1-1 COACHING IN NATURE
Whoever you are and wherever you are in life, we work in partnership with nature as our nervous systems are soothed in the unique way I facilitate these rewarding sessions.
Together we explore, as you decompress and discover what's most important to you.
SUPERVISION OF COACHING IN NATURE
We encounter what I describe as the '7-eyed model in 3-D'.
I craft nature-based supervision for individuals and groups.
It's extraordinary to reflect outside - a revelation to be deeply immersed in nature.
If you're curious about nature-based work and new to being in an immersive landscape, a trial session is a great place to start.

1-1 Coaching in Nature
Coaching in nature combines the benefits of light physical activity with the powerful restorative powers of the natural environment, offering a truly holistic approach to personal growth and wellbeing.
I facilitate reflection, goal-setting and problem-solving as we move through natural landscapes. Natural settings help my clients disconnect from daily noise and stressors, promoting mindful presence, mental clarity and creativity - this is "a magical way to work".
Walking and pausing enhances focus and introspection, enabling natural deeper insights and breakthroughs. Whether you're seeking to overcome personal challenges, develop professional skills or simply enhance your overall wellbeing, nature-based coaching provides you with wonder-filled, unique and transformative pathways to change.
Supervision of Coaching in Nature
Coaching supervision in nature is a delightful and now well-established approach to professional coaching supervision for coaches. My sessions combine the more traditional coaching supervision methods with the power of the natural environment, naturally informed by ecotherapy principles.
This practice recognises that being outdoors enhances reflection, fosters deeper connections and inspires new perspectives. By stepping outside the confines of conventional settings, we tap into the rich tapestry of nature as a source of inner wisdom, rich metaphor and naturally evolving insights to enhance and embed your coaching practice.
Working with metaphors drawn from nature, such as the resilience of a tree weathering storms or the adaptability of a stream carving its path, coaches can explore complex and ever more subtle themes and challenges. Nature-based supervisory work brings us both movement and stillness - nudging us towards understanding emotional experiences and professional dilemmas, allowing for profound insights and transformative conversations.
As your coaching and the world of our clients continues to evolve, coaching supervision in nature offers a fresh approach to professional development, grounding coach practitioners (individually or as a group) in the wisdom of the naturally complex world that's mirrored in our clients, while fostering a highly supportive environment for growth and reflection.
As a well-established coach supervisor and advanced practitioner forest guide, I look forward to welcoming you into 'my' nature-based supervision space.

Coaching in nature with your dog
Discovery coaching outdoors with your Dog combines the benefits of nature and the companionship of a canine friend to foster personal growth and self-awareness.
Sue incorporates what is to be learnt through the ‘more than human world’. This novel approach leverages the calming and inspiring backdrop of the outdoors to help individuals explore their thoughts, feelings and aspirations with the presence of an element of joy, comfort and connection.
Participating in coaching can feel more relaxed and open as clients
engage in activities such as walking or simply sitting and observing their dog in a natural setting.
Clients experience being guided through deeper observation and reflective exercises that encourage curiosity and clarity. This holistic method promotes physical well-being, creates insight into relationships and enhances mental and emotional resilience, making it a unique and effective way to achieve personal breakthroughs.
Your canine companion will be one that is content to be on a lead (extended lead included) and ideally will have completed a 'short outing' before the session. Please bring water/treats as required.
Walkabout
Walkabout sessions are highly tailored half-day guided experiences in nature, designed to foster time to think and plan ahead.
Participants embark on a journey through natural landscapes, creating space to step away from daily distractions and immerse themselves in the present moment. This experience combines silent walking and thought-provoking prompts alongside conversations with the coach.
The walk-about session incorporates a planning stage at the meeting point or beforehand, to broadly design the discovery experience together. There are unique opportunities to reflect on life-style choices, transition through change, raise situational awareness and to explore approaches to navigating current challenges and future opportunities.
The natural environment serves as both a metaphor and a canvas, encouraging 'looking within', 'looking outside', 'looking between' and alignment with being authentic. Whether focused on decision-making, personal growth or simply reconnecting with nature for re-charging the batteries, the walkabout nurtures calm, clarity, resilience, and renewed purpose.
