About
Hiiii! Welcome to Outlook Ecotherapy!
We are an outdoor-loving team, offering equine and nature-based psychology, coaching, supervision, and research.
Our aim is to support clients, clinicians and corporate teams to develop a deeper connection with self, others, and the natural world. We believe nature can support all beings to nurture and navigate internal and external environments.
The Outlook is an 18 acre property situated on Darkinyung land, which borders Avoca Lake, neighbouring bushland, and Pickett’s Valley on the NSW Central Coast. We are super lucky to have the scrub and the sea on our door step!
Our programs are inclusive, integrative, and innovative, and may occur in the paddock, forest, shed or stables, by the dam or at the beach! Here, we practice what we preach, and are committed to supporting meaningful and sustainable change, and to advancing the research of Ecotherapy and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy.
Meet the Team
Our team includes ‘Bernie’ a Bernese Mountain Dog, Anna, six hens, a herd of eight horses including Piccolo (pictured), Dan, four wallaby’s, and various animals, plants and elements from our ever-changing natural world.
Anna is a clinical psychologist, coach and AHPRA board-approved supervisor, with experience working in public mental health, not-for-profit, foreign aid, research and in private practice. Anna loves everything outdoors, learning about First Nations health practices, photography, and painting.
Dan is a provisional psychologist, lawyer, family dispute resolution practitioner and mediator. Like Anna, Dan enjoys the outdoors, and feels most alive when he is in nature, surfing, or cooking with wholefoods. Prior to joining Outlook Ecotherapy, Dan worked in public and private practice, disability, human rights, and dispute resolution.
