Walking and Talking in Nature

WALKING AND TALKING:

IN NATURE

The Walking and Talking in Nature group connects people to create meaningful friendships with

each other.

Facilitated by one of our qualified Counsellors, Andrew Cox.

The group runs every Tuesday from 10:30am to 12:30pm, meeting outside the Visitor Centre at Hartsholme Park.

Andrew will lead the group on a leisurely walk around the park and participants can have a general chat, with the opportunity to talk about their mental health and wellbeing.

There will be mindfulness techniques throughout the walk, and time to speak to Andrew as a therapist and meet others too.

Regular Group Therapy Sessions

We have a regular group therapy session which allows you to mix with other people who are feeling the same as you.. It is a one-hour drop-in format, which includes chatting with peers and an NWCH facilitator.

There is also a closed Facebook group just for ManChat attendees where you can continue the conversation outside of your group and arrange extra activities outside of the group meetings.

The group meets face to face at our Counselling Hub in Lincoln.

LEARN about the area...

Andrew is also a herbalist, so you can learn about the plants and nature around the area too!

Anyone over the age of 18 can participate and you can just book and turn up, you don't need to be referred via our Counselling Hub. We will just ask for a few basic details on arrival.

In the event of bad weather on the day of your booking, the group will meet in the Café at Hartsholme Park instead of going on the walk and we will provide a cup of tea or coffee on these occasions.

My son is opening up to Wayne about all aspects of losing his Dad - happy memories and the painful truth that he won’t be coming back. Wayne has taught him to acknowledge the pain but also remember the many happy times. The counselling he has had with Wayne has been invaluable.

Coming in for couples counselling, we were both nervous about how the session would work having not done anything like this before.

He listened to each of us and made it feel very light-hearted and easy. We were able to share our feelings and thoughts and Ian gently guided us to explain our views to help us see each other’s views and gave us things to think about for next week.

Personally, I was a very sceptical individual and initially attended as a good Will gesture to my family who had encouraged me to do so……. that being said I found myself to be able to talk to (let’s be honest, a stranger) about my life and its difficulties in an open and comfortable fashion……. don’t get me wrong I’m no soft touch! But I found it genuinely comforting to be able to do so! …. it makes me ask and look for answers from myself ….. rather than someone with a title telling me what’s wrong……,

The match of counsellor has meant my husband looks forward to his sessions & already is feeling happier & we as a family are seeing a difference. It is detail like this that makes asking for help via the NW Counselling Hub stand out – plus the reassurance all counsellors are qualified.

We cannot recommend the NW Counselling Hub enough and thank them for all they are doing for our family.

“We want to support our team when ‘life happens’. We asked NWCH to be our ‘go to’ support service for counselling and emotional support to help members of our team, if they need it, get them through some difficult personal issues such as bereavement and anxiety. The team at the hub are incredibly supportive and have provided a lifeline to our team”
