Walk And Talk Therapy

Therapy that moves with you

Walk & Talk Therapy is a simple but powerful alternative to traditional counselling. Instead of sitting indoors, we walk side by side in a calm, natural setting — creating space to talk, reflect, and breathe. Many people find that walking helps conversations flow more naturally, making it easier to open up.

Why Choose Walk & Talk?

Gentle movement reduces stress and helps clear the mind.
Fresh air and nature provide a calming, restorative backdrop.
Side-by-side conversation can feel less intense than sitting face-to-face.
A relaxed setting makes counselling feel more approachable.

How it works

Sessions last 50 minutes, just like a traditional counselling session.
We agree a safe, accessible route in or around Frome, Somerset.

Example walking routes:

You set the pace — whether a slow stroll or a brisker walk.

If the weather isn’t suitable, we’ll have a plan B (reschedule, move online, or arrange an indoor space).

Confidentiality & Safety

Your privacy matters. Whilst I’ll do my best to choose routes that are calm and allow us to talk confidentially without being overheard, walking outside in public does run the risk of people walking past in close proximity.

I’ll always check in with you about what feels safe and comfortable.

Who is it for?

Walk & Talk Therapy can be helpful for anyone who feels more at ease outside, or who finds it difficult to talk in a traditional therapy room.
I work with adults (18+) experiencing challenges such as:

Stress, anxiety, and panic attacks
Depression or low mood
Loss, grief, or bereavement
Relationship difficulties
Low self-confidence or self-esteem
Life transitions or feeling “stuck”

It’s also for those who simply want space to reflect, gain perspective, or talk through life’s ups and downs in a supportive environment.

Testimonials

“Walking alongside David helped me open up in a way I never managed in traditional counselling. There was something about being outdoors that made everything feel calmer and less pressured. I always finished our sessions feeling lighter and clearer.”

“I was really anxious about starting therapy, but the walking made it feel so natural. David creates such a relaxed, grounded atmosphere that I felt safe to slow down, breathe, and talk honestly. It’s made a huge difference to how I cope day to day.”

“The combination of movement, nature, and David’s gentle support helped me through a really difficult transition in my life. Having someone walk beside me was incredibly reassuring. I’m so grateful for the space he gave me to reflect and find my feet again.”
