WALK AND TALK THERAPY
Taking therapy on a walk changes the dynamic of the therapeutic space and can offer the opportunity to bring a new dimension. A number of clients have found that the most effective and eye-opening experiences have been in this setting.
Many clients prefer Walk and Talk therapy as it takes the formality out of the experience. It provides a medium to process through movement as well as words and adds in the motion of moving forward, together. This in itself is therapeutic. Like we are progressing in actions as well as words from the very start. We go at your pace, which allows us to enter a rhythmic flow while we process your inner thoughts, feelings, and experience. One thing I particularly like about it is that we are providing exercise to our body as well as our mind.
