Counselling Research Award Winner 2023 - Talk with me outside by Elaine Moore

We’re very pleased to announce Elaine Moore as the winner of the 2023 CPCAB Counselling Research Award Winner for her paper '‘Talk with me outside’ Therapists’ experiences of the therapeutic relationship in natural outdoor settings: A qualitative study.
This qualitative research is about the psychotherapeutic relationship and the possibilities that arise when therapy is taken outdoors and into public spaces for example parks, footpaths, and community gardens. The aim is to better understand the experiences of therapists who have gone outside with their clients. The paper highlights several key findings and suggests when taking therapy outside the psychotherapeutic relationship is enhanced and contributes to the well-being of both practitioner and client.

That is very powerful working with clients outside. I have heard of a therapist taking a big umbrella in the rain and sitting in park benches with clients .
