Located in Stourport-on-Severn, easily accessible from Kidderminster, Bewdley, Hartlebury, Astley Cross and Worcester,

There's something magical about these Worcestershire woods that just can't be replicated in a therapy room. Maybe it's the way conversations flow when you're walking side by side. Maybe it's how nature holds space for your emotions without judgment. Or maybe it's simply that your nervous system can finally relax among the trees.

Why Burlish Bike Park?

You might wonder why a mountain bike park makes an excellent location for walk and talk therapy. Burlish Bike Park sits in beautiful Burlish Top Woodlands in Stourport-on-Severn. Owned and operated by the registered charity Open Trail (1190929), the park exists to help young people 'strive for more than they think possible, despite their own personal circumstances.' Their aim is to help children develop self-esteem, confidence and emotional resilience - goals that align beautifully with walk and talk therapy for women struggling with their own confidence.

The Perfect Environment for Healing

Peaceful Weekday Sessions While weekends can be busy with families and riders, weekdays offer a completely different atmosphere. The woodland becomes a peaceful sanctuary where the gentle sounds of nature replace the noise of daily life.

Why This Location Works for Walk and Talk Therapy

For Women Feeling Lost in People-Pleasing

There's something uniquely empowering about being in a space where people regularly challenge themselves and push beyond perceived limitations. Even if you're not on a bike, the energy whispers: "You can do more than you think you can."

Natural Confidence Building

In a space dedicated to individual achievement and personal growth, it becomes easier to explore what it means to pursue your own goals rather than constantly accommodating others. The park's focus on resilience-building creates a natural backdrop for developing your inner strength.

Accessible Woodland Experience

Located just 25 minutes from Worcester city centre, Burlish offers easy access to genuine woodland experience for clients from Kidderminster, Bewdley, and Worcester without lengthy travel times.
