Do you know that I don’t just collect sea glass on my walk and talks… elsewhere I often see glints of green glass on the ground at significant points in therapeutic conversations 💚

They are little calling cards to remind me that something pivotal is happening in the conversation. Today held one of those moments and it reminded me to notice the seasons of change, the turning of the leaves, final harvests, and how delightful the Autumn sun feels right now.

That regardless of what’s happening in your life, change is inevitable. Sometimes that feels scary, other times it is welcomed with open arms.

What changes are you noticing in your life right now? What intentions are you setting during the changes? Are you paying attention to glints and sparkling moments in your day, and are you moving toward finding more?

Come walk and talk with me… together we can notice life’s treasures and you can remember who you really are and what you really want for your own precious life.

Let’s go 💚🍁✨🌳🌊

What was your first word as a baby?

Today I had the delight of hearing “wow” from a dear client’s child. It’s their first word and what a magnificent one to begin their journey through life with wonder, curiosity and joy! 🤩

Holding curiosity and wonder as an initial response to whatever you encounter in your day to day life can provide you the ability to pause, open your mind and heart, and consider infinite possibilities and opportunities to connect with the world.

Psychologically, the act of pausing and becoming curious helps regulate the nervous system by interrupting automatic threat responses and creating space for reflection rather than reactivity.

The stories we form in our minds through our own lived experience and perspective inform the way we respond to people and situations, yet the assumptions we make are purely our own and not necessarily the truth in other people’s minds.

Miscommunication and conflict can often soften when we pause, assess the story our mind has created, and gently check in with the other person before assuming we know the full picture.

When we practice using curiosity over judgement, we enhance our relationships, improve communication and open the door to more helpful and connected outcomes.

We also allow ourselves the opportunity to experience the beauty, joy and wonder of this world, from intriguing or colourful flowers, to bright big buses that drive past and make little ones say *wow*

From the mouth of babes hey?! 🥰

If you’d like to learn more about enhancing your communication and relationships through the use of curiosity, I can guide you through some very simple and effective steps.

Book in a free chat before booking in a session and we can determine if I’m a therapist you’d like to work with. Link in my bio or DM me.

Tweaking some of my marketing lately has quietly clarified something important to me- my knowledge of, and trust in Walk and Talk Therapy as I offer it.

When I began, I was the only walk and talk therapist I knew of in Adelaide, and now after almost a decade in practice offering nature based therapy, I’ve seen again and again how powerful it is to walk alongside someone, listening to their stories whilst being immersed in nature.

People settle. Their nervous system softens. They speak more freely. And without pushing or forcing anything, things begin to make more sense.

It’s not just therapy outdoors- it’s a different way of accessing knowledge about yourself and my clients simply love it (as do I 🥰).

And if you’re looking for walk and talk therapy in Adelaide, you’d be in very experienced hands (and feet 😅) 👣

Warmest, Ailsa

There’s nothing better than feeling like you can pull up stumps and have your family fed and watered by friends❣️

As always Denny, Andrew and crew came up with the goods. What a meal! 🙌
Just what the girls and I needed- great food and an opportunity to hang together and chat.

I love exploring restaurants with you Lil & Tess…you’re always keen to try something new (this time steak tartare! 🥩)

Hi, I’m Ailsa Robson, a counsellor and psychotherapist and here is a reintroduction to my work 🩵

I’m a psychotherapist who works with thoughtful, capable people who look like they’re coping on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or anxious underneath.

I offer a calm, practical space, often whilst walking in nature, where we untangle what’s going on in your mind and help you move forward with clarity.

Walk and Talk is optional but adored by my clients.

It will always be your choice on the day.

I have comfortable indoor therapy spaces for when you’d prefer to sit, and also offer online zoom sessions.

I have had my private practice for a decade, and work with professionals who live very dynamic lives but would like to more clarity and calm.

I love my work and the opportunity to create meaningful positive change in people’s lives.

Your story counts and you matter.

I offer a no obligation free phone call for you to check if we’re a good therapeutic fit before booking a session.

Pearls of wisdom from my half functioning (ill) brain…

If you can’t fathom your big goals or find purpose in your day at the moment then look for micro doses of joy instead (a beam of light warming your face, the gentle weight of your puss cat or doggo’s body against you, the sound of birdsong).
Finding meaning can also make your heart happier (reaching out to a friend with a voice note, doing something small for someone else that brings meaning to their and your day)
Adding these small moments of joy and meaning adds up and creates positive change in your mindset and in your life.

If you’d like to learn more about how to do this get in touch (link in bio) or send me a DM.

Ailsa ☺️

Core memories were made together yesterday. My heart is so happy 🥰

Have you ever felt uncomfortable in your body?

Body neutrality sits at the centre of my work with people who feel uneasy, critical, or disconnected from their bodies.

I share a history of body shame. I’ve lived in a body that’s been smaller and larger at different times, and it’s one of the least interesting things about me.

What matters far more is noticing when I feel steady or anxious, free or preoccupied, trusting or at war with myself and responding with care.

Recently, I had the privilege of hearing Kristy speak at Sustainher about supporting women to feel worthy. I recognised immediately how aligned our compassionate, sustainable philosophies are.

There was no shame in the room, only strength, curiosity, and respect for the many ways women inhabit their bodies.

So many of us carry internal stories about what our bodies “should” look like. These narratives are shaped by family, culture, medicine, media, and years of comparison, and many people quietly conclude they’re the problem. They’re not.

In therapy, we shift that. We build trust, calm, and confidence beyond appearance. My work is size inclusive and evidence based. Weight doesn’t equal health, and it certainly doesn’t equal worth.

Body neutrality protects you against the shifting, often unattainable, and frequently edited standards of beauty and it creates space for a more peaceful, sustainable relationship with yourself.

If you’d like support to feel more at home in yourself, you can book a free intro chat via the link in bio or DM me 😊

Warmest, Ailsa
