ObjectiveTalking therapy can be highly effective when located outdoors. However, much of the previous research has centred around counselling and psychotherapy professions. This study aimed to explore the attitudes and experiences of clinical psychologists.DesignA cross-sectional survey was used to gain a broad perspective.Method215 participants completed the survey between August and October 2021. Efforts were made to ensure a varied and representative sample located across the UK and comprising mixed interests and experiences. The survey included measures of nature connection, experiences and attitudes towards outdoor practice, as well as variables underpinning The Theory of Planned Behaviour. Analysis included descriptive, correlational and multiple regression.ResultsThe findings outlined a marked increase in outdoor practice, with 34% (N = 74) having experienced outdoor working prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, whereas during the pandemic, this number had nearly doubled to 64% (N = 137). The majority held outdoor appointments in public parks (64%) and engaged in sitting (81%) or light walking (86%). The main reasons for offering therapy outdoors were client engagement and behavioural activation and the main barriers were confidentiality and access to outdoor spaces. Significant, positive predictors of outdoor practice included years qualified, nature connectedness, outdoor leisure time, instrumental attitudes, perceived norms, and self-efficacy.ConclusionThe findings reveal favourable attitudes and a growing community of clinical psychologists who practice outdoors.
