Coming Summer 2025

Walk and Talk therapy at Start Blossoming

A Connected Way To Experience Therapy

Sometimes the most profound conversations happen when we're walking side by side rather than sitting face to face. This summer, I'm launching walk and talk therapy sessions in the beautiful countryside of Worcestershire and South Shropshire.

What is Walk and Talk Therapy?

Walk and talk therapy combines gentle movement with therapeutic conversation in natural settings. As we walk together along peaceful paths, something magical happens - the rhythm of walking, the presence of nature, and the side-by-side positioning create a unique space for insight and healing.

Research shows that gentle movement can help:

  • Reduce anxiety and stress

  • Improve mood and mental clarity

  • Unlock creative problem-solving

  • Create new perspectives on old patterns

Who is Walk and Talk Therapy For?

This approach is particularly helpful for women who:

  • Feel stuck in patterns of overthinking

  • Struggle with self-doubt and confidence

  • Find it difficult to prioritise their own needs

  • Are seeking a different approach to therapy

  • Feel more at ease in natural settings

  • Prefer gentle movement to sitting still

The Experience

Our sessions take place in beautiful locations across Worcestershire and South Shropshire. Each location offers:

  • Safe walking paths

  • Beautiful natural surroundings

  • Peaceful atmosphere with places to pause and sit

  • Parking and toilet facilities

  • Weather contingency plans

Sessions are 60 minutes long and follow the same professional standards as traditional therapy, with the added benefit of nature as our co-therapist.

Why Nature Matters

There's something profound that happens when we step outside the traditional therapy room. Nature offers:

  • Natural metaphors that illuminate personal insights

  • A sense of perspective that busy indoor spaces can't provide

  • The calming presence that helps quiet anxious thoughts

  • An experience that grounds us in our body

  • Seasonal wisdom that mirrors our own cycles of growth

Launching July 2025

I'm currently finalising the beautiful locations where we'll walk together and preparing all the practical details to ensure your experience is both meaningful and comfortable.

FAQs

  • I’m led by my client, if you are happy to be in the rain so am I. I don’t feel like there’s any “bad” weather as different elements often bring a unique power to a session. Sessions can be cancelled, rescheduled or adapted if there is severe weather warnings and most locations offer options for cover if needed.

  • Comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. I'll provide detailed guidance when you book.

  • despite the name, walk and talk therapy can be simply sitting in nature. Routes are gentle and adaptable to your comfort level, pausing as little or as offer as you prefer.

  • Safety is the most important thing to me and we discuss and plan at length how to keep your session as confidential as possible.

    Being outside, there’s always some risk of being seen or heard by a member of public.
