Walk & Talk around Mordialloc
Walk & talk therapy combines traditional counselling with gentle movement in nature along Mordialloc’s beautiful foreshore and parklands. It can feel less intense than sitting in a room or on a screen, while still offering a safe, confidential space to talk things through.
Is Walk and Talk Right for You?
Walk & Talk sessions in Mordialloc may suit you if you:
Feel restless, “stuck”, or find it hard to open up in a traditional therapy room
Already enjoy walking by the bay or find nature calming
Experience anxiety, low mood, stress, or life changes and want a more relaxed setting
Prefer side‑by‑side conversation rather than direct eye contact
If you are unsure whether this style of therapy is suitable, we can talk it through together in an initial consultation.
What to Expect in a Session
Sessions usually last 50 minutes and take place around Mordialloc, for example along the beach paths or nearby parks. We will:
Agree on a meeting point and preferred route before your first session
Walk at a pace that feels comfortable for you
Pause to sit if you need a break or want to slow down the conversation
Keep a clear plan for what to do if the weather changes
Just like in regular therapy, you set the pace of what you want to share. The focus is always on your emotional wellbeing, not on fitness or performance.
Privacy, Safety, and Weather
Your safety and confidentiality are taken seriously. Before starting, we will discuss:
How you feel about possibly seeing someone you know while walking locally
What you would like said (if anything) if we pass someone you recognise
Physical needs, mobility, or health considerations that might affect walking
Backup options (such as switching to online video) in case of bad weather
On very hot, wet, or windy days, sessions can easily move online so you do not miss out on support.
