The scarcity of Speech and Language Therapists has finally been raised in the media. Let's hope that this will result in more funding and enable us to support everyone to communicate!

New figures show demand for speech and language therapists is increasing in Scotland.

I’m excited to see some research into supporting teenagers. I’ll be explaining the positive impact of nature connection and outdoor therapy. 😊

Research about Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is taking off!
This request is for UK Speech and Language Therapists only.

It is such a joy to take my therapy outdoors, boosting mental health and well being through connection with nature.

At The Therapy Adventure, we are working toward a future where the outdoors becomes a central part of mental health care, education, and well-being.

Our goal is to reshape the way we support people—by bringing them back to nature and providing humanising and accessible therapeutic support. By reconnecting people with nature, we can break down barriers to therapeutic support, reduce stigma, and create therapeutic spaces that feel safe, normal, and humanising.

That’s why we train therapists, educators, and mental health professionals to use the power of outdoor spaces through our Certified Outdoor Therapist and Certified Outdoor Mental Health Practitioner courses.

A lovely update from a family I worked with in 2018:

Hi Kate. We have spoken about you recently and wanted to message you. You spent many hours online with H. You were way ahead of the crowd using Zoom before COVID!
H was diagnosed with autism after many years of poor attendance at school. H is now nearly 6ft tall and will be 14 in July. He speaks so eloquently and clearly now (albeit with an American accent) and even sings in the school choir. H is doing so well at school and selected subjects to aid him to go to university to study gaming and creating computer games.

Thank you so very much for your input and individual care.
