Walk-and-Talk Therapy

(WATT)

A different kind of space to talk

 

Walk & Talk Therapy offers a gentle shift, away from four walls and into something more open, natural, and grounded.

If you’re looking for a counselling experience that feels a little different, this may be a supportive place to begin.

Where Sessions Take Place:

We meet in local green spaces that feel safe and grounding:

Why Walk & Talk Therapy?

This approach can feel lighter, more open, and less intense than sitting in a room.

​

  • Feel more at ease and less pressured

  • Support clearer thinking and reflection

  • Experience the calming effects of nature and fresh air

  • Allow conversations to flow more naturally

  • Gently reconnect with your body and surroundings

 

For many people, walking helps things “shift” in a way that talking alone sometimes can’t.

What a session looks like

A Walk & Talk session is similar to a standard counselling session - just outdoors.

  • 50-minute individual session

  • Walk at a pace that suits you

  • You don’t need to walk the whole time

  • We can pause, sit, or rest whenever needed

  • Open spaces or benches can be used if you prefer to stop and talk

​

This is your space - movement is optional, not expected.

Please note: WATT is currently available for individual counselling only.

Getting started

We begin in a way that feels safe and grounded.

Step 1 - Initial session (in-person)
We meet in a private consultation room to get to know each other and explore what you’re looking for.

​

Step 2 - Is WATT the right fit?
Together, we decide whether Walk & Talk Therapy suits your needs and preferences.

​

Step 3 - Review the WATT Policy
You’ll be guided to a separate page outlining important information, including consent, privacy, and safety considerations.

​

Step 4 - Begin outdoor sessions.
When you feel ready, we transition to Walk & Talk sessions.

Therapy
A Flexible Approach
Beacause we're working outdoors, sessions depend on conditions.
If needed, your sessions will be adjusted to ensure your comfort and safety.
Situations that may require a change include:
​
  • Rain or storms
  • Extreme heat, cold, or high UV
  • Strong winds
  • Smoke or poor air quality
  • Wet or unsafe walking surfaces
  • Park maintenance (eg. mowing, pesticide spraying, closures or events)

If plans need to change

 

If a Walk & Talk session can’t go ahead, we’ll move to:

  • An in-person session indoors (if available), or

  • An online session

​

This ensures your support continues without interruption.

​

A few things to keep in mind

  • Outdoor sessions mean privacy can't be fully guaranteed

  • There may be natural distractions (people, dogs, sounds)

  • Comfortable clothing, footwear, water, and sun protection are recommended

  • Sessions can be adjusted to suit your pace and physical comfort
