Walk & Talk Therapy in Rushcliffe
Space to connect your thoughts, out in the open.
When you are already feeling emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed, sitting face-to-face in a quiet room or staring at a screen can sometimes feel a bit intense.
Choosing Walk & Talk therapy means we take our conversation outside. Physical movement naturally helps to unlock thoughts, ease anxiety and shift big emotions that feel stuck. It allows you to protect a weekly space for genuine reflection using the grounding, stress-lowering benefits of nature to help you hear your own voice again.
I offer focussed outdoor psychotherapy in Rushcliffe and South Nottinghamshire allowing you to step back and find a clearer way forward at your own pace.
How it works
-
The 15-min intro call
We meet briefly via a secure Google Meet link. It’s a free, informal, zero-pressure space to say hello, talk through what you’re hoping to get out of therapy, and see if we click.
-
Choosing our path
If we decide to work together, we will find a regular weekly time slot that works for your schedule. Our first full 50-minute session will take place online via Google Meet allowing us to map out your therapeutic goals, complete our safety and location planning and make sure you feel completely prepared before we transition outdoors.
-
Move at your own pace
From our second session onwards we meet at our agreed outdoor location. We use the simple act of walking to help get your thoughts moving in a calm, open environment where you can find your feet again.

What if the weather is bad?
Nature is rarely perfect, and there's often something genuinely therapeutic about working through the elements together, so I hold sessions in most weather. All I'd ask is that you dress for the conditions: comfortable walking shoes and a waterproof coat usually do it. In severe or unsafe weather, we simply adapt, either moving online via Google Meet or rescheduling for a better time. Nothing about British weather needs to get in the way of consistency. We'll agree what counts as too bad together early on.
Is our work together confidential? What if we meet someone I know?
Yes. Everything we discuss is confidential, in line with the ethical frameworks of the BACP and NCPS, with the same small legal exceptions that apply to any session. For Walk & Talk specifically, your privacy outdoors matters just as much, so we choose quiet, open paths where we can speak freely without being overheard. Before your first outdoor session, we agree a simple, discreet plan for exactly what to do if either of us crosses paths with someone we know. That way you stay in control of the space, even when we’re outside.
How fit do I need to be for Walk & Talk therapy?
You don't need any particular fitness level: this isn't an exercise class or a brisk walk with an agenda. The movement is there simply to help ground you and get your thoughts flowing, at a gentle pace that you set. If you want to slow down, or sit on a bench to unpack something, that's absolutely fine. Many clients find the pace naturally settles once we're a few minutes in. If you're ever unsure whether this format would suit you, it's worth raising on the intro call.
