Walk and Talk Therapy

Clear your mind, move your body, find your path

On a Walk

What is Walk and Talk Therapy?

Walk and talk therapy combines traditional counselling with the benefits of being outdoors and moving. Sessions are held in natural settings like parks or trails, offering a relaxed and refreshing environment. This approach is ideal for people who find it hard to sit still or feel more at ease in nature.

How It Works

Sessions are available for clients aged 14 and up, with parental or caregiver consent if needed. A risk assessment is carried out before starting. The pace and path of each walk are guided by you, with breaks for rest or reflection whenever needed. All the same ethical and confidentiality standards as traditional therapy are maintained.

Why Choose Walk and Talk?

  • Reduces stress and anxiety through fresh air and movement

  • Supports emotional expression in a less intense setting

  • Encourages engagement through a more informal environment

  • Connects you with nature, which can feel grounding and calming
    This approach can feel more accessible and natural for many clients.

A Flexible, Natural Alternative

Walk and talk therapy offers a unique, dynamic way to experience counselling. It blends the structure of traditional therapy with the healing effects of nature and physical activity—providing a meaningful alternative for those who prefer something outside the usual therapy room.

From my first call with Helen, I felt validated and understood. She helped me see things from different perspectives, the work we have done has been life-changing.
I can hand on heart say she has made me a better version of myself. She has provided me with tools to help me be the best mother I can be, the best wife I can be, but mostly, the best ME I can be FOR ME. She encourages me to open up at my own pace, helps me get to places of contentment.
Thank you, Helen.
