Walk & Talk Therapy

Therapy that gets you moving

Walk & Talk therapy is exactly what it sounds like — we meet on a Calgary pathway or in a park and have our session while we walk. It's a legitimate therapeutic approach, not just a casual stroll. The same confidentiality, the same clinical work, just in a different setting.

For some people, movement makes it easier to talk. Sitting across from a therapist in an office can feel intense, and having something to do with your body — walking, looking ahead, being outside — can take some of that pressure off. It's not better or worse than in-person, just different.

Walk & Talk works well for anxiety, stress, and anyone who finds it easier to open up when they're not sitting still. It's available spring through fall in Calgary's SE pathways and parks.

Where we meet

Sessions take place on Calgary's SE pathways and parks. I'll confirm the exact meeting spot when we book. Wear whatever you'd wear for a casual walk.

What to expect

Same session length, same fee, same clinical approach as in-person therapy. We walk at a comfortable pace, this isn't a workout. The conversation is the point.

Who it works well for

People who find it easier to talk while moving, those dealing with anxiety or stress, or anyone who just prefers being outside. It's not the right fit for everyone, and that's fine.

Availability

Walk & Talk is available spring through fall, weather permitting. Virtual sessions are always available as an alternative when the weather doesn't cooperate.
