This is nothing new. However, with some people feeling anxious about returning to face to face counselling, this provides an alternative option.
Counselling in the open air combined with a walk connecting with nature and wildlife. You set the pace, and if you want to stop and look at something, or sit on a bench, that’s fine.
For some people the idea of traditional face to face counselling, sitting in a room, seems too intense; and some people find eye contact uncomfortable. Walk and Talk Therapy feels more natural and makes talking easier and thoughts flow better. The quality of the counselling is no different, but being outdoors has many advantages:
Exercise helps release endorphins which can help improve your mood and boost your energy levels. It also helps reduce anxiety, stress and depression.
Going for a walk and connecting with nature and wildlife is well documented to have therapeutic effects, and combining this with counselling can help you literally move forward.
