Course Overview

Walk & Talk Therapy is an experiential counselling approach that combines talk therapy and rhythmic exercises, such as walking. It has proven to be conducive to the therapeutic process of self-discovery and healing.

• It taps on the “healing power of nature” which is often regarded as good and positive
