Walk and talk therapy is a supportive alternative to in-office counselling. It can be especially helpful for people who feel uncomfortable sitting across from someone or who process more easily while moving. Walking side by side can reduce pressure, loosen mental tension, and allow conversations to unfold more naturally. Being outdoors may also promote mindfulness and offer a sense of relief from routine or enclosed spaces. Sessions are held in quiet, accessible outdoor locations such as local parks or trails. Your therapist will ensure the space offers enough privacy to speak freely. The walk is always paced according to your comfort. This is not a fitness activity. The intention is to support emotional health in a setting that feels calming and spacious. Many people find that being in motion helps them reflect in new ways. Walk and talk sessions can also feel more balanced for those dealing with stress, burnout, or emotional overwhelm. They support nervous system regulation, reduce mental fatigue, and invite fresh perspective. This format works well for concerns such as anxiety, life transitions, creative blocks, or feeling stuck. It is not suitable for every therapeutic need, and your therapist will always work with you to decide whether it is the right approach. If it is a good fit, walk and talk therapy can provide a thoughtful and grounding way to receive support outside of the traditional therapy room.
