Nature has proven to be one of the most vital tools in creating impressionable, effective psychology sessions. Here at Psychology Cove Maroochydore, we’ve found that most clients feel more relaxed when sessions take place outdoors in a neutral environment – facilitating mindfulness, joy, creativity, and concentration. Being surrounded by nature as beautiful as that on the Sunshine Coast provides a unique enrichment to standard counselling sessions.

A less clinical and intimidating setting
Sitting in an enclosed office space can be very intimidating for many – especially when it comes to counselling. It can make clients feel trapped, pressured, and anxious, which is why we aim to have our sessions in a space where our clients feel most comfortable. Whether they’re in our office, in clients’ homes, or outdoors – we strive to tailor every session to your needs.
Children can use playgrounds to feel more comfortable
Here at Psychology Cove Maroochydore, we have overwhelmingly found that children make the most breakthroughs in settings away from the office in the space ‘where they are at.’ A space they know and enjoy, rather than an office they feel no connection to.
Whether playing with them on the playground or using finger puppets and toys – there are many options we embrace to make kids experience counselling as comfortable, and most importantly fun!
Other Benefits of Outdoor Sessions:
- Time out from your day-to-day routine
- Increases Physical Health
- Introduces safe spaces, where you can re-connect with the session.
- Increases connection to nature via parks, beaches or even backyards
- A productive approach to therapy
- Fresh air helps does wonders, especially if breathing exercises help you unwind.
- Less ‘Textbook’ Counselling
- Gorgeous Maroochydore views
- Flexible to your needs and routine
- And so much more.
At Psychology Cove Maroochydore, we understand that counselling is an incredibly unique and personal experience, which is why we strive to individualise each session to the needs of the client. No matter the setting, pace, or activities; we aim to provide fulfilling sessions that help clients feel confident, calm, and comfortable. Therefore, if we feel that our patients will benefit from outdoor counselling sessions instead of our office, we will work with them to find a suitable location.
