Craig Watson

Hi, I’m Craig Watson.

I moved to Kendal recently and set up my own company Active Mind Coaching, which supports individuals to make positive behaviour and cognitive changes, focusing on both clinical issues and sports performance. I’m a Clinical Hypnotherapist, NLP Performance Coach and Psychology Graduate and in September I start the long journey to become a Chartered Sport Psychologist.

On the climbing front I was an instructor for ten years mainly in Yorkshire and I’ve been playing at climbing for the last 20+ years. I’ve climbed in lots of places in the UK from the sea cliffs of Wales, multi-pitch routes in the Lakes, bouldering on Yorkshire grit and for the last few years, after a few injuries, I’ve been focusing on sport climbing.

As well as rock climbing I also enjoy snowboarding and surfing, which I’ve started doing a bit more regularly and as my hypnotherapy practice is based on the other side of the country on the North East Coast (long story!) and 5 mins from the beach break in Saltburn.

You can catch me on:
