Walk‑and‑talk counselling is an outdoor, in‑person session where we meet in natural settings in Brant County and nearby communities.

Each session is tailored to your needs. You can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space to:

Sessions often include discussion, skill-building, and tools to use between meetings.

• Standard sessions are 50 minutes.

• New clients begin with a complimentary 20-minute consultation to discuss needs, answer questions about the counselling process, and determine fit.

All sessions are delivered in accordance with OCSWSSW ethical standards.

Virtual and walk-and-talk counselling are not crisis services. If you are in immediate danger, experiencing suicidal thoughts, or need urgent mental health support, please:

• Contact Canada’s Crisis Line by calling or texting 988

• Reach out to your local crisis line

I can help connect clients to additional support resources outside of sessions.
