Mental health coaching and ADHD coaching outdoors in south Wellington
Mental health coaching and ADHD coaching outdoors is a new way to get support for ADHD or your mental health.
The outdoor coaching that I offer is ideal for anyone in Wellington wanting support with mild to moderate anxiety, struggling with stress for whatever reason or dealing with burnout. It is also invaluable for people wanting ADHD coaching or AuDHD coaching to work through the challenges that come with being neurodivergent.
By taking our coaching outside, I can offer you support in a relaxed, outdoor setting. This can help you reflect on your life, current situation and goals and create meaningful change for the future. All in an enjoyable outdoor environment on Wellington's south coast.

Benefits of coaching oudoors
Outdoor mental health coaching or ADHD coaching offers a refreshing alternative to traditional therapy or counselling. Rather than talking about the past, coaching focuses on what is happening in your life right now and where you want to be in the future. It uses proven coaching techniques and practical strategies to help you move forward towards the life you want.
With coaching outdoors, you can step out of the confines of the conventional office or clinic and into a landscape that encourages relaxation and growth.
Outdoor coaching offers a unique approach to wellbeing that often resonates with people seeking a more relaxed and empowering experience of mental health and ADHD support.
Who are outdoor sessions suitable for?
I work with a wide range of different people, particularly neurodivergent folks with ADHD or AuDHD. My approach is trauma-informed, neuro-affirming, gender-affirming and LGBTQIA+ friendly.
Outdoor coaching can be particularly helpful for people who have found traditional therapy or counselling is not always a good fit for them, including ADHDers and AuDHDers.
I am based in Island Bay in south Wellington, where I offer indoor or outdoor mental health coaching or ADHD coaching sessions. I offer gentle walk-and-talk sessions, or we can find a quiet spot to sit and talk. Of course, if the Wellington weather doesn't play along, we can always head inside.
There are absolutely no fitness or mobility requirements for outdoor coaching. We can simply sit and talk outside your door if you like.
You are welcome to bring babies, toddlers and children under five to the outdoor sessions. Your dog is welcome, too!
The focus of our sessions will be on what is happening in your life right now, and how you want to live your life in the future. Each session is based around your particular needs and your agenda – you decide what you want to change in your life, along with when and why.
While it is trauma-informed, mental health and ADHD coaching are not about delving into the past. If you would like support with this, I can work alongside a therapist or counsellor who can offer their assistance. It is also not about diagnosis, prescribing medications or altering treatment plans from your usual healthcare provider. If needed, I can assist as part of a wider team to offer additional support while you work through any changes.
My availability is limited. Get in touch to book your outdoor coaching today.
Walk-and-talk sessions
During walk-and-talk sessions, we take a gentle stroll along the coast, through the parks and reserves or along the side streets of Island Bay in south Wellington.
The gentle exercise can promote relaxation, reduce stress and stimulate creativity, making it easier to explore thoughts and feelings and find a way forward.
These walk-and-talk sessions offer a more relaxed alternative to traditional settings, helping you get in touch with yourself and the world around you. This can lead to a greater sense of calm, as well as new insights and breakthroughs.
Sit and talk outdoors
Sitting outdoors offers a scenic setting for deep conversations in beautiful south Wellington. In a quiet spot by the sea, under a tree or in a local park, you can relax in a peaceful environment that is ideal for exploration and insightful conversation.
Clients often find that sitting and talking outdoors provides a comforting and supportive space for sharing thoughts and feelings. Sitting quietly and taking in the outdoors can give you time to reflect on your experiences, uncovering new perspectives and gaining clarity.
These sessions offer a valuable break from your day-to-day life where you can explore your thoughts and find your way towards the life you want to live.
Conversations over coffee
If you don't fancy a walk, we can simply sit and talk while enjoying a cuppa indoors or outdoors, at my practice or in a quiet corner of a local café.
Clients often find that meeting in an informal setting provides a great starting point for authentic dialogue and meaningful reflection. As we share the time together, there's a sense of connection and groundedness that encourages openness and insight.
These sessions offer an unhurried alternative to conventional spaces where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and current situation and move forward towards your goals.
Move forward towards the life you want to live. Get in touch to book a session today.
