Coaching outdoors, one good walk at a time
From spring to autumn, I offer coaching outdoors — walking the coastline of Whitley Bay and the wider North East. A long walk and a big question turn out to be a surprisingly good combination.
Why coaching outdoors works
There's something about walking side by side that helps people think more clearly. Ideas tend to flow more easily and conversations often feel more natural. Whether we're walking along the coast or through the woods, being outdoors can make it easier to explore challenges honestly and gain perspective on what comes next.
The coaching itself is no different from what I offer indoors or online. You'll still have thoughtful questions, practical support and the space to think things through. Being outdoors just helps some people do their best thinking.
How it works
From April to October, outdoor sessions follow the path you prefer to take. From the coastline of Whitley Bay to the river walks through Durham or in amongst the trees and fields of city centre parks. We pick a route and a pace to suit the conversation. Most sessions last 60 to 90 minutes, with plenty of room to pause and think.
If the weather doesn't cooperate, we move the session indoors or onto Zoom. Nothing is lost; the work continues either way.
Good to know
- Coaching outdoors suits people who think well on the move, or who simply welcome time away from a screen.
- No special equipment is needed — comfortable shoes and a coat for the wind.
- Prefer to start indoors or online? That's always an option, and we can take the coaching outside whenever it feels useful.
If a walking conversation sounds like the right place to start, let's talk.
