Nature Based Coaching

Coaching with a difference – in touch with our inner natures, in tune with the natural world!

“What I really liked about James’ style of coaching was his natural ability to connect with you, making it an easy journey where experimenting with thoughts is allowed and not always in a confined space of an office.”

About Nature Based Coaching

Nature Based Coaching is a thought-provoking and creative process that is informed by our relationships with the natural world. It involves partnering with Nature as well as each other, and typically takes place outdoors – either face to face or remotely.

Benefits include:

☆ Increased calmness and creative thinking
☆ Expanded horizons and an increased sense of possibility
☆ Deeper connection and oneness with the natural world
☆ Greater life satisfaction and self esteem
☆ Becoming inspired to make a difference for Nature.

Connecting with Nature has been shown to reduce anxiety, and enables us to feel calmer and more positive, with a greater capacity for creative thinking. Nature connection has been shown to lead to 3.5x more action for Nature. You can read more about why coach with nature here.

“James’ use of nature also allowed me to connect more closely to nature in a beautiful way and get support from nature. I will be spending more time sitting in the garden paying attention to the birds and plants.”

About Leadership and executive coaching

Coaching helps you become who you really want to be – for yourself, the people around you, and the work you want to do in the world.

We work with people navigating a change, transition or challenge in their lives. You might be an established manager or executive, founder or individual contributor. We have experience across sectors, from start ups to FTSE100 business, in science and tech, environment and sustainability, academia, government and the NHS – anywhere in the world.

The kinds of things people bring to coaching include:

☆ Career and life planning
☆ Imposter ‘syndrome’ / self confidence
☆ Boosting self esteem
☆ Finding purpose
☆ Vision and strategy
☆ Better relationships – at work, and at home
☆ Interview preparation, performance and success
☆ Public speaking

Often, clients find themselves exploring deep questions – what do I really want from life, or my career? What is my purpose in the world, and how do I live it? How can I give back to my community and to the planet? It can be very rewarding work.

“At the end of my last session I felt I had moved away from a smallness or more fragile way of thinking from the first session to focus more on how best to embrace the strengths and the opportunities of being me. This made me feel excited, inspired and strong.”

Project Director

Whether it was our outdoor sessions or deep conversations, James helped me find a sense of peace amidst the chaos, and gave me the tools to make more intentional decisions moving forward.

Founder

“The entire coaching experience was very positive, James is a clear communicator and a great motivator. Which all resulted in my successfully passing the interview and landing the job.”

About ADHD and neuro-inclusive coaching

Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a condition that – if left unmanaged – can lead to serious life impacts.

I am an Accredited ADHD Coach who recognises the challenges neurodivergent people may be facing, and plays to the many strengths of the condition. I create a safe, non-judgmental space for us to help you thrive.

We can do that remotely, or face to face. Many clients like to work with me outdoors, with the benefit of a connection to Nature. We are experts in how Nature can help us feel calmer, more focused and more grounded. You can download a free ‘ADHD & Nature’ Toolkit from our site today.

If you’d like to find out how ADHD coaching could help you, you can book a free 30 minute call.

“I thoroughly recommend James as an excellent coach and especially for people with ADHD brains.”

Improving mental health and wellbeing through coaching

“I’m learning how to become less of a harsh critic on myself and this in turn has given me greater perspective on the control I have over my thoughts and my relationships.”

About Mental health coaching

We all have mental health, but sometimes we struggle when it’s not as good as we’d like.

I am a qualified mental health coach. I provide a safe, therapeutic space for people to find ways to manage common mental health conditions – including stress and anxiety, to recover from burnout, and to enhance wellbeing.

“I feel honoured to have had the privilege of working with James as a coach. He creates a safe environment which allows you to open, share, be vulnerable and grow.”

Communications consultant

“Working with James was a truly transformative experience. He guided me through a particularly tough period in my life, and his calming influence was incredibly powerful.”
