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.
