“It helped me move forward. It helped me move on, helped me find a bit of peace being able to talk to somebody separate to my family.'
A novel partnership is harnessing the therapeutic power of nature to offer bereavement counselling on long walks at a country estate.
The partnership has flourished since then, with four Marie Curie counsellors now using the beautiful gardens at Mount Stewart as the backdrop for therapy walks. “We probably did it for about a year on a monthly basis, just coming and spending an hour or two hours walking and talking and it allowed me to tell what I wanted to tell without being with family.
“I couldn’t have done this looking at somebody in an office or in an environment where you’re having a cup of coffee. For me, it’s the outdoors, being able to walk alongside somebody and talking to them, instead of just sitting in an environment staring face-to-face.” “Normally we would have worked in the hospice, we would have met our bereaved family members in the counselling rooms in the hospice,” she said.
