Let's take a Peaceful Stride towards your healing today
Hi, I'm Britni!
Registered Psychologist
Hello! My name is Britni Voshell; I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists. I take a person-centered approach and provide individual counselling to teens and adults. My therapeutic style is empathetic, empowering, and genuine. I hope to provide you a warm, supportive, and safe space to help tackle the struggles of everyday life.
I have been in the counselling field for many years and have found myself yearning to take my sessions outdoors. Whether that be walking, sitting, or playing games, it's truly just the need to feel the outdoors and see nature that can help relax the body for me.
I am a mom and I know how busy life can be. I have found that when I am outside my life seems to slow down again (even if it's for a brief moment). With how challenging life can be these days, we really just need that moment to slow down. So, I look forward to slowing down with you.
What is Walking Therapy?
Walking therapy, also known as, walk and talk therapy, is a form of therapy that takes place outside in parks, on trails, or benches in nature. The therapist walks side by side while you set the pace. This allows us to take sessions outside while enjoying sun and soothing sights & sounds.
Benefits of Walk & Talk Therapy
Walk and talk therapy combines physical activity, counselling, and nature all in one session. Research has shown walking outdoors (regardless of pace) helps to manage symptoms of depression and anxiety along with other health conditions. While time in nature has been shown to improve mood and reduce stress levels.
I like to think of walk and talk therapy as nourishing your mind, body, and soul all at once.
