This is what sets Chat Space Counselling apart.

Out & About sessions offer a truly client-centred approach, meeting in a mutually agreed location where you feel most comfortable — rather than within a traditional, sterile clinic environment.

By stepping outside the office, counselling becomes more flexible, grounded, and personal. Sessions are shaped around what works best for you, creating space for conversations to feel more natural, relaxed, and less pressured.

​

What Are Out & About Sessions?

Out & About sessions are professional counselling sessions that take place in agreed public or outdoor settings, such as:

• A local park

• A coffee shop

• The beach

• Other suitable everyday locations

The focus is on creating a calm, low-pressure environment that supports open conversation while still maintaining appropriate professional boundaries and confidentiality.

​

Why This Approach Works

For many people, the setting plays a big role in how comfortable they feel talking things through. Familiar, everyday environments can reduce formality and make it easier to engage in genuine conversation.

This approach is particularly helpful for those who find traditional counselling rooms uncomfortable or intimidating, or who feel they communicate better in relaxed, side-by-side settings.

Out & About sessions are not about changing the purpose of counselling — they are about delivering it in a way that better fits the individual.

​

A Truly Client-Centred Experience

Out & About sessions are guided by your needs, preferences, and pace. Rather than expecting you to adapt to a set environment, the environment is chosen collaboratively to support your comfort and engagement.

Counselling remains professional, ethical, and supportive — without rigid structure, unnecessary formality, or pressure to talk in a particular way.

Booking an Out & About Session

Because Out & About sessions involve coordinating a suitable time and location for both the client and counsellor, these sessions cannot be booked instantly online.
