an important connection to restore if we are to avert both the climate & mental health crises we find ourselves in. I believe in the power of nature combined with professional therapy to heal & transform. We incorporate this into the therapeutic framework.
My vision is to create spaces where people can re-connect to nature, re-connect to themselves & re-connect to others.
Wild Therapy Offerings
One-One Outdoor Therapy
In-person, this is designed for individuals to process and explore their thoughts whilst out in nature. I also offer counselling sessions online or by phone. Typically, sessions are weekly or bi-weekly.
1hr | £40 | Book a session
Block of 6 sessions | £220 | Book a block
Wild Swim Session
In-person, this time will be spent bracing the cold waters, practicing breath work and immersing yourself in the wild sea. Research has shown that resilience can be built when we step beyond our physical comfort zones. A wild swim session does just that.

Rewilded Retreats
I offer guided Rewilded Retreats based in nature with time for silence, solitude and self-reflection as well as time for connection with others and the option of a wild swim or dip in a river. Most of these involve low level walks and if we head to the mountains I work with experienced & qualified Mountain Leaders to guide us safely in the mountains. We can tailor these retreats to meet your needs and level of fitness. Our Rewilded Retreats are more about being immersed in the wild than they are about conquering mountain peaks. We have worked with corporates, churches, families and individuals.
Half day | £50pp | Book a Rewilded Retreat
Full day | £100pp | Book a Rewilded Retreat
Pilgrimages
For those interested in carving out a longer space of time for themselves to journey on a walking pilgrimage. We offer guided walking pilgrimages. I have experience of walking the Rota Vicentina (The Fisherman’s Trail) in Portugal, the Portuguese Camino & the Kerry Camino in Ireland.
Prices will vary depending on the pilgrimage. These are tailored to you/your groups requirements.

Oh hello, I’m so glad you’re here!
My name is Ellie Hobson, I’m an integrative counsellor, creative, writer, entrepreneur, daughter, sister, auntie and friend…but mostly, I'm like you, a person navigating how to be in this wild and precious life. (Mary Oliver)
I created Wild Therapy as an expression of my love for people, for transformation and for how vital a part nature can play in this.
My most important work is to make space for your soul to breath. I do this by offering one-one outdoor therapy, Rewilded Retreats & Pilgrimages.
As a qualified & experienced integrative counsellor, it is a privilege to have the opportunity to be a walking companion with you on your journey. I’m a listener by nature and believe that everyone needs a listening ear to bear witness to both our joys and our sorrows.
I also publish a weekly-ish Sunday newsletter called the Wild Times - it’s my little writing space within my small and beautiful outdoor therapy organisation. You can sign up to this here.
