We are offering a pathway towards three levels of certification.
Human-Nature Counselling Nature-Based Therapy Certification is a professional development program for mental health practitioners who would like to incorporate nature-based interventions into their work with clients. This program consists of a combination of online and in-person courses, pre-course reading and reflection/practice exercises, group and individual consultation, practitioner-client hours, presentation of client work, and assisting with introductory courses.
All previous training completed with Human-Nature Counselling Society can be applied to the levels of certification. Training and consultations can be completed within less than a year for each level of certification or can be spread out over multiple years.
“I highly recommend the Level 1 certification if you are interested in, or already a Nature-based Therapist. I worked at it at my own pace and was guided and supported along the way. The group consult, the in-person courses, and the final presentation all helped me fine tune my skills and feel more competent as a nature-based counsellor. The trainers and supervisors at Human Nature are top notch- very kind, skilled, and helpful. NBT is such a niche, and highly necessary therapy modality right now, and Human Nature Counselling helps folks learn and feel confident to provide this vitally important outdoor therapy. My practice is more vibrant, easier, and more skilled from doing the Level 1 certification!”
