What is Earth Coaching®?
Bex Harper Earth Coaching is built around the following values:
Peace Tranquillity Simplicity Nature Creativity Adventure Connection Respect Transformation Integrity Authenticity Understanding Learning Sustainability Organisation
Earth Coaching® provides guidance and support by having a pathway forward for you to complete the journey from stress and burnout to peaceful, sustainable living. The sessions enable you to realise, reflect and overcome the roadblocks you are having and offer a healing and transformative space to reassess your boundaries, values and goals. Earth Coaching® explores self-acceptance, self-discovery and therapeutic problem-solving to achieve real change in clients’ lives. You can explore areas of your life through art, music, poetry, photography, or meditation in the coaching sessions if you wish, and you need not see yourself as ‘artistic’ or ‘creative’ to do so.
Earth Coaching® incorporates:
Mindfulness, meditation and relaxation techniques and self-care practices
Existential thinking and existential coaching methods
Reflective practices, slowing down our pace and honouring our bodies and boundaries
Reconnecting to nature and the outside world
Using nature to aid progress in achieving goals
Sustainable living principles, not just for the earth but for our mental and physical health
Bringing art, music, poetry, photography or self-expression into daily life
Permaculture principles, including ‘Permaculture of the Self’.
Working with chronic illness through engagement with nature and the elements
Supporting neurodivergents to live life more easily and happily
Creating a calm home and work environment
Cultivating good mental health through forest bathing and other nature-based practices
Using medicinal herbs and time in the outdoors to nurture our minds and bodies
“Grow your own Mindfulness”, gardening and meditation courses available to adults
Earth-based spiritual practices and connecting with the elements (if welcomed by the client)
If you fit into one or more of these categories, then Earth Coaching® is designed for you!
FAQs
-
I mainly work with neurodivergents (such as those with ADHD, AuDHD, autism and dyslexia) and those with chronic illnesses or disabilities.
Most of my clients are women, non-binary or LGBTQ+ but I am happy to consider working with anyone who feels the above values and approaches resonate with them.
I have coached people from all over the world (including France, Germany and Brazil) so if you do not live in the UK, this does not matter. If you are based in south Essex, UK, then sessions can take place in gorgeous outdoor locations. But no matter where you are in the world, you can be coached online via Google Meet.
I have worked with teens and am happy to work with anyone aged 15+.
Whilst Earth Coaching® is not a replacement for mental health support, it would certainly complement work done with a psychotherapist or counsellor to achieve transformative results.

I work completely holistically and every coaching session is different as it is tailored to the individual’s needs and wants. But here are some examples of what people use their coaching sessions for:
Conquering stress, burn out, overwhelm and disorganisation so that you can get back to being in control.
Better understanding your neurodivergence and its strengths, gifts, limitations and struggles.
Learning how to ace pacing, planning and playing to your strengths.
Incorporating mindfulness, meditation and connection with nature into daily life to live calmly and thrive.
Adapting life to improve health and wellbeing in an eco-friendly way.
Getting to know yourself, your core values, your principles and what self-care works for you.
Decluttering your life, home and mind to achieve a sense of peace and relief.
Incorporating art, music, poetry, photography or self-expression into daily life as a form of self care and mental health management.
Planning ways to further your career, start a business, get out of debt, or improve your financial situation.
Having more support and a sounding board to express your ideas and plans and someone to hold you accountable!
Gaining the confidence to do the things that scare you or seem impossible!

Earth Coaching® is a form of transformational coaching that focuses on the idea that we are part of a bigger eco-system, society and that the body and mind are connected. It is a holistic approach that centres on ‘being’ as much as ‘doing’. My Philosophy is that everything is connected and that coaching helps you to take apart the whole and look at the individual parts of the system in which you find yourself. A big focus is on the sustainability of the self and how, by doing so, we can better sustain others who are important to us.

The information discussed in sessions is kept confidential unless we have the teenager’s consent to discuss it. Teens are more open when they are sure discussions are kept confidential. However, if clients want to, they are welcome to include their parents at any time. I do encourage open communication between client and parent and am happy to work on this with you.
If, as a parent, you would like to discuss concerns, I welcome you to book your own session.
N.B. I am mandated to report any concerns for self-harm or harm to others as is appropriate and required by law.

You can have a look at the coaching packages I offer and book a discovery session. During a discovery session, you can ask me any questions about Earth Coaching® and we can chat about your expectations for the sessions. It's a perfect opportunity to see if we're a good match for a coaching relationship and work out if/when we want to book our first session together to begin the coaching journey.
You can tell me if you want to apply for Access to Work or other disability benefits (like PIP) to fund your sessions.
I look forward to seeing you in a discovery session soon!
What People Are Saying
“Throughout the coaching sessions I had with Bex, I felt really listened to and heard, which is a departure from my daily life. Bex helped me identify different ways of thinking and acknowledging my achievements and how I relate to others. Bex is a really caring life coach and used their professionalism and empathetic nature to gain my trust as I felt Bex was totally supportive of my vision for life. I highly recommend Bex, if you are looking for a life coach as their skills are far reaching and their ability to recognise my unspoken words in our sessions spoke to my heart as Bex helped me find healing in many levels. Thanks again!”

“Had a really great experience with Bex's coaching. I went in feeling like there were a number of issues I needed to address, but didn't know where to start. I left with some simple, concrete steps that really helped me manage my time better and get stuff done. Bex is incredibly attentive, insightful, and empathetic - a wonderful person and a wonderful coach!”
— Stuart (Yell Reviewer)
“Bex is a wonderful professional, full of sensibility and knowledge. Bex has been helping me a lot since we started our coaching sessions. I'd recommend Bex’s services to anyone who wants to find a new direction in their professional life and also to the ones who want to make their dreams come true because Bex can definitely get out the best of you!”

“I truly feel that working with Bex Harper ‘saved me’ from crashing this year. Before I started my Earth Coaching package, I was feeling totally wired, overwhelmed and falling through time and my own life – that’s the only way I can describe it, I was also drowning in my own stuff, this was spreading seemingly without control through my home. I love my home and live and work here and it has been my haven but I was ‘escaping’ more and more. I just couldn’t sort myself out. Even simple decisions like getting dressed were becoming increasingly difficult.
Bex has given me the tools to organise my time better, to sort myself out and helped me to see how little self care I was giving myself and how hard I could be on myself. Bex has helped me motivate myself again, helping me feel in control of my own life again. Anyone thinking of working with Bex – don’t hesitate, just do it.”
