Tom started teaching outdoor activities in 2011, and quickly became interested in how coaching and communication could have a positive effect for helping people to build their confidence.

Tom has spent much of his career working with young people from challenging and disadvantaged backgrounds, he has also worked as a coach with charities, corporations and frontline workers.

Tom has studied and trained in many forms of coaching and effective ways to communicate. He places a strong emphasis on the importance of self care, especially through the practice of Mindfulness and meditation. He is known for his ability to put people at ease quickly and his calm, playful and authentic approach. He uses outdoor space, nature and movement to create an environment that allows the focus of attention to move towards feelings of wellbeing.
