Walk & Talk Therapy
Eco Therapy in Nature
What is Walk & Talk Therapy?
Walk and Talk Therapy, also known as eco therapy, is a form of counselling/psychotherapy where confidential sessions take place outside with the client and myself walking side by side. It is also referred to as Outdoor Therapy.
The pace is set by you and I match your pace. If you wish to pause or sit you are free to do so. You are welcome to bring babies in prams or pet dogs to our walk and talk sessions.
I complete risk assessments to all parks prior to sessions, which are located within Carshalton, Cheam, Morden and Sutton boroughs.
Objective & Confidentiality
The objective of Walk and Talk is for us to have a counselling session. However, walking in a natural environment provides an additional therapeutic context.
I adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework and same rules of confidentiality as in face to face counselling sessions. Agreements can be made during our assessment, in preparation for our walk and talk sessions.
