Walk & Talk Therapy
WHAT IS WALK & TALK THERAPY?
Walk and Talk Therapy is the same as traditional therapy, the main difference being that we meet outside in nature. Sessions can happen in ways that works for you and are not meant to be a fitness program. You can choose to walk at a pace that suits you and can take sit down breaks if this feels appropriate.
I aim to work at the pace that suits each individual both therapeutically and physically and encourage conversation about how we approach this piece of our work together.
Why Walk & Talk Therapy?
Walk and Talk Therapy is very similar to a session in an office. When working in an office some people find sitting in front of a therapist really intense and walking together side by side can remove some of this pressure. Scientific research also shows that physical exercise creates more positive feelings within us.
This is a great approach for teens or children with a lot of energy or anxiety!
During this therapeutic approach we can use these positive feelings to help us explore our inner process in a way that might not happen in a room. Clients are often able to access a better sense of themselves when working together in a less confined environment.
Where can we work together?
There are a few locations that can work well, both for your therapeutic needs and for your ease of access. Once we have agreed on a location and provided it works for us, I would encourage this being our regular counselling location.
During this particularly challenging time I am able to offer both outdoor counselling and secure online counselling through my Jane platform
Together we can make a decision about how to meet that works best for you.
