Walking the Path 5 Sussex Street, Glenelg, South Australia 5045

Welcome to Walking the Path, a unique institution located in Glenelg, Sussex Street, Australia. At Walking the Path, we believe that life is a journey filled with twists, turns, and unexpected experiences that shape our growth as individuals. We are dedicated to helping you become more intentional and purposeful in the path you choose, leading to a more fulfilling and enjoyable life.

Our approach to counseling is centered around the concept of 'Parts of Self', which views individuals as a collective of different aspects or 'parts'. Through internal relationship building and self-leadership, we aim to support your journey towards wholeness and authenticity. During our sessions, we will explore the various parts of your internal system that influence your thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Together, we will uncover your authentic self and cultivate self-compassion and self-love.

In addition to traditional counseling techniques, we offer mindfulness practices, meditation techniques, somatic processes, and nature therapy tools. These tools will help you deepen your connection to your body, nature, and access the healing and transformational support offered by the natural world.

We understand the importance of creating a comfortable and nurturing environment for our clients. That's why we offer sessions in various locations, including nature spaces in the Adelaide Hills, by the beach, or in the Parklands. We also have offices in Glenelg and Mitcham for those who prefer indoor sessions. For clients who are unable to attend in-person sessions, we provide fully online counseling options for interstate and overseas clients.

Our inspiration for nature-based counseling comes from observing the wisdom of Indigenous communities in Central Australia. They would often gather in nearby nature spaces to engage in meaningful conversations. We believe that nature provides the perfect backdrop for decision-making and self-reflection. Whether it's the feel of grass beneath your feet or the gentle touch of the wind, nature has a way of helping us remember what we may have forgotten.

Our founder, Liv, has a personal connection to the transformative power of counseling. After experiencing profound personal growth through counseling, she pursued a Masters of Counseling Practice and became a counselor herself. Liv believes that stepping outside the four walls of traditional counseling settings allows for greater healing and transformation. By immersing ourselves in nature, we tap into the limitless possibilities for growth and self-discovery.

We understand that everyone has different needs and preferences. That's why we offer a range of options, including outdoor sessions in natural spaces, indoor sessions in private offices, and online sessions for those who require flexibility. Our nature-based sessions are particularly beneficial for individuals with tendencies towards anxiety or avoidance, racing thoughts, and those who feel more at ease in natural environments.

If you're seeking a counselor who is thoughtful, understanding, and creates a safe, non-judgmental space, Liv is here for you. She has helped numerous clients understand and embrace different aspects of themselves, fostering forgiveness and love for characteristics they once rejected. Many clients have referred others to Liv, and we highly recommend reaching out to her for clarity and support in any situation you may be facing.

At Walking the Path, we are committed to guiding you on your personal journey of growth and self-discovery. We invite you to explore our services and take the first step towards a more intentional and fulfilling life.
