Walk and Talk Therapy

As well as offering the traditional setting for therapy to take place I became aware that sometimes my clients would feel uncomfortable sitting in a one to one setting. I also became aware that some of my clients were quite kinaesthetic and wanted to move around when expressing themselves.

As a result of this, I incorporated Walk and Talk into my work. This is where a session with a client takes place outside, usually in a park or other open space and for the duration of the session both the client and me will walk as the client talks about what they have brought to therapy.

The clients with which I have used the Walk and Talk therapy have said it felt quite liberating to be able to be out in the world as they expressed themselves about things they normally only ever kept to themselves behind closed doors.
