Find a walk and talk therapist near you
Looking for a more natural way to access therapy?
Walk and talk therapy allows you to speak with a qualified practitioner while walking outdoors, rather than sitting in a traditional therapy room. It offers a more relaxed, flexible approach that can feel easier to engage with.
Use the options below to find a walk and talk therapist near you and take the first step toward getting support in a way that feels more comfortable.
What is Walk and Talk Therapy
Walk and talk therapy is a form of counselling that takes place outdoors while walking, rather than sitting face-to-face in a room.
Sessions are held in parks, along walking paths, or in quiet outdoor spaces. You walk side-by-side with your therapist, which can reduce pressure and make conversations feel more natural.
For many people, this approach feels less clinical and more comfortable, especially if traditional therapy settings feel too intense or restrictive.
WHY PEOPLE CHOSE WALK AND TALK THERAPY
People often choose this approach because it:
-
Feels less formal than sitting in a therapy room
-
Reduces the pressure of direct eye contact
-
Helps with overthinking and mental clarity
-
Combines movement with emotional support
-
Feels more natural and easier to maintain
It can be particularly helpful for people experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, or feeling stuck.
What to Expect
A typical session involves meeting your therapist at an agreed outdoor location and walking together at a pace that suits you.
There is no pressure to keep moving. You can stop, sit, or take breaks as needed. Sessions are guided by what you want to talk about, and the environment often makes conversations feel more open and relaxed.
You do not need to be physically fit. Walks are adapted to your comfort level, and your therapist will work with you to ensure the experience feels supportive.
