At Peninsula Acupuncture & Natural Medicine, we’ve always believed in treating the whole person — body and mind. Alongside our natural therapies, we also offer Counselling and Psychotherapy, including a unique option called Walk and Talk Therapy.
Instead of sitting indoors, Walk and Talk Therapy takes sessions outside. It might involve a gentle walk to Mornington Pier, sitting at Mornington Park, or strolling along the foreshore. Many clients find this setting more relaxed and free-flowing than a traditional counselling room.
Why Try Walk and Talk Therapy?
It can reduce pressure compared with face-to-face settings.
Movement supports stress relief and emotional regulation.
Nature offers a calming, grounding environment.
It feels less formal, helping some people open up more easily.
This approach can be especially helpful for men, teenagers, and neurodivergent clients, or simply anyone who feels more comfortable outdoors.
