When you think of counselling, what comes to mind? Maybe 2 people sitting facing each other talking. But that’s not going to work for everyone.

So today I’m going to explore walk and talk counselling with counsellor Eileen Fisher.

We’ll take a look at her experience of offering this type of counselling so you can consider whether it’s something you want to offer in your own practice - or even for your own counselling. 

We talk about:

• How she got into walk and talk counselling
• The benefits of walk and talk counselling
• Is this more useful for a certain type of person?
• How do you choose where to walk
• Should you charge more for walk and talk counselling?
• How do you approach safety?
• How to handle confidentiality?
• Can I do this if I’m in an urban area?
• What about insurance?
• How to handle bad weather
• Introducing creativity

Eileen has such a calm and reassuring voice, I could talk to her all day.

So over to you, is this something you’d be interested in doing?

Well if you are and you’d like a chat with Eileen, she offers a power hour where you can get together and get your questions answered.

And as she mentioned, if you are in the Greater Manchester area, you could even have your chat while on a walk - how cool is that? CLICK HERE to learn about walk and talk therapy for therapists
