Walking therapy has the advantages of both walking outdoors and counselling. It is calming, soothing and liberating. People often feel better immediately because it:
1. Is easy, natural and relaxing to be outdoors or out in
a natural environment.
2. Doesn’t require a lot of eye contact and it is more
comfortable to walk and talk side by side
than in an office.
3. Allows you to think clearly and creatively about
your problems. Therefore, find solutions quicker.
4. Is healthy and uplifting because walking improves
your health and energy levels, so you sleep better and
feel more energetic.
5. Is destressing, soothing, calming and nice to be
outdoors or walk in nature. So you fret less about
your problems.
6. Is suitable for everyone. You set your own walking
pace, from a gentle stroll to a brisk pace – whatever
you are comfortable with.
