WALK & TALK THERAPY
If you're considering counselling for the first time, it's natural to feel apprehensive about sitting across from someone you don't know.
Face-to-face counselling can feel intimidating, particularly when you're already feeling vulnerable. If that's the case, Walk & Talk Therapy may offer a more comfortable way to begin.
Instead of meeting in a counselling room, sessions take place outdoors while we walk together at a comfortable pace. Walking gives conversation a different rhythm, and for some people, that simply feels more comfortable.
Walk & Talk Therapy might be for you if:
-
You feel nervous about starting counselling.
-
Talking feels easier when you're walking rather than sitting face to face.
-
You find professional settings uncomfortable or intimidating.
-
You enjoy spending time outdoors and feel calmer in nature.
-
You would like to combine gentle movement with emotional support.
-
You're experiencing loneliness and would value connection in a relaxed environment.
-
You're a parent with a young child and find walking with a pram more practical than attending an office appointment
