Movement…

Movement of the body, and a shift in environment, can help us to think differently about aspects of our lives that have before seemed immovable. Aside from the obvious benefits associated with physical exercise, working therapeutically outdoors can help with feelings of being “stuck”, anxiety, stress or anger; plus the physical space and headspace that being outside provides releases endorphins and is generally mood-enhancing.

Walking

Walking together side by side also means that the often hugely valuable silences in therapy are much easier to bear for many people, and that the potential intensity of eye contact is removed for those who find it an uncomfortable part of therapeutic work. I am keen to work in a way that suits you best, and everyone has a different balance that works for them - we could mix sessions between outdoors and inside to suit.
