Walk & Talk Counselling - 60 Min Session
60 minute Session
Service Description
Walk & Talk Counselling offers an alternative to traditional counselling by combining therapeutic conversation with gentle movement in a natural outdoor setting.

Cancellation Policy
Walk & Talk Counselling Policy Walk & Talk Counselling combines professional counselling with gentle walking in an agreed public outdoor location. These sessions offer an alternative to traditional office-based therapy, with the natural environment providing a calm and supportive space for reflection and conversation. Locations Sessions are held in agreed public locations that are considered appropriate for counselling. Depending on your preferences and the therapeutic goals of the session, we may spend the time walking, sitting in nature, or a combination of both. Confidentiality As sessions take place in public spaces, complete privacy cannot be guaranteed. While your personal information and counselling remain confidential, other people may see us walking together or nearby. If we encounter someone either of us knows, I will follow your lead and will never identify you as a client. If privacy is interrupted, we can pause the conversation, change direction, or continue once appropriate. Health & Safety Walk & Talk sessions involve gentle walking at a pace that is comfortable for you and are not fitness or exercise sessions. Please wear suitable clothing and footwear, bring water if needed, and advise me of any medical conditions, injuries, mobility concerns, or accessibility requirements before your appointment. By booking, you confirm you are physically able to participate or have discussed any relevant limitations with me. Weather If weather conditions are unsafe or unsuitable, your session may be moved online, by phone, or rescheduled by mutual agreement. Clinical Suitability Walk & Talk Counselling may not be appropriate for every client or every presenting concern. Where a private setting is clinically indicated, or if safety or confidentiality may be compromised, I may recommend online or phone counselling instead. Arrival Please arrive a few minutes early at the agreed meeting location. Sessions finish at the scheduled time, regardless of late arrival. Cancellations My standard cancellation policy applies. Appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours' notice, or missed without notice, may incur the full session fee. Consent By booking a Walk & Talk Counselling session, you acknowledge that you understand the nature of counselling in a public outdoor environment, accept the associated considerations regarding privacy and safety, and consent to participating under these conditions.
