I partner with the leading provider of outdoor training in the Peak District, Beyond the Edge, to deliver two-day intensive Fear of Heights courses.

These courses combine psychological theory with graded, practical activities in the beautiful Peak District. We have had a participant who was shaking with fear on a two-foot-high wall at the start of the course complete a walk along a fifty-foot-high ridge by the end!

I also co-run continuing professional development courses on managing anxious clients for leaders.

I partner with the leading provider of outdoor experiences in the Yorkshire Dales – and beyond – Yorkie Talkies Outdoor on their Your Time Out series.

I provide a suite of outdoor walks and retreats that combine mindfulness, connection and nature connection. These experiences help participants slow down, find space for what matters and connect with their fellow participants – and to deepen and rediscover their connection with the natural world.

These days and weekend retreats combine elements of psychology, evolutionary psychology, active mindfulness and the emerging research field of nature connection – with the odd poem or two – and provide an antidote to busyness.

I am a wellbeing lead for Mind Over Mountains day walks and retreats since 2023 and have led events in Eryri (Snowdonia), the Lake District and the Peak District.

These were some of my first experiences taking large groups of participants into nature and seeing the transformative effects that being in natural surroundings can have on our souls, psyche and body.

There is a clear and growing evidence base that positive experiences in natural surroundings are good for human beings and just as importantly, for the natural world they live in.
