In short, it’s coaching outside! The process of coaching stays the same, but the environment changes how we think and feel.
Being outdoors often helps people think more freely and creatively. Nature offers calm, space, and perspective. As with all my coaching, the session is led by you. We might walk, sit, or simply pause and reflect at a pace that suits you.

I usually meet clients at Norfolk Park in Sheffield. It’s a beautiful, accessible green space close to the city centre, within walking distance of the train station and on major bus routes. There’s also easy parking for cars and bikes.

Not at all! We won’t be hiking. Norfolk Park has wide, paved paths and plenty of benches. We’ll move at a pace that suits you, and there’s no need to walk any particular distance. If you’d rather stay in one place, that’s completely fine.

Norfolk Park has a friendly café and accessible toilet facilities.

I like the saying “there’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing,” but I know it’s not for everyone. If the weather isn’t on our side, we can move our session to the café instead.
My usual policy of 48 hours’ notice applies if you want to reschedule or move online. If there’s a Yellow or higher Met Office weather warning, that notice period reduces to 24 hours.

Yes. I use Norfolk Park because it’s accessible, with wide paved routes, benches, and no steps. There are also accessible toilets nearby. The park is generally quiet on weekdays outside school holidays.
Sheffield’s hills may be a challenge for manual wheelchairs, but we can adapt the route or stay in one spot if that’s more comfortable. If coaching outdoors appeals to you but you have questions about accessibility, please get in touch so we can plan what works best.

If you can’t travel to Sheffield, I also offer Zoom coaching.
Depending on distance and the number of sessions booked (usually ten or more), we can explore other suitable green spaces. If travel is involved, I may add a small travel cost.

Wear something comfortable and weather-appropriate, along with shoes you’re happy to walk in. You might want to bring a drink, notebook, or anything that helps you feel at ease outdoors.

Yes. The same confidentiality standards apply as in all coaching. I choose quiet routes and spaces that allow for privacy, and we can pause or adjust if others are nearby.

Not necessarily. Some clients enjoy a gentle walk; others prefer to spend most of the time sitting and reflecting. The pace and flow are led by you.

Absolutely. Many clients like to combine the two as it suits them.
