Helen Garcia (Outdoor coach)

- Why she misses big talk in conversations
- Whether outdoor coaching can be done over Zoom
- Why Helen thinks one-day wellbeing sessions are rubbish

More about Helen
ADHD & Life Coach | Outdoor Coaching Advocate | Champion of Neurodivergent Minds
Helen Garcia is an Accredited Coach specialising in ADHD and Cognitive Behavioural Coaching who’s passionate about helping people break free from the "shoulds" and start living with purpose, clarity, and confidence. With years of experience working with teams and individuals, Helen brings a fresh, down-to-earth approach to coaching that’s equal parts fun as it is based on evidence-based approaches.
What makes her coaching unique? Nature. Helen blends traditional coaching techniques with the grounding, energising power of the outdoors — whether it's walking, nature-based reflections, or simply helping coachees reconnect with their natural environment (and themselves).
Helen works with individuals who think differently, feel deeply, and often feel stuck in systems that weren’t designed for them. Her mission is to create space for growth, self-compassion, and real momentum.
When she’s not coaching, you’ll find her in the chicken coop, by the bees, herding cats or simply enjoying the sunshine down her local.
