One small crack does not mean that you are broken,
it means that you were put to the test,
and you didn't fall apart.”

walk & talk
Walking and Talking
If a traditional counselling environment is not your preference, I offer clients the option of ‘walking and talking’, which is a counselling session held outside.
This allows us to connect with nature while we work through whatever it is that brought you here today. It also gives us an opportunity to explore how our surroundings affect our moods and emotions.
I find this is helpful for those who are not comfortable in a traditional counseling environment or prefer to be active during their sessions.
