Walk and Talk counselling

Walk and Talk Therapy is a way of having counselling sessions while walking outdoors, rather than sitting indoors face to face. We walk* side by side at your pace, allowing the natural rhythm of movement and the presence of Nature to support the therapeutic process. Sessions take place in safe, public spaces that also offer enough privacy for meaningful and confidential conversation.

As well as providing a different setting for therapy, walking outdoors can offer a range of benefits, including:

• Reducing the intensity of eye contact, which can make talking feel easier and more natural.
• Supporting relaxation and nervous system regulation using movement and body awareness as part of the session.
• Encouraging reflection and creativity, inspired by the changing environment.
• Promoting physical wellbeing alongside emotional exploration.
• Providing a grounding, sensory experience through connection with Nature.

Depending on your needs, we can choose Walk and Talk Therapy as our regular way of meeting or decide to have one-off outdoor sessions as part of our counselling process.

All sessions are weather dependent and will only go ahead if it is safe to do so. I am also a qualified Health Walk Leader, which means I can guide and support our walks with both your wellbeing and safety in mind.
