"You find the path by walking it."

Talking Therapy
Sharing the journey
Talking is an effective therapy for a range of common problems. Whether you are coping with stress, anxiety or depression, or facing difficulties at work or in your personal life, setting aside time to actively focus on improving your situation with a psychotherapist is a step in the right direction.
Walking Therapy
Healing in the natural environment
Walking improves mental health. Being outdoors has a positive impact on emotional wellbeing. The natural environment and exercise are a mood lifting combination that reduce stress, anxiety and depression and increase self-esteem and cognitive functioning.

What our clients say about...
Walk and Talk Therapy:
“I think the walk and talk aspect of therapy accelerated the benefit I was able to get from the therapeutic process”.
“Being in nature is something that’s helpful to me, along with the ever-changing view and breeze. It somehow helps put things into perspective too. It’s a democratic and equal space too”.
Our therapy:
“It increased my self confidence and allowed me to be more comfortable in my own skin”.
“It helped initially to sort the chaos in my mind and begin to slow down huge anxious waves that had started to overwhelm me. Then I started to achieve some clarity about what was happening”.
“It has helped me live more comfortably with things that happened to me and granted me greater perspective on different relationships and events”.
Our therapists:
“She was kind, determined to help, balanced, realistic and accepting; a real partner in the work that was required”.

“I felt I was in the hands of a very good steward and guide. I felt fully accepted”.
