Walk and Talk Therapy in Leamington Spa

I offer walking therapy sessions outside in Leamington's parks as an alternative to traditional face-to-face sessions. Many people find this a more comfortable way to explore their feelings, with the added mental health benefits that come from movement and being outside in nature.

Walking alongside one another can feel very different to sitting opposite one another in a therapeutic context. This experience has been described as and likened to the conversations we have in the car. For some people simply being in nature can help thoughts and feelings flow more easily. Below you will find my reflections, experiences and research findings on walking and talking outside which is an ongoing interest of mine.

 

If this is something you are interested in then my suggestion is that we discuss this possibility and we agree about the logistics and contract of the session such as what we will do if the weather is bad, what we do about confidentiality, how we will negotiate encountering other people or people we know etc.
