1:1 coaching
Why 1:1 coaching?
There are so many reasons why people decide to book a 1:1 coaching session. From wanting to improve your climbing grade more quickly, work on lead climbing head-game, get past a grade plateau, work on specific techniques…what matters is that you’re motivated!
Coaching centred around you
My 1:1 coaching sessions are specifically designed around your goals, your current climbing ability, your lifestyle, and your level of commitment.
When you book a 1:1 session, you’ll get a complimentary 30 minute phone/video call with me to assess what you’d most benefit from to achieve your goals (this can also be done over email if you’d prefer).
What my 1:1 clients say
“Holly is such a great instructor. She is patient and kind, and immediately makes you feel safe and comfortable when you’re learning to climb. It’s incredible how well Holly can notice your strengths and tailor the session accordingly so you feel challenged whilst also feeling very comfortable. My climbing confidence has grown massively after just a short time with Holly and I can’t wait for another session with her. Highly recommend to anyone learning to climb or looking to improve their skills!”
Polly, November 2024
“Holly is a fantastic climbing coach who is always responsive, approachable, knowledgeable and patient. Moreover, she is able to adapt her teaching style to suit different students’ level and needs.
My partner and I have completed Holly’s comprehensive lead climbing course, which was extremely helpful. By the end of the session, my partner and I both feel much more confident climbing and belaying, despite that we have very different level of climbing experience. I have also signed up for one to one sessions with Holly. She was able to quickly pinpoint my strength and development areas, while establishing action plans to help me work towards my long term climbing goals. I have really enjoyed all the sessions with Holly and I would highly recommend her for climbers of all levels!”

“Holly is an amazing climbing instructor and has helped me massively with my technique and helping me to get comfortable with falling when lead climbing. Holly is very calm, kind and easy to get on with - I would definitely recommend working with Holly towards your climbing goals!”
Megan, August 2024
“I have had a number of coaching sessions with Holly. Ranging from falling practice, improver technique sessions to a personalised coaching and training plan, which has been absolutely amazing.
She identified some bad habits I have developed over the years, analysing them, suggesting better and more efficient moves and techniques.
Holly is an excellent climbing coach. She is really knowledgeable, fun, easy to talk to, encouraging and has this calming and methodical approach to our sessions which always seem to get the best out of me!”

“Holly is the best climbing instructor I could've asked for. I met her about a year ago at an outdoor rock climbing taster. At that point I knew that climbing was my thing, but my level of experience was none and I wasn’t sure if it’s a good idea to learn climbing in my 40's. Holly gave me all the words of encouragement that it’s never too late and that is how my climbing journey started.
During our 1 to 1 sessions Holly has worked with me on practicing different techniques and she helped me greatly with my progress. I finish every session with an amazing feeling of achievement. I value Holly for her knowledge and calm and positive approach. Her support and contagious enthusiasm for climbing motivates me to achieve something I would have initially thought was beyond my capabilities. I am really excited to see my progress with climbing when I compare myself where I was and where I am now. I would not be able to achieve this without Holly”
