Walk & Talk Therapy

The same depth focused work, outdoors.

For those who think more clearly when they’re moving

What is walk & talk therapy?

Walk and Talk therapy takes the session outside. Same approach, same depth, different container. For some people, being in nature and in motion makes it easier to access what's underneath.

Sessions are guided by your pace and your needs. We find locations that feel private and calm, and we do the same work we'd do in clinic. Looking at what's happening beneath the surface, noticing patterns, tracking what comes up in your body as we move.

Walk and Talk is available across the Gold Coast and Northern NSW, from Brunswick Heads to Broadbeach.

Who is this for?

Walk and Talk suits people who find movement grounding, who feel more open when they're not sitting face to face, or who simply want to do their therapeutic work in a different kind of space. The presenting problems are exactly the same as individual therapy, this is just a different way of doing the work.

  • Anxiety

  • Depression, low mood, or loss of motivation

  • Complex trauma and childhood trauma

  • Relationship issues, conflict, or attachment wounds

  • Stress, burnout, or difficulty coping

  • Low self-esteem, self-worth challenges, or self-doubt

  • Identity questions, self-discovery, or feeling “lost”

  • Grief, loss, or unexpected life changes

  • Major life transitions (parenthood, career change, separation)

  • Communication problems or repeating unhealthy patterns

What to expect

Before your first session, we'll hold a brief call to discuss confidentiality, privacy, safety, and whether this format is the right fit for you.

Out of office sessions are scheduled around clinic hours, and are therefore available Tuesday - Thursday and Saturday afternoon. Once bookings for a session day are confirmed, a route is mapped and exact times confirmed. This approach requires scheduling flexibility and may not suit everyone.

Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. Bring water and a hat if needed. Sunglasses are fine for sun protection but worth removing when we're in conversation. Eye contact matters for the work we're doing.

Why this kind of therapy works

Movement supports emotional processing

Walking helps release tension and regulate the body’s stress response, making it easier to access and work through difficult emotions.

Nature enhances clarity and calm

Being outdoors provides fresh air, natural oxygenation, and grounding surroundings that reduce anxiety and improve focus.

Clinically supported

Recent clinical studies found that participants who engaged in walk & talk therapy showed reductions in psychological distress and improvements in well‑being, citing that the calming outdoor setting and movement helped them express themselves more freely and gain perspective.

Common questions

  • Sessions are designed to be flexible. In cases of severe weather, sessions can be rescheduled, moved online, or held in clinic to ensure safety and comfort.

  • Sessions are offered outside standard office hours, typically on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, or Saturdays. Once all out of office bookings for a day are confirmed, a route is mapped and exact times are provided, so your session can fit efficiently along the route. This approach to therapy does require some flexibility and may not be suitable for all schedules.

  • Wear comfortable shoes and clothing suitable for walking and the weather. You may also want water or a hat depending on the season. Sunglasses may be necessary but are not typically encouraged as seeing each other’s eyes is important for connection and emotional attunement.

  • We only work in locations that are quiet, private, and appropriate for the kind of conversation we're having. Routes are planned in advance with this in mind. If we encounter other people, we simply pause or move the conversation to something neutral until we have privacy again. In practice, this is rarely an issue. It's always something I'm actively managing so you don't have to think about it.
