Outdoor Coaching and Supervision
Coaching and supervising in the outdoors brings a whole new co-facilitator to the conversation. Nature offers a message here, a metaphor there and wisdom beyond any of our human years.
I’ve seen again and again how stepping outside can shift something inside. Coaching and supervising outdoors — whether in the woods, by the sea, or just under an open sky — brings a different kind of clarity. There’s something about being in nature that invites deeper thinking, fresh perspectives and space to breathe. It has shown me just how much the natural world can spark insight, offer perspective, and help us hear ourselves more clearly.

Let the wild in — and see what it reveals. 🌿
Why does this matter for coaching and coach supervision?
Well there’s a reason that being in nature feels so good and it’s worth pausing to think about why it has such a powerful effect.
Research shows that spending just two hours a week in nature can lower blood pressure, calm stress hormones, boost the immune system, lift self-esteem, ease anxiety and brighten mood. Being outdoors also helps us feel less isolated and more at ease — and the effects last long after we head back inside. Even something as simple as listening to birdsong or breathing in the scents released by trees can bring measurable benefits to our whole system.
When we’re coaching — or being coached — it’s important to be in a resourceful, open state. Nature helps us get there. It invites us to slow down, to widen our thinking, and to see challenges from a broader, clearer perspective. It supports us to feel more connected, both to ourselves and to the world around us. It sparks our curiosity.
And when we move through nature — especially walking — it gets even better. Walking helps both sides of the brain to work together, boosting creativity by up to 60%. It’s a simple, powerful way to find fresh ideas, new possibilities, and deeper insights.
If you are interested in experiencing coaching or supervision outdoors then please get in touch. Whilst in person sessions are a bonus, we can do it remotely, with each of us in our own outdoor setting. The impact is the same.
