Group Coaching

"Charting new waters"

Unlock clarity, confidence & purpose – on and off the water

Imagine combining the power of group coaching with the tranquillity of a canal boat retreat.

This exclusive 6-week programme blends transformative online sessions with unique in-person retreats aboard "The Mercia Swan" tripboat based at Mercia Marina Willington on the tranquil and peaceful, Trent and Mersey Canal – creating the perfect balance of reflection, growth, and community.

This is a small-group, experiential life coaching journey designed for individuals navigating change—whether personal, professional, or lifestyle.

Coaching Services FAQ

What coaching services do you offer?

My main coaching offering is the 6-month, 1:1 coaching programme "The Next Chapter". I also offer group coaching sessions and day retreats.

How do I schedule a session or book onto a coaching programme?

You can schedule a session by contacting me through the website on the contact form or email me at hello@themindfulskipper.co.uk

I offer everyone a free introduction call so we have time to discuss your requirements and to make sure we are a good fit for each other before you make any commitment to coaching with me.

What is your coaching approach?

My coaching approach focuses on supporting and empowering you through change, goal-setting, and providing actionable strategies for personal and professional growth.

I am based in Derby in the the midlands. Where possible, in person sessions will take place outside in nature (subject to your approval) within a 5 or 6 mile radius of Derby. During the colder months, sessions are moved indoors at a suitable and pre arranged venue (which may be on a narrowboat subject to availability). I also offer online coaching via Teams and google meet so lots of flexibility.

Where do your coaching sessions take place?
