“I did a Quest into nature with Hamish, I’d like to thank him for sharing his deep wisdom and creating a protected space deeply surrounded in the woods. It was a powerful platform of isolation in nature, which ignited my own journey into new depths of personal intimacy and insights. Thanks Hamish!”
— Tim Westwell - Co Founder of Pukka Herbs
“For my birthday gathering in Somerset, Hamish created a two-hour nature-based meditation that was thoughtful and meaningful but also accessible to those who’ve never taken part in retreats or reflections like this. It was gentle, yet really touching for a small group of all ages and personality types, and beautifully guided with the perfectly chosen poem that left everyone feeling uplifted.”
“Hamish creates such a safe space to explore the body and its tensions, traumas and blockages. He brings lightness, depth, compassion, curiosity and challenge. In every session with Hamish I experienced both physical and emotional release as well as incredible spiritual experiences that I will never forget. I strongly recommend a multiple session breathwork and coaching journey with him to bring about the shift or change you may be looking for - or even just to create more aliveness and expansion in your life. You won’t be disappointed.”
“Working with Hamish feels like throwing open the windows and letting lots of fresh air and light in! He works his magic through connection and humanity and a quiet wisdom born of a real interconnectedness with the natural world and an eye on the distant horizon. It’s transformative!”
— Alice Dawnay - Founder & CEO at Switchback
“It feels impossible to try and explain the value of this human being in written form, but I will do my best to do justice to the change I have undergone. This process and Hamish’s guidance has taken me from a wreck to a force of nature in only 4 months of intense work.
In some ways it was a risk to work with Hamish, my life was in such disrepair and I was in a place of inexplicable grief and vulnerability, so it really was a leap of faith to give myself to his incredible process.
What I found was someone with boundless knowledge, skills, outlook and practical strategies for growth and self development. But what really allowed me to heal was his warmth, compassion and genuine care for me and my being, in each and every session.
We worked at a depth that I have barely even experienced in my therapeutic practice, both in training and as a client. His approach to ‘the work’ was phenomenal, weaving and moulding his skillset to my arising needs. There was seemingly nothing he couldn’t handle and bring his gift to bear on. As a young man in need of a mentor, a model and now a kindred spirit, I could look for many years and not find someone as gifted as Hamish. Truly, I am not the same person anymore and far far richer for it.”
— Jamie Coupe - Songwriter, speaker, counsellor
“I feel very fortunate to have been coached by Hamish. His manner is extremely empathetic and heartfelt. He has an uncanny knack of asking exactly the right questions at the right time, but in a way that’s supportive rather than confrontational. He has helped me change my perspectives on a great many things and opened up new opportunities. I highly recommend Hamish as a leadership/life coach.”
— James Paterson - Founder at Plainly.com
“One of the toughest things I ever put myself through... deeply profound and life changing .. Hamish is an amazing facilitator... applying the most gentle yet tough love while softly steering me towards one breakthrough after another.”

— Max Richardson - Entrepreneur
“My husband and I did a retreat with Hamish. It was in an amazing location and was beautifully curated. It was deeply thought provoking and, to be honest, life changing. Hamish is a very competent mentor and led the retreat with wisdom, compassion and integrity. I cannot recommend this retreat highly enough for anyone who wants to delve deeper into the healing power of nature.”
— Anne Lalor - Finance Administrator at Crowley Carbon

— Harriet Cherry - Agricultural Relationship Manager at Wild Farmed
“Hamish has allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of myself and how I relate to the world through his compassionate enquiry and insightful feedback. He is able to support, challenge and reduce complex issues to their simplest form in a space where it is safe to be vulnerable and open. Critically, he gave me the skillset to read my emotions. I’m now much better connected to my inner essence and have more confidence to express myself authentically.”
— Richard Mortimer - Real Estate Professional
“Working with Hamish has been totally refreshing. It transformed the way that I see and experience emotions - thanks to our sessions together, I am closer to understanding my authentic self and finding more joy in my every day.

— Amelie Sundberg - Consultant at Bain & Company
“I was looking for some help to clear my head of self doubts and a sense of not having achieved enough in my mind during my working life. My time spent with Hamish was transformational and his positive energy and warm manner have helped me more than i can say. I will now be more immersed in nature and have a clearer and more positive vision of life moving forward because of his help.”
— Paul Kratovil - Retired
“Hamish is one of the rare coaches who is driven deeply by a voracious desire to learn, expand, and know himself and others better. He embodies an innate curiosity that is essential in successful coaches and sorely missing in the world, particularly amongst leaders. He models a beautiful style of leadership that is honest, authentic, and vulnerable, and it’s unbelievably refreshing to witness and experience. I highly recommend him to leaders who want to know a more impactful way to lead, and to those who are seeking to find themselves. He is an excellent and highly skilled guide in a market saturated with mediocrity, especially in these two areas.”
— Antesa Jensen - Adventure Awake
“Hamish’s deeply encouraging acceptance and attentive presence are quite extraordinary. He created a safe but free and playful place to explore, where I made surprising connections and blew past jams I hadn’t even known were there. Thanks to his skillful coaching, I feel like I’m fully inhabiting my own skin, with a new awareness of a more diverse range of strengths and capacity. Highly recommended.”
— Heather Tingle - Wild Blue Coaching
“I had the most incredible experience and treasured the gift of spending time with Hamish. His passion for nature; along with his gentle wisdom and deep experience of journeying into wilderness was very inspiring to me. I had not realised that Mother Nature was such a strong healer, teacher and holder. ”
— GAVIN HUGHES - PARTNER AT SARSEN
“Hamish is a total pro and his combination of life coaching and hypnotherapy I found not only healing at the time, but skills I carry with me now and can go back to should the need arise. I recommend him highly for anyone going through a challenging transition in their life”
— Alice Beaumont - Director at FEU de Beaumont
“I came to Hamish lacking in confidence in my own ability. Over a short space of time, Hamish transformed the way that I approach situations that I had previously struggled with, enabling me to greatly improve my day to day work. The sessions that I have had have been invaluable and have give me the tools that i need to continue to improve. ”
— Tom - Management Consultant
“I started seeing Hamish when my anxiety and lack of confidence was affecting my working and personal life. Since we began our coaching sessions I have noticed a big difference in how I react to uncomfortable situations, so much so that others have picked up on it. Hamish has been great at helping me find answers within myself. He was flexible in his approach. My sessions with Hamish were invaluable as they taught me what I valued and how to be kinder to myself. ”
— Kirsty - Consultant
“Hamish is a wonderfully gifted coach and I would highly recommend his services to anyone. His calm, kind, and methodical approach gives you space to reflect both inwardly and honestly; whilst identifying your challenges and obstacles, as well as the necessary skills and self-leadership qualities you need to overcome them both now and in the future.”
— Ed Pratt - Product Designer at Peak Shift
“My work with Hamish has completely changed my way of thinking, opened my eyes and has given me the tools that I need in myself to be a better me. At the start he said that, “if there is one gift I could give anyone it would be meditation”. Seeing him and doing daily tasks after each session really has changed me. I feel that my energy has been ignited again and I am really looking forward to starting my journey and seeing where this all takes me.”
— Will - Entrepreneur
“Hamish is a leader with heart, passionate about helping people fulfill their potential. He is like the loudspeaker for the small, quiet voice inside of you that probably brought you to him in the first place. He will challenge you to get out of your comfort zone and help you to clarify your vision and create a roadmap to your goals. For me, the coaching process itself has challenged me to be authentic and to start facing the barriers stopping me from living a life I love. I recommend Hamish to anybody who wants to make positive changes in their life.”
— Veronika
“Hamish is a remarkable coach. His professional, committed and empathic approach make him easy to immediately connect and work with. He blends theory and applied practice in his coaching; which has helped me better understand complex and challenging situations and how to craft impactful solutions. Throughout our coaching, he stretched me to better understand my personal leadership qualities and style. After working with Hamish, i feel empowered to deal and respond to a host of challenging scenarios. I now have a much richer and deeper sense of my leadership and management approach.”
— Ross - Managing Director of a Charity
“Hamish is measured, intuitive and firm. If you are looking for support with next steps, finding purpose or establishing practices to support goals, then you will see quick progress working with Hamish. He helped me to drill down into what’s important for me, and to find the self-trust to make some key decisions. I can’t overestimate how useful some of the techniques Hamish uses can be for both looking towards the future as well as giving context to the past.”
— Lucy Aldis - Client Director at The Extraordinary Adventure Club
“Hamish is an excellent coach. I wasn’t sure whether to do his group coaching at first, but I’m glad I did. I have learnt so much from exploring themes in a group environment. It has helped me hugely with getting to grips with myself and what I want to do and how I want to approach different areas of my life. I can now steer my own ship and be confident in doing that”
— Rachael Gowland - Marketing Communications Manager at British European Breeders’ Fund
“Hamish helped me to start a whole new chapter of my life. His style and method were key and enabled me to discover a new purposeful ME. He led me down a new path that I was too confused to find alone, and actually didn’t even know existed. He encouraged me with his wise words and being present throughout the entire process. I shall be eternally grateful.”
— Emilia Brandao - Photographer
“Hamish’s coaching has really made a positive impact on my life - it was an amazing experience. Initially, I was nervous about evaluating what was important to me, but Hamish’s friendly and approachable manner made me feel relaxed and comfortable to open up. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring what it is I truly want to achieve in life and feel a lot more confident in the next stages of my journey.”
— Zillah, Sales Manager
“Hamish began coaching me at a period of adversity in my life. While i have previously sought a little help in moving through this, the coaching has been much more effective and has been very transformative. The sessions have impacted positively in many areas of my life. Most importantly, they have given me confidence and self belief and have made me see how achieving anything is possible; whether it be overcoming fear or daring to take action towards a desired career path. People have commented on how strong I am and i can only credit the outstanding level of this coaching. I feel happy and inspired for the first time in a long time and excited about beginning the next chapter of my life.”
— Anonymous client
“I was shown a different world, which I did not dare to believe in during my day to day life, but I could almost touch it when speaking to Hamish. He reminded me of who I am. He made me laugh at the absurdity of some of my self-created reality and he taught me how to question hardened behavioural patterns resulting in a change of my approach towards them. He is very empathic and made me feel at ease in an instance. Our work has led me to a more balanced and “lighter” chapter in my life.”
