Walk and Talk therapy

Counselling outdoors, at a gentler pace

If the idea of having your counselling session in a park or natural space feels more comfortable to you, Walk and Talk therapy may be a good fit. I offer outdoor counselling sessions that combine therapeutic support with movement, fresh air, and time in nature.

For some people, the pace and rhythm of walking - or simply sitting on a bench in a natural setting - can help them relax, open up, and process thoughts, feelings, and emotions more easily. Walk and Talk sessions are 50 minutes long and take place in the Kingston-upon-Thames area

What Walk and Talk can offer

For some people, being outdoors can create a different kind of therapeutic space - one that feels calmer, less formal, and easier to settle into. Walk and Talk therapy combines counselling with movement and time in nature, offering support in a setting that may feel more natural and spacious.

  • Movement and rhythm

    The pace and rhythm of walking can help some people feel more at ease, making it easier to speak, reflect, and stay connected to what they are feeling.

  • Connection with nature

    Being in a park or natural space can bring a sense of calm and openness, which may support the process of slowing down and talking things through.

  • A less formal setting

    For some people, outdoor counselling can feel less intimidating than a traditional face-to-face session, while still offering the depth and care of therapeutic work.

  • Space to process

    Walking - or simply sitting together on a bench - can help create a more natural flow of speech, giving room to process thoughts, feelings, and emotions in a different way.

Who this may suit

Walk and Talk therapy may be helpful if you are looking for therapeutic support in a setting that feels a little more open, natural, and less formal than a traditional counselling room.

You may be looking for support with...

Bereavement and loss, anxiety, life transitions, overwhelm, low self-esteem, parenting challenges, or a general sense that things are feeling difficult to carry on your own.

Online counselling may suit you if...

You feel more comfortable being outdoors, you find movement helps you think and talk more freely, or a traditional face-to-face setting feels a little too intense or formal.
