Talk & Walk events
Walks for your mind.
Scroll down for this year's group meets around Peterborough & Stamford...
What to expect
Led by me, a qualified psychotherapist and experienced professional hillwalker, these group walks are a safe and confidential space to meet others with a shared love of the outdoors and /or walking.
You will have the chance to talk and share if you feel you want to, but also to just listen to others without judgement. We will all discuss and agree a confidentiality contract at the start.
I will offer guidance for mindfulness and stress relief in nature along the way. There will also be moments of quiet, for reflection or just to de-stress and appreciate the natural surroundings.

The Walk
This 5km group walk takes in the beautiful countryside around the pretty village of Maxey. Heading out around the old quarry lakes, before striding out along quiet river banks with huge skies and tons of birdlife.
Post-Walk refreshments
The wonderful John Clare Cottage Cafe at Helpston, 5 mins drive away, is keen to welcome our group for post-walk refreshments.

"This is a classic walk from the lovely town of Stamford to the Cotswold-like village of Easton on the Hill. Aimed at slightly more energetic Talkers & Walkers it’s a chance to meet like-minded people, as well as a safe space to talk and listen. No expectations, no judgement." - Jenna, Walk leader & Psychotherapist
