What Steph Offers:
At Step Outdoors with Steph, I offer bespoke walking experiences designed around you.

One-to-One Walks
Private walks tailored to your pace and mood. A space to talk or simply enjoy the quiet companionship of the trail.
The focus is on self-care, resilience and nurturing wellbeing through connecting with nature. Location and duration will depend on preference and experience and will be discussed at booking.

Outdoor Confidence building
Helping You Reach Your Hillwalking Goals. Whether you're dreaming of climbing your first hill or preparing for a multi-day hike, I can help you get there – with steady guidance, encouragement, and practical know-how. No question is too small – it’s about making the outdoors feel accessible, enjoyable, and truly yours.
We’ll work together on:
- Building confidence outdoors
- Choosing the right gear for your needs
- Understanding where to go and how to plan your route
- Feeling safe and prepared in the hills
- Preparation for multi-day adventures, I can also accompany you for part or all of the adventure

Wellbeing Sessions for Workplaces
Nature-Based Wellbeing Walks for Employee Health & Team Resilience. Designed for companies that care about their people. We’ll meet in the hills, leave screens behind, and return with a clearer mind.
These sessions combine light outdoor activity with simple wellbeing practices and space to reset.
Perfect for:
- Employee wellbeing days
- Mental health awareness initiatives
- Stress reduction or team reconnection
- We’ll meet in the hills, leave screens behind, and return with a clearer mind.

Freelance & Collaborative Work
I also work as a freelance outdoor instructor, supporting the delivery of expeditions, training, and group-based outdoor experiences.
I have experience working across a range of settings, including:
- Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expeditions
- Supporting outdoor education providers and programmes
- Supporting charity challenge events and fundraising walks
I hold relevant outdoor qualifications, including Hill and Moorland Leader qualification, an up-to-date Outdoor First Aid certificate and I am fully insured for freelance outdoor work.
I bring a calm, supportive presence to groups, with a strong focus on safety, inclusivity, and helping individuals build confidence in the outdoors.
I’m available for freelance opportunities and collaborations across the Peak District and beyond.
