Devana Therapies (Buckler's Park)

Devana Therapies offers counselling, ecotherapy and nature-based therapy appointments in Crowthorne and Uxbridge, with bookings made through this page. The practice is run by Katarina, a qualified nature-based therapist, counsellor and group facilitator. Bookable individual assessments include Individual (1-2-1) Outdoor Counselling Assessment, Individual (1-2-1) Ecotherapy Assessment and Individual (1-2-1) Indoor Counselling Assessment.

Katarina works with people seeking one-to-one support for anxiety, low mood, overwhelm, feeling stuck or unfulfilled, uncertainty about direction, disconnection, and grounding or emotional regulation needs, including ADHD presentations. Individual ecotherapy takes place outdoors, with nature forming part of the therapeutic setting. Outdoor counselling involves walking or sitting in natural spaces. Individual support can also be offered online, and unsafe weather may mean an outdoor session moves online or is rescheduled.

Trauma therapy is part of the offer. This is body-aware and trauma-informed, drawing on Judith Herman's tri-phasic model of establishing safety, exploring the story of what happened, and supporting reconnection with self, others and the wider world. Sessions can include body-based awareness, grounding practices, nature-supported regulation and EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, for emotional regulation and trauma recovery. Areas named by Devana Therapies include trauma that still feels alive in the body, anxiety, panic, emotional overwhelm, childhood trauma, relational wounds, chronic stress, burnout and long-term tension.

Group work includes Morning Group Ecotherapy, Lunchtime Group Ecotherapy and Afternoon Group Ecotherapy drop-in sessions. Group ecotherapy is a weekly outdoor practice using slow walking, mindfulness and simple nature-based invitations. Other group areas include eco-grief and climate anxiety circles, nature-based wellbeing groups for grief, anxiety or life transitions, and integrative forest therapy or forest bathing.

Devana Therapies also offers organisational wellbeing, including nature-based wellbeing for teams through half-day workshops, full-day programmes or regular sessions combining gentle outdoor practices with reflective exercises.

Before individual outdoor work begins, clients complete a Health Screening and Readiness Form. Outdoor sessions use shared public spaces, so privacy and comfort are agreed together before work starts. Wheelchair-friendly routes are available for outdoor individual ecotherapy and outdoor counselling.
