Hello, My name is Andrea and I have been living on the Bay in the Redlands  Shire for the last 14 years with my husband, 2 grown-up kids, and are beloved Dog. I set up my private practice in March of this year. Locally based in Cleveland I offer a walk and talk therapy throughout the whole of the Redlands and as far as Manly and Wynnum. I also offer Zoom, Telehealth, and face-to-face counselling. I'm currently completing my major in Relationship counseling and conflict resolution. I also have a Mental Health First aid certificate and I am registered as a Counsellor with ACA. I am currently offering a mobile service for couples counselling within the Redlands. I created this service last month to help couples get the help they need without complicating things with babysitters, but also to feel secure in the comfort of their own home.  Walka and talk therapy is by far my most popular service for all age groups and genders. Walking and talking is a natural activity. Most people can relate to enjoying going for a walk and chatting to a friend or family member and the conversation flowing freely.Often guys don't want to sit on a couch and share their personal feelings. It can be confronting opening up to a counsellor and feel scrutinised. I offer traditional counselling at my home office or online as some appointments require a more structured appointment.Counselling while walking and talking feels more like "doing" something. It is practical, active and connects the mind and body positively, rather than sitting passively and distracted by thoughts of what you else you should be doing at the time. Also, moving from face-to-face to walking alongside removes some of the discomfort that many people (Not just men) feel when sitting across from someone and talking about personal or painful things.
