I wrote this literature review in 2022 as part of my degree. It was fully researched and written by me without the use of AI. 

The research is centred around neurotypical individuals, as it was written prior to me receiving my Autism amd ADHD diagnoses. However, throughout my experience of sitting with many neurodiverse clients over the years, my belief is that nature has an equally positive effect on neurodiverse individuals too.

My counselling work is therefore shaped by a long standing connection with nature and the steady, regulating effect it has on the nervous system. I’m interested in how being outdoors can support clarity, reduce overwhelm and help people feel more anchored in themselves.
