Our sessions are made for you
Your wellbeing is at the heart of what we do. We work with you from the very beginning to find out who you are, and what it is you are looking for and why that is important to you. Before you commit to booking and paying for a session with us we take the time via email and video calls to understand your needs and requirements, and to share with you how we think we could be of help. We can discuss what our sessions might look like and take the time to answer any questions or address any concerns that you might have. Once the session is complete you are welcome to keep in touch with us with any follow up questions you may have, and we will do what we can to support you on your journey forwards.
What it means to be bespoke
Adventure days out
Whether you are looking for something as a family, a couple or an individual. We offer extraordinary adventures in the Peak District. We bring with us our unique blend of mindfulness and coaching experience, as well as the safety and professionalism from our background as outdoor activity instructors. We run single and multi day adventures using the natural environment as well as indoor venues such as climbing walls. Activities might include climbing, hillwalking, bushcraft, mindfulness, yoga and of course coaching conversations.
Our focus is on helping you to have the best experience possible and to really find the sense of joy, excitement and awe that comes from spending time in nature. Let us know what you would like, and we can make it happen for you.

"What a magical 3 days spent on our climbing adventure. As a family of 4 of different ages and ability we all went on our own personal journey and each of us were challenged in different ways. Tom and Laura made us all feel relaxed and it was more than just a climbing experience. We will definitely be recommending to our friends"
-
"...The weekend was a fantastic experience made just by how lovely both Tom and Laura were to spend time with, talk with and learn off. There was absolutely no pressure and the main emphasis was on fun and enjoyment with everyone feeling totally comfortable throughout. Both Tom and Laura had fantastic insights not only into the physical but also the mental side of outdoor climbing which helped me a lot..."
-
"...We had an online meeting prior to our session to chat about what we are looking for and they then adapted our session spot on to what was discussed. We have found both really supportive and professional which made us feel really comfortable and safe. We also talked about mental strategies which are really helpful and have proven themselves as being really effective making us climb harder routes than previously. Overall truely recommendable."
Coaching for Climbers
Tom has been providing coaching for rock climbers for many years now. He doesn’t place his focus on performance, instead he helps climbers to connect with their motivations and enjoyment of climbing. Interestingly, many climbers find that an outcome of placing their focus in this context is that they flow better on the rock, and get more climbing achieved during their sessions.
Tom is commonly contacted by climbers who are finding they have certain psychological and physiological blockages towards their enjoyment of climbing. Not all coaching sessions need to involve climbing, and sometimes online or in-person coaching conversations or attendance on a mindfulness course will be the most useful way forwards.

"I have benefited so much from my coaching sessions with Tom over recent years...not only have I progressed as a climber but I have found the techniques that Tom has helped me with directly transferable into day to day life. Tom is one of those quietly confident, hugely competent people with a great heart who just leaves the world a bit better than he found it each day.."
-
"...The session was very gentle and involved no falling - which surprised me! Tom is a pleasure to climb with - I was 100% at ease with him, totally trusted his advice and he is in generally a really nice guy to spend a couple of hours with. I've come away with several techniques to help me climb calmer and more positive.."
-
"..The best thing about Tom is his easy and reassuring manner, I instantly feel safe around him, and he creates a very safe and comfortable atmosphere in his sessions. This leads to a very productive session, and every time I have seen him I come away feeling very positive about my climbing and ready to jump on things I would previously have been too scared to try.."
