Walk And Talk Therapy
Walk and talk therapy is an excellent way to create energy and boost your mental health through physical movement and psychotherapy. This approach allows individuals to connect with nature while exploring their thoughts and emotions, leading to a greater sense of clarity and purpose. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, or other mental health concerns, walk and talk therapy can be a tool for enhancing your overall well-being.
Benefits
Well Balanced and Sensible
Face to Face counselling sometime can be confronting or overwhelming. Talking about your concerns, and what have been "stuck" in your daily life through walking in an outdoor environment can help the individual feel more grounded
Release Emotion
Walk and talk therapy combines physical activity with emotional benefits, improving well-being, resilience, and releasing stress. Sessions outside with movement lead to relaxed and open mind, resulting in insights and breakthroughs in therapy.
Creative
Get ready to unlock your creativity and take charge of your life! Movement can often facilitate psychological processing and empower you to explore new ways of thinking and generate fresh ideas.
Interpersonal grow
Boosting self-esteem and problem-solving skills are vital for personal and success. By building-confidence and effective problem-solving abilities, individuals can overcome challenges, leading to a more fulfilling life.
Physical Activity
Not only can help you establish a regular exercise routine, but it can also your energy and motivation, promote better sleep, and improve your overall physical and mental health.
Connection
Nature has a way of bringing balance and peace into our lives. By connecting with the natural world, we can feel more relaxed and centered. Take a moment to step outside and breathe in the fresh, and let the beauty nature soothe your soul.

You may have question about...
Q: What about confidentiality?
The same confidentiality rules apply during a Walk and Talk therapy session as in a normal counselling session. However, there are some limitations with this being out in a public area which your counsellor will discuss with you prior to starting.
If by chance, we run into someone who you know, the client can take the lead in establishing how to handle it. Clients can steer into another direction or politely wave. In parks, people are accustomed to seeing people walk together. We will maintain your confidentiality. A signed consent form is required to address confidentiality prior to beginning.
Q: What about bad weather?
If the weather prohibits us from walking outdoors, an alternative sheltered location may consider. You also have the option to have an online or phone session.
Q: What age of the client you accept?
Over 18 years old
Q: Do you offer a group walk and talk therapy?
No. Only one on one.
Q: Can we have a coffee together after session?
No, Sorry! The walk and talk session will only hold by decided duration. After session is finished, we say good-bye to each other and walk away.
Q: Did you provide medicare rebate?
No. As a counsellor, I am not able to offer Medicare rebates under mental health care plan.
Q: Did you provide private health rebate?
You may check with your private insurance policy to see if your level is cover.
Q: Is there a cancellation policy?

No show will not be able to provide a refund. 0~24 hours' notice will be charged full fee. Less than 48 hours' notice will be charged 50% fee.
