Ailsa Robson - Walk and Talk Therapist

02/10/2025

‘Things are going well, so I wasn’t sure what we’d talk about’ I often hear my clients say. As if therapy should really only be booked when you’re not coping.

Then an hour later, after a beautiful walk and talk together, possibly with a take away coffee in hand we’ve:

✨noted some of the challenges you faced before life felt a little easier. Reminding you of how far you’ve come.

✨discussed all the steps you’ve taken to support yourself to make progress. Providing evidence of many steps you hadn’t considered as wins.

✨noticed what boundaries you’ve put in place to ensure more calm in your life. So you can keep giving yourself permission to take care of your own needs.

✨made a checklist how how to take care of yourself when the next inevitable low or difficult set of circumstances appear in your life. Giving you peace of mind you’ll be ok into the future.

Self exploration isn’t just helpful when you’re feeling emotionally low.

Deepening your understanding of what has been helpful to you and improved your emotional health rewires your brain to choose those practices more often.

Our work evolves as you do. 🙌

That’s why I have the pleasure of working with my clients over many years. They know I am here for every ebb and flow they have in their life and they can keep building on their self development as each new challenge or success occurs.

Come walk and talk with me and notice for yourself what it’s like having me in your corner. ☺️

Come sit in this very spot and create your own unique mind map with me by your side.

Enjoy the calming ocean view and be gently guided through therapeutic conversations about your life and your future hopes.

*Available for existing clients or new Immersion Package clients https://www.ailsarobson.com/services

2 hour mind map bookings available Monday mornings and Fridays at Glenelg.

Please DM me or text 0409 868 886 for available dates.

✨Mind mapping in therapy gives your thoughts permission to spill out without judgment. Together, we can gently arrange them so they begin to make sense.✨

A mind mapping session with Ailsa will offer you:

🩵Clarity and calm.
Instead of feeling overwhelmed by competing thoughts, you’ll filter and note what truly matters. What once felt tangled becomes workable.

🩵Visual reminders.
Colours, themes, and patterns help you notice what keeps resurfacing in your life, as well as any areas you may be avoiding.

🩵Deeper self-understanding.
As we build the map together, new questions and connections naturally emerge. With my knowledge of your life stories, these prompts often help you to make meaning of what arises.

🩵A tailored process.
No two mind maps are the same. Each one reflects your unique journey, guided gently by me. It becomes a visual picture of what’s happening in your life now and what you wish for in your future.

🩵Evidence of growth.
Over time, mind maps reveal your shifts and accomplishments, often made through challenging circumstances.

Each map becomes a reflection: ✨this is where I am, this is what matters to me right now, and this is where I’d like to focus my future.✨

Can’t wait to witness what unfolds for you.

Warmest, Ailsa x

After a fervently busy few weeks of work and mothering I had a beautiful weekend celebrating my daughters in their school musical 🎶 💗, watching my daughter play her netball final, speaking at the Stronger Together Mental Health Summit 💫 and then unwinding with dear pals listening to live tunes and eating fabulous food!

It reminded me of many important lessons I often talk about with my clients.

Mary Poppins sums it up in one of her songs…’anything can happen if you let it’.

So let the lessons come, especially when it feels hard…

✨Give it your all and celebrate your effort, regardless of outcome.
✨Seek assistance with your mental health from a professional.
✨Know what you don’t want in your one precious life and set boundaries for yourself.
✨Learn about externalising your inner critic to be kinder to yourself and others.
✨Gather people around you that raise you up.
✨Have fun- add joy and playfulness and music to your life.
✨Always ask for a hug when you need it.
✨Micro dose on gratitude ~find the magic in every mundane moment.
✨Notice your own blooming just like the trees in Spring.
✨And always trust in your own worth.

If this speaks to you reach out.
If you’d like to enhance your therapeutic experience by walking and talking, I’m available in person and online.

On my birthday, after a relaxed dinner at the pub with my girls I thought I’d share some of my thoughts today:

In true Ailsa style I’ve been reflecting about what’s most important in life….and of course it is love. ❤️

Besides the gift of family love, I think that some of the loves of our lives are our friends.

The people that witness in real time our f**kups, and our magical moments, when we literally soar.

They get us through the hardest parts and celebrate our wins with us.

I thank each and every one of my darling friends who have shared even the smallest amount of shenanigans with me 😉💃, to the epic ones who have called me regularly to check in through a tough couple of years.

Whether it’s been a day, or a decade between catch ups you mean so much to me.

You have helped shape the person I am today and I love you for it xx
Thank you. I’m here for it all with you 🥰

Off to celebrate some July birthdays with family 30th June to the 7th July 2025 but I do have some availability prior and post the break and I’d love to walk and talk with you 😌

Autumn is a balance of light and dark;
knowing what you have and what you no longer need.
💛

I live in the Adelaide Hills.
This year it’s been extraordinarily dry and we’ve been longing for rain through the heat of Summer.
Now we’ve slipped ever so casually into Autumn and the mornings are deliciously cooler with dreamy valley mists that dampen the ground.
Our evenings have turned into ideal moments to clutch fluffy blankets and snuggle up to doggos, cats, or loved ones.
We still dream of rain drops on our roof at night- they too will come.

We also have more balance of day and night, and hopefully that is how you feel; somewhat more in balance.

It’s one of my favourite seasons but I know I must eventually let go of my solar powered self and reluctantly succumb to the beginning of winter.

Before I do I’ve been reminiscing on some of the most glorious moments in the heat where I have felt quenched, plumped, and soothed with a renewed sense of hope in my heart, my body and my soul.

I’ve recently returned from Bali where I soaked and rested in its tropical and spiritual beauty.

There I noticed…

🩵Damp dewy skin in humid heat,
🩵Steam from freshly poured tea in a blissfully air conditioned room,
🩵Condensation on the bottom of drinking glasses chinking with ice,
🩵Tropical rain showers,
🩵Wet eyes blinking back loving tears as I gaze at beautiful sights and miss my Aunty Jill,
🩵Warm seawater,
🩵Glistening mantra rays and turtles whilst swimming alongside them,
🩵Tears of laughter mixing with perspiration on my cheeks from dancing with new friends,
🩵Coconut massage oil welling on my body and soaking into my skin,
🩵And trickles of sweat shimmying down my back as I walk along the ocean boardwalk and breathe in the damp salty breeze.

I give thanks for them all 🙏

Are you too feeling solar powered, filled with gratitude and enjoying self reflection?

Are you feeling change brewing like the Autumn leaves beginning to change colour and gently let go from the trees?

What has been serving you? And what hasn't that you can let go?

Or are you in self preservation mode and need an hours break with me to lay down the responsibilities you're carrying?

These are the transformative conversations I'm having with my clients and my friends.

'Life's what happens whilst we're busy making other plans' said John Lennon

Let's walk and talk and witness our lives and changes together.

Let me hold space for you.

Love Ailsa

There’s something dreamy about the first few weeks of January when we ease back into work and/ or continue the holiday vibe.

I love working amongst the leafy green Adelaide Hills landscape during this time. The shaded paths and lush gardens bring so much pleasure to our walk and talk therapy sessions. 🌿🌳🪷

Hopefully you’re enjoying Summertime and making sure you rest when you can.
Maybe resting your mind is something you need to prioritise too. ☺️
That’s where I come in.
I offer outdoor and indoor psychotherapy sessions in Stirling - you can find my calendar openings in my bio link or here - https://AilsaRobsonConsultingAppointments.as.me/

Take a walk with me, enjoy the download and conversation whilst being listened to with depth, care and compassion.
You deserve to be heard and to feel more at ease ☺️

Did 2024 throw you some doozies?

I know you’re nodding along because I’ve been in your corner, witnessing you ride the WTF waves! 😆

And I’m here for it!! Acknowledging your challenges and reminding you of your wins.

If you haven’t nabbed one of my last 2024 sessions then jump in and book a calming hour to reset with me. Next week there are a few spots left in Stirling.

Let’s unpack the year and then set some wonderful intentions for 2025.

Take care in the lead up to Christmas x

Remember self preservation is KEY and not to get caught up in the hype that fuels so much stress at this time.
It’s just one day!

Chill and take care of you and yours.

Much love, Ailsa x

I’m on leave from the 21st Dec to the 7th of Jan.
