Combining evidence-based psychological therapy, nutritional psychiatry and clinical exercise physiology, we support individuals and groups to feel well and stay well. Our flagship farm-based clinic is located in Woodchurch, near Ashford.
The Wilder Lab
Research & innovation
The Wilder Lab is our research and innovation department. Through our university partnerships, we support green care research, from piloting nature-based CFT programmes to modelling the impact of climate anxiety on young people. We have presented at international conferences, published in peer-reviewed journals, and been invited to speak on podcasts and radio programmes from Milton Keynes to Melbourne.
“The same high-quality mental health support — only wilder.”
We only hire highly-trained, experienced, compassionate staff with a relevant professional accreditation, so that you can be sure that whatever service you are accessing, every intervention is evidence-based and clinically grounded. Distinctively, all of our services are delivered in partnership with nature, be that in woodlands or pasture, with equine or canine partners, across the four seasons: because we believe the most profound changes occur within real relationships, in real environments, with real clinicians.
