Walk and Talk therapy is just therapy while walking instead of therapy in an office setting! The counselling and psychotherapy component is the same with an added element of relaxation and (often) deeper ability to process the experience in a low pressure setting.

What are the benefits of Walk and Talk Therapy?
1) Exercise has been proven to manage symptoms to depression, anxiety, sleep disorders and other health concerns.
2) Research shows that movement/exercise has a positive impact on brain function and the ability to learn.
3) Time in nature has been shown to be relaxing and allow for improved mood.
4) Walking therapy can reduce some of the feeling of pressure that is encountered during in-office session. Talking in a face-to-face setting can cause anxiety for some clients, but walking next to each other allows for a more relaxing interaction and often results in deeper engagement.
5) Walk and Talk therapy doesn’t always have to involve a lot of talking! It is an excellent opportunity to work with your therapist to rehearse and develop mindful awareness skills. (Learning to step under your brain’s racing thoughts and exist in the moment.)
6) Walk and Talk therapy can be used as a part of your exposure therapy program!

Spiritual Direction is a form of soul care, a time where the Spiritual Director meets with the directee in a safe, confidential space, to explore together the directee’s journey in life.

We all live busy lives and at times need to sit with someone who helps to ask the right questions to lead us deeper into our relationship with God and how God is working in our life.

A Spiritual Director is not a counsellor, nor an advisor, nor a pastor, nor a life coach. They are a facilitator or guide on the journey of life with the directee. They together listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit and through spiritual practices like contemplative prayers, Lectio Divina, gospel contemplation and silence, discern together the presence of God in our lives.
