It’s not often that I hike anymore, I’m usually in the car, travelling around Ireland meeting folk for this project. When Cara suggested a walk & talk style of interview I was intrigued. 

That’s what she does professionally, she’s a psychotherapist who hikes with her clients. It’s a novel and unique idea. She finds that walking with her clients is a perfect distraction for those who might not be able to sit still and concentrate in an office setting (like the neurodivergent amongst us). It’s also a great way to introduce people to therapy who might be a bit sceptical about it. 

Not only do you feel better for chatting, but you also get your steps in and give your lungs some much needed fresh air (if you listen to the end you’ll hear me struggling to survive, proving that I really need to hike more!).
