Nature-based therapies and outdoor learning experiences that support confidence, improve wellbeing and increase resilience .

​Outdoor Wellbeing & Learning That Helps Children Thrive!

​

At Wild N Well Outdoors, we provide a specialised hybrid service that brings together outdoor learning, therapeutic wellbeing support and nature-based experiences to help children and young people thrive. Working alongside schools, parents and community partners, we create safe, nurturing outdoor environments where children can build confidence, resilience and develop meaningful connections with themselves, others and the natural world.​​​

​

Our approach is grounded in trauma-informed and evidence-based practice, shaped by professional experience in youth work, counselling and bushcraft, . This unique combination allows us to support children and young people in ways that are both developmentally informed and deeply engaging, using the outdoors as a powerful space for learning, reflection and personal growth.

​

Our programmes can be particularly beneficial for those with SEND and SEMH needs, offering a calmer, flexible environment that supports emotional regulation, social development and positive engagement with learning. At the same time, we recognise that many children—regardless of identified needs—benefit greatly from opportunities to step away from various pressures, reconnect with nature and develop life skills through practical outdoor experiences.

​

The Micro-Adventure Philosophy

​

Central to our work is Micro-Adventure Therapy, a concept developed through our practice that uses small, achievable outdoor adventures closer to home to support wellbeing, confidence and self-discovery. Through activities such as shelter building, fire lighting, exploration and nature-based challenges, children experience moments of success, connection and calm that can have a lasting impact on their sense of capability and belonging.

​

At Wild N Well Outdoors, we transform a space—to a place where everyone can feel supported, discover their strengths and grow in their own way.

Working with Wild N’ Well Outdoors has been transformative for our school. The intervention has significantly reduced the number of children on our SEND register for SEMH needs, as the outdoor experiences provide a safe, nurturing environment enabling our children to thrive. We’ve seen children’s confidence flourish—pupils who were once withdrawn now approach challenges with excitement and curiosity. The sessions spark a genuine love for learning beyond the classroom.

​

Luke’s fantastic work and the relationships he builds with the children are at the heart of this success. His ability to connect, inspire, and create trust ensures every child feels valued and supported. Wild N’ Well Outdoors has become an integral part of our approach to wellbeing and engagement, and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough
