Why Women & Wild is Different

Why Women & Wild is Different

Therapy here steps beyond the 4 walls of a therapy office... At Women & Wild, you'll find support that feels human, flexible and rooted in real life.

🧠

Evidence-based psychology

Grounded in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and other proven approaches.

🌲

The great outdoors

Sessions and events in nature to clear your head and connect you back to what matters.

🏔️

Adventure & challenge

From gentle hikes to wild weekends, stepping out of your comfort zone is part of the healing.

🤝

Community

No sterile waiting rooms, just warm, genuine connection with women who get it.

✨

No diagnosis needed

You don't have to be "clinically unwell" to deserve support, space, and tools for change.

This isn't about ticking boxes. It's about helping you feel more like yourself again, calm, confident and connected.

A Taste of the Wild: Past Retreat Highlights

  • Women & Wild group walking the Worcestershire Way, 31-mile hike with community and connection

    Two days, 31 miles and endless fresh air across the stunning Worcestershire countryside. A powerful mix of challenge, laughter and connection that left every woman stronger, lighter and full of wild memories.

  • Group of women on Yorkshire Dales retreat holding Women & Wild flag after hiking Great Shunner Fell

    Yorkshire Dales Retreat - June 2025

    Luxury meets adventure in the heart of the Dales. With cold water dips, a 19km hike over Great Shunner Fell and fireside wine with soul stirring views. This was a weekend of big skies, big exhales and unforgettable company.

  • Women & Wildfire retreat group around fire with torches, breathwork and woodland activities in the Cotswolds

    Women & Wildfire Retreat - October 2024

    A blend of deep rest and bold challenge. From firewalking and breathwork to sound baths under the stars, this weekend woodland escape to the Cotswolds was for the woman ready to press pause on the chaos and reconnect with her spark.

    Thank you Kate for an amazing adventure in North Yorkshire. Every detail had been planned so carefully to make us all welcome. Met some amazing women, enjoyed the challenges, had fun and laughed a lot! Fantastic accommodation and food…couldn’t ask for more!!

  • Denise

    Absolutely fantastic experience taking part in Worcestershire Way walk. Kate is a wonderful host & made everyone welcome. Especially those who were new to the group. I can't wait to go to another walk.

  • Marie

    A little nervous to start this new group , but everyone was so welcoming. Kate was very attentive and made sure she spoke to all of us in the group- can’t wait for the next event

  • Carol

    Women and Wild gave me a wonderful weekend away, hiking the Yorkshire Dales and swimming in a waterfall with amazing like minded women. Kate was an inspirational leader, the food, drinks and accommodation were all blissful. Thank you for a much needed ‘reset’.

  • Maxine

    What a wonderful experience..... filled with the best guide and organiser Kate and a whole bunch of lovely supportive ladies who made a challenging walk super enjoyable! Can not wait til the next!

  • Clare

    I joined Kate's retreat because I felt stuck and needed a change in my life. I was challenged to step out of my comfort zone, but always felt safe and supported to do so. Now, a week later, I do feel different—more confident that I can make the changes I need to in my life. I will always be grateful for this retreat.
