Walking Therapy

A number of people find the anticipation of working with a therapist to be a daunting prospect.  Particularly at the beginning, a 1 hour session can feel too short to develop trust in their therapist and still have time to talk about what is really difficult.  However, longer than this, whether in a therapy office or on-line, can feel too tiring and intense.  Therefore, I also offer extended sessions of 'walking therapy'.  

​

These are sessions can be of any duration but are usually between 1.5 - 3 hours and mostly take place around the riverside towns of Brecon and Builth Wells and in the surrounding areas. They are highly flexible and adapted to suit the individual person.  We might walk in parkland or open countryside, depending on what will be most helpful and suitable.  I use gentle paced, mindful walking, interspersed with periods of sitting and resting to allow you the space and time you need to explore what is important to you.  

​

This extended time-period allows trust to develop; the physical activity of walking has a grounding effect and the natural environment is 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.
