Walk & Talk Counselling
Counselling That Moves With You

Sometimes it's easier to talk when you're not sitting across from someone. Walk & Talk Counselling combines professional counselling with gentle movement in nature, offering a relaxed alternative to traditional therapy.

Walking side by side can reduce the intensity of face-to-face conversation, helping many people feel more at ease, think more clearly, and process emotions naturally. For those who prefer, sessions can also include sitting together in nature, allowing space for reflection and conversation in a peaceful outdoor setting.

Whether we're walking, sitting, or a combination of both, the focus remains on providing a safe, supportive, and meaningful counselling experience.


Who is Walk & Talk Counselling for?

Walk & Talk Counselling may be a good fit if you:

• Experience stress, anxiety, burnout, or overwhelm

• Are navigating life transitions or relationship challenges

• Want support exploring identity, purpose, or personal growth

• Find it easier to think and process while moving

• Enjoy being outdoors and connecting with nature

• Prefer a less formal counselling environment

• Are neurodivergent and find traditional counselling settings overwhelming
  
   

What to Expect

Every session is tailored to your needs and may include:

• Gentle walking at a pace that suits you

• The option to sit in nature during part or all of the session

• A confidential and supportive therapeutic conversation

• Emotional processing and reflection

• Practical strategies and tools

• Psychoeducation where appropriate

• Goal setting and practical next steps

• Faith-integrated counselling if requested
   

There is no expectation to walk continuously. We can slow down, pause, or sit whenever needed.


How It Works
 

• Duration: 60 or 90 minutes

• Location: An agreed outdoor public location in the Frankston Council Region. 

• Pace: Gentle and comfortable

• Format: Walking, sitting, or a combination of both

• Weather: If conditions are unsuitable, sessions can be moved online or by phone
   

Meeting locations are chosen with consideration for comfort, accessibility, and privacy.


Why Nature?

Research has shown that spending time in natural environments can support emotional wellbeing, reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance cognitive functioning. When combined with counselling, many people find that movement and nature create a sense of calm that helps conversations flow more naturally.


Is Walk & Talk Right for Me?

Walk & Talk Counselling is suitable for most adults who are comfortable participating in gentle walking.

If you have mobility concerns, chronic illness, fatigue, or would simply prefer to spend more time sitting in nature, please let me know. Sessions are flexible and can be adapted to your needs.
