Life Coaching and Mindset Therapy
Clarity, Confidence, and Direction for Your Life Journey
Are you ready to step out, reflect, and take charge of your life’s direction?
Sitting opposite a therapist with just an hour to talk is not for everyone. When we are immersed in nature and new environments, our thoughts flow more freely and we can view our lives more clearly.
There are many benefits to working on improving one’s mindset whilst walking amongst nature. On a physical level – something we are all familiar with – it increases the production of endorphins, which we often describe as the “feel-good” hormones. This natural, non-chemical boost can make individuals more receptive to therapeutic programmes when undertaken outdoors.
In addition, the sights, sounds, and smells of the natural world, heightens our state of awareness that comes with needing to focus on the here and now rather than the past or future worries. The combination can dramatically help process emotions so that we can move forward with clarity.
This unique programme with Jonathan, offers you time and space to talk, think, and challenge your perspectives, all in a secure and confidential environment.
Take the leap with Jonathan, 100% worth it!
Jonathan literally helped me see how my future can be controlled and tackled, I have been working with my team on the "Navigate your future" course. Everything we worked on helped me put things into perspective of what I need to achieve my goals and plan what I want out of my future. The walk was the most invaluable part for me, all the learning was great, however, if it wasn't for that walk for me personally. Now I can see how I will achieve things when I put my mind to it!
The techniques and support I received were second to none
I suffered for 20 years with mental ill health and more recently an alcohol dependancey. I had previously tried many avenues and services (private and NHS funded) to no avail. I heard about walking with my bear and with a different approach of therapy I finally managed to get my life back, gain control and be free from everything that was holding me back.
The techniques and support I received were second to none, especially being in the great outdoors. A massive thank you and I highly recommend this innovative approach to therepy.
A journey of discovery
I would highly recommend walking with my bear. Jonathan is a great guy who has taken me on a journey to discovering a lot about myself and how to help myself become more successful in my future. Going back to nature, using natural metaphors and truly grounding myself was so empowering and great for the soul.
A true inspiration
Fantastic experience and really makes you think about your life and where you want to be and how you’re going to get there… a true inspiration and quite an eye opener!
Highly recommend!!

Programme Structure
This course is thoughtfully divided into four comprehensive modules:
Module 1: Develop a resilient mindset—take a ‘leap of faith’ and break through self-limiting beliefs, anxiety, stress, and depression.
Module 2: Assess your current situation and establish a strong, stable foundation for moving forward.
Module 3: Define your personal vision of success and map out your journey ahead.
Module 4: Craft a focused action plan, achieve financial clarity, and boost your confidence for both business and personal aspirations.
Each module includes a two-hour interactive session led by Jonathan, plus an additional 2-3 hours of self-directed coursework, allowing you to apply what you learn at your own pace.

FAQ’s
What kit do I need to wear if joining the outdoor group?
All group members will be briefed prior to each walking event on what is the most suitable kit to have.
Each walk may vary in distance, terrain and location, and therefore the kit list may vary.
Typical items required are;
- Walking boots – No Trainers!
- Waterproof coat and overtrousers
- Warm layer
- Sunglasses- Yes I am optimistic!
- Snacks/sandwich
- Water bottle or warm drink if desired
- Warm hat and gloves.
What other things can I expect to experience?
During our walks, you will also get the opportunity to learn how to navigate, map read and aspects of fauna and flora and may even involve historical facts about the area and much more.
This for many provides confidence to embrace the outdoors with expert training, so over time, you may wish to bring a compass as all members will receive copies of the chosen route.
What is the cost?
Due to the ongoing cost of living crisis, we are passionate about supporting your mental and financial wellbeing. Therefore, Walking With My Bear charges what we believe is an affordable (compared to competitors) £49 per walk, payable on booking your place.
If you would like further online mindset and financial wellbeing support, this can be arranged separately.
How long do the walks last for?
Single day walks can last for up to 8 hours, although not designed to be too exhaustive, it is all about exploring the countryside and your mental wellbeing.
Can anyone just come along for the walk and become a member?
No. Each member must have a brief discovery call with myself or a member of our team prior to securing your place.
Please understand, I am very protective of clients and their mental wellbeing and want to ensure everyone who becomes a member of our community has the right intention and are committed to their mental wellbeing plan.
Will we go for a walk in varied weather conditions?
Yes. The only weather you will not go out in is thunder, lightning and gale force winds. All other weather conditions can provide a great opportunity to work metaphorically with your mental wellbeing.
