Outdoor Therapy.
Into the woods.
I always appreciate a good metaphor to decode the various trials and challenges along life’s path, and if you join me for walk-and-talk therapy, you’ll soon notice how ancient woodland offers these in abundance!
Alongside its symbolic richness, the forest provides a peaceful and calming space to reflect on thoughts, emotions, and questions, away from the noisy interruptions of everyday life.
Sessions will start and end at the same easy-to-find meeting point, close to the car park and facilities. There are public toilets and a small café nearby if you’d like to make use of them before or after our walk.
Free parking is available on site, with an optional donation at the meter. While spaces are usually available, it can get busy at peak times, so please allow yourself extra time to park and arrive calmly for the start of your session.
While the path is public and shared by other walkers (and their dogs) there are often fair stretches in which we have only the birds and trees for company. It is completely up to you whether we spend the full 50 minutes walking, or if you’d prefer to incorporate some time to pause here and there, maybe sitting on a secluded bench or conveniently laid tree log.
The paths through the woods can be uneven, with tree roots, gentle inclines, steps, and the occasional muddy patch. It’s important that you feel physically comfortable with this kind of terrain. If you have any specific requirements or questions, please feel free to get in touch so I can accommodate where possible.
Finally, please dress for the weather and wear sturdy footwear suitable for woodland paths. You’re welcome to bring a water bottle or a warm flask, especially on hot or colder days. The pace will be gentle with plenty of chances to pause, but being comfortable allows you to get the most of the session, surrounded by the quiet steadiness of nature.
Get in touch.
If something here has spoken to you, you’re very welcome to reach out. Whether you have questions, want to arrange an initial session, or just need a little more information, I’d love to hear from you.
