Why work with Tom Herbert?

Since August 2019, Tom Herbert has supported a mix of over 300 professional and amateur sport and boulder climbers from around the world in 24 countries.

Tom has worked with a number of professional IFSC ranked competition climbers and paraclimbers representing the UK, USA, Ukraine, and Saudi Arabia national teams. Outside the competition circuit, he continues to support climbers pushing the highest limits of their sport.

useful. coaching has supported athletes working with: ROAP coaching, Lattice Training, Power Company Climbing, Camp4 Human Performance, Precision Climbing, Kaizen Climbing Coaching, Natasha Barnes, and many more independent coaching providers.

An outlier amongst his peers, contrasting the standard consultation model, Tom’s conversation-led “long form coaching” approach provides clients with unlimited video support calls—over 2200 hours of conversations so far. With a genuine interest in people and their stories, his empathetic and patient approach has seen him supporting transgender athletes, neurodiverse individuals, and those with disordered eating backgrounds.*

In furthering his support development, Tom is currently training in Cognitive-Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH).

*Please be aware that coaching is not suitable for those who have existing eating disorders. This specific counselling and therapeutic work requires a specialist, and is outside of Tom Herbert’s scope of practice.
