2. Walk & Talk Therapy
Embrace a new way to connect with your well-being through our ‘Walk and Talk’ Therapy sessions. Chris is pleased to offer this unique service in Melbourne’s north western suburbs, including Essendon, Avondale Heights, Keilor East, and Braybrook and surrounding areas.
Walk and talk therapy is a form of psychotherapy that takes place while walking together in a natural setting, such as a park or green space.
Walk and Talk Therapy offers a unique approach by blending physical movement with therapeutic conversation in nature, offering a refreshing alternative to traditional sessions. This combination can help reduce anxiety and stress, creating a more relaxed environment for open and vulnerable sharing. The natural setting can also improve mood and overall wellbeing, while fostering a deeper connection with the environment, promoting mindfulness and grounding.
