“I've always thought that therapy sessions would be better on the person's home turf, somewhere where they're comfortable. But if I was to do a walk in nature with someone and chat, that's fine, and then just get my feet on the sand and walk along the water or something, it's just that emotion as well I find absolutely well.”
