What is Walk and Talk Therapy?
Walk and Talk Therapy offers a novel twist to traditional counselling, where sessions unfold outdoors, strolling side by side. This ambiance fosters a dynamic and spontaneous conversation, cradled by nature’s serenity.
Why Choose Walk and Talk Therapy?
- Nature’s Healing Power: Natural settings can induce relaxation and diminish feelings of stress and anxiety (Hartig, Mitchell, de Vries, & Frumkin, 2014).Â
- Physical Activity: The act of walking releases endorphins, which are natural mood enhancers, potentially augmenting therapeutic outcomes (Mammen & Faulkner, 2013).Â
- Dynamic Setting: Movement during therapy can spark fluid thought processes and foster open dialogues (Jordan & Hinds, 2016).Â
