Experience the healing power of nature and counselling.
Our Walk and Talk Ecotherapy program takes therapy outdoors and into nature.
Awareness is increasing that our physical environment can aid in the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of mental health issues, and more specifically, exposure to natural environments can have many added benefits.
Green space is linked to lower stress levels, less anxiety and fewer depression symptoms and spending time in nature helps us to relax and think more clearly. When you spend time in a natural environment, you’re more likely to use your senses to experience your surroundings. Calming sounds, like birds chirping or the rustling of leaves, can help you detach from traffic, work conflict, and ordinary stressors of everyday life.

VIDEO: WALK AND TALK THERAPY AND HOW IT WORKS
We act as your guide towards healing and growth.
The key difference between ecotherapy and recreation is the presence of a trained practitioner or therapist. As trained Walk and Talk therapists, we know how to facilitate beneficial interactions with the natural environment as we work towards reaching your goals.
Please note: All new clients require an Initial Consultation and Intake Session before booking their first Walk and Talk. Initial Consultations are complimentary. Please refer to our Practice Policies for more information.
