Walk and Talk Therapy
All sessions take place virtually, either by phone or secure video platform, so you can connect with us from anywhere in Ontario.
Individual Walk and Talk Psychotherapy
Walk and Talk Therapy is defined as psychotherapy sessions completed with a client and a therapist while walking outdoors in an intentionally chosen public space. Walk and Talk Therapy is an optional and can be used intermittently or regularly, making it a flexible option to add to regular individual psychotherapy services.

An ideal client for Walk and Talk Therapy is defined as someone who enjoys being outside/ in nature, enjoys walking and being active, and would like to have a change from their virtual sessions, either temporarily or regularly.
If you are interested, your therapist will speak with you about the appropriateness of Walk and Talk Therapy for your unique situation and what has brought you to therapy to ensure to maximize your safety and emotional and physical well-being.
What to Expect
Time in Nature
Spending a session with your therapist outside in a green space.
Movement
Walking and moving your body throughout most or all of the session.
Grounding
Adding mindfulness into your sessions through connection to nature and your body.
Things To Consider
Different Processing
Walking side-by-side with your therapist can help to process things differently than being face-to-face, which can feel less intimidating or easier for some.
Weather Dependent
Walk and Talk sessions only happen in safe and decent weather, which means that sessions may change to virtual if weather doesn't cooperate.
Public Discussion
Your therapist will talk with you about how to keep your sessions as private as possible, and there's a risk of being overheard when you're outside in public.
