Walking Therapy

​

A number of people find the anticipation of working with a therapist to be a daunting prospect.  Particularly at the start of the therapeutic relationship, for some people,  a 1 hour session is too short to develop trust in their therapist and still have time to move onto therapeutic work.  However, longer than this, especially on-line, can feel too tiring and intense.  Therefore, I also offer extended sessions of 'walking therapy'.  

​

These are sessions of 1.5 - 3 hours duration that take place in the beautiful and peaceful Mid-Wales countryside.  These take place around the riverside towns of Brecon and Builth Wells and in the surrounding area.   I use gentle paced, mindful walking, interspersed with periods of sitting and resting to allow spacious and easy attention to the client's difficulties .  

​

This extended time-period allows trust to develop; the physical activity of walking has a grounding effect and the natural environment is both soothing to the nervous system while enabling the organic development of a companiable relationship between client and therapist.

​

Please contact me if you are interested in discussing fees and arrangements for walking therapy.  All walks are tailored to a person's level of mobility and fitness and weather conditions are always taken into account.

How Many Sessions will I need?

It is impossible to predict how many sessions a person will need before they feel significant benefit.

Everyone's history and present-day circumstances are different.  However, increasingly the research is leading us to recognise that addiction is best thought of as a chronic, long-term, condition.  Therefore, it might be helpful to anticipate coming for repeated blocks of sessions over a longer period as needed.

​

Some people find that a few sessions give them enough insight and skills to go forward on their own for a period of time.   Others like to attend for just a few sessions at a time but return for further input at times over many years.  Others choose to start with a period of weekly sessions and then gradually reduce the frequency.
