Outdoors or Online!

I’ve been walking with clients for a few years now. I began in Manchester City Centre, finding quiet spots amongst the hustle and bustle of the city. I now walk with people in various green parks around Manchester and Cheshire. 

It’s a very important part of my practice, and I’m passionate about the benefits of walking and talking.

I would love to pass on what I’ve learned from many walks with clients so you can make walk and talk a part of your practice, too. 

What’s included in the training?

For an investment of £170, this 90-minute practical CPD training will provide ALL the information you need to start walking with clients outdoors.

It will fully focus on you and include the following aspects of Walking Therapy:

  • Walking Practice
  • Assessments
  • Setting Boundaries
  • Health and Safety Considerations
  • How to bring Nature and Mindfulness into Walking Therapy.

Who is CPD Walking Therapy Training for?

  • You’re a qualified and fully registered counsellor, psychotherapist, psychologist or coach.
  • You’re registered with the appropriate professional body.
  • You are aware of your membership body’s current ethical guidelines and procedures.
  • You hold an up-to-date DBS certificate.

What are the benefits of taking your practice outdoors?

Benefits

  • You get to move!!
  • Being outdoors provides both therapist and client a screen break and an opportunity to move.
  • It can be helpful for some clients to be side-by-side walking with you rather than making full eye contact across a therapy room.
  • It can provide grounding and stabilisation through movement and offers an opportunity to process painful emotions while moving the body.
  • As we walk, we get a boost of endorphins and feel-good chemicals 
  • Nature provides a natural grounding experience.
  • Clients often report feeling less claustrophobic and having more space to breathe, think and feel in outdoor spaces.

Is Walk and Talk Therapy right for your practice?
