Walk and Talk Therapy
Counselling in the outdoors
Walk and talk therapy is a form of counselling that takes place outdoors while you and your counsellor walk side by side.Being outside and moving gently can help some people feel more relaxed and comfortable when talking. It may be particularly helpful if you find traditional face-to-face sessions in a room intense or restrictive.
Walk and talk therapy offers the same professional and confidential support as other forms of counselling, the main difference is the setting.
