Fear of Heights Course
I recently completed the two-day Fear of Heights course with Will4Adventure, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. A huge thank you to Adam, Matt, Angela and Alison for all of their incredible help, patience, and support. They created a safe, zero-pressure environment that made me feel entirely looked after from start to finish. To put the skills learnt to the test I went back the following week to Castleton and walked the Great Ridge Walk including Back Tor and Winnats Pass. Something in me had definitely changed! If you are letting acrophobia hold you back, book this course. It works, it lasts and it genuinely changes what you are capable of doing. Thank you, I'll be back to do more courses.

Fear of Heights course
Overcome Your Fear of Heights was a great experience for me. The instructors, Adam and Hayden, were so supportive, calm and encouraging, I felt completely safe, and ended up doing things I never thought I would be capable of - and even enjoying some of them! I have had a lifelong fear of heights which has prevented me doing things that I want to do. The hypnotherapy session on the first morning brought up some completely unexpected memories which might be at its root - I think this insight will help me put the techniques we learned into practice. Being in a group of people who share this fear is a huge help, there is genuine empathy and support, and delight in everyone's achievements. Highly recommended.
The Fear of Heights completed with this company in July'26.
Terrific experience!! Great course leaders Adam, Hayden and Joe, and the bunch of us - participants, timid at first and scrambling on the 2nd day, as though this was our second nature. If you are scared of heights, look no further than Will4adventure and look from the ...heights again.
Thanks to Hayden for distracting me when the panic started to eat me away!

That's great - thank you. Will
Just completed the Fear of Heights course and I would say to anyone who is ready to overcome your fear of heights, take this course as a first step. In summary, Will was responsive and informative during my enquiry stage. Very clear instructions were provided ahead of the course. I appreciated the help to link us with other participants who could give us a ride to the meeting points. The morning session with Alison was a good grounding session and gave us an opportunity to reflect and connect with the group. Adam, Haydon and Joe had the perfect leadership style for me. They were very professional and personable, gave clear explanations of each activity to prepare us, they were encouraging, supportive and shared lots of really useful golden nuggets that helped me quickly reframe a lot of the negative scripts I had. The activities were not what I expected at all, but they were brilliant in building my confidence from the foundations up - exactly what I needed. I achieved things in 48 hrs I would not have imagined possible before the course. The group dynamics were great and it was a really supportive experience. I also appreciated the way Adam not only gave us all the attention we needed and worked well as a team with Haydon but also was very intentionally supportive of Joe, who was there to shadow him. Great leadership. Thank you to everyone at Will4Advenuture. I am grateful for this course and I am looking forward to booking another event with this team.

Overcoming the Fear of Heights - Terrific!!
I took the part in Overcoming the Fear of Heights course. It filled me with belief that the perseverance matters more than age. Great group of people, all timid but willing. Great course leaders. Trust your process and you will accomplish more than you believed you were able to!!

Wonderful course - just go ahead and do it.
I am just back from this course. I finally took the plunge after several years of deliberation. I am so glad I did. I can’t praise this experience and everyone involved highly enough. Alison’s psychology and hypnosis session was such a strong base to start from, and also a chance for us to meet each other and realise we were all in this together! Our instructors, Adam, Hayden, and Joe, who was shadowing, were very calm and encouraging throughout, and were very good at gauging which activities were just the right degree outside our comfort zone to move us forward without inducing panic. I felt very safe even when a bit scared and I think this was what enabled us all to progress so well. My group was wonderful - different people but all with previous difficult experiences around being at height and a desire to take back some control. I still can’t really believe what we achieved - it just shows how much you can do when surrounded by the right people. I am keen to progress further!

I have just completed the fear of heights course and cannot speak highly enough of it. It was professionally delivered with an emphasis on encouraging us to explore gently pushing ourselves out of our comfort zone in a supportive environment. I am amazed how much we all achieved in such a short space of time.
Thank you so much to Will’s fantastic team! You have changed my life for the better. I can’t wait to put my new skills in to practice.

That's brilliant and it's got to be the fastest we've had a review written. Thank you so much for the kind words and, well done! Good luck with the journey! Will
Will took my son and me on the Hope Valley highlights guided ride. He gave us some coaching on the way, helping us improve our confidence and technique. He had some suggestions on other trails we could sample on our weekend in the peaks, which proved to be great rides.
Overall Will was a knowledgeable, personable guide who helped us become better riders, relaying interesting information about the area we were riding in and allowing us to have the most memorable day.
We would definitely book Will again for future visits, and would highly recommend him for anyone looking to ride in this beautiful part of the world.

My pleasure - thanks Rob! Will
I have just completed my fifth Outdoor First Aid (OFA) course with Will, which I renew every three years. As always, the training was excellent. Will is a highly knowledgeable and engaging instructor who brings the course to life through real-world experiences and practical examples from situations he has encountered himself.
The most valuable aspect of the course is the range of practical first aid scenarios delivered in an outdoor environment over the two days. These hands-on exercises are both realistic and challenging, helping to reinforce and embed the learning objectives far more effectively than classroom-based teaching alone.
I would thoroughly recommend Will4Adventure to anyone looking for high-quality, practical Outdoor First Aid training.

Great stuff - thanks Dave! Will
I completed Will4Adventure's Fear of Heights course at the end of April 2026. As others have said, the combination of reprogramming the subliminal mind along with the activities to reinforce this new 'thinking' about heights were great. The support received from Will, Andy, Ben & Alison during the course was fantastic.
My cohort established a WhatsApp group and the ongoing moral support from the group, as we have each individually acheived 'new heights' has been amazing.
I am now 2.5 months post my course, just back from a trip to Switzerland and proud to say I have been in cable cars, crossed bridges and walked on high cliffs all of which were just not even considerations for me only couple of months ago.
If you are reading this review and considering joining a future Fear of Heights course, let me give you 1 piece of advice. DO IT! You will not regret the decision, it will change your life and you will make some fantastic new friends.

Thank you Ben
Ben took the three of us out for a two day introduction to rock climbing. A brilliant two days Ben was very knowledgable and patient with the three of us. We learnt a great deal and were amazed of what we had achieved at the end of the two days. Thank you Ben

Fantastic empowering weekend!
Fabulous time. Of course I was a little nervous as to what to expect (we all were), but Alison quickly put our minds at rest. Great hypnotherapy/cognitive therapy to see where fear of heights might have come from, and to speak the truth into those areas. Then meditation was great, again correcting thinking that wasn't helpful, with some truth! Not intense or weird, just relaxed and effective. Given recording to listen to daily for 21 days, to create new and positive pathways in the brain. In the afternoon, was slightly nervous but it was fine. Lovely trainers who soon put you at ease, and felt more in control/positive due to the morning session. Everything we did was gradual, starting with small challenges, learning techniques and building up slowly. And all your choice what you did or didn't do. Lovely encouraging trainers with no pressure at all. Final day was amazing- beautiful scenery, lots of different activities to try (or not). Focus on what is a stretch for you, but not too much. So you always have a positive experience. Everyone was nervous at first at the start of the weekend, so you know youre not alone. All with things wr found esp scary, but during the weekend we grew in confidence and all did amazing things! Super photos and friends to treasure for a long time. Am inspired to keep challenging myself in all areas of life. So empowered by the course, I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Just completed my Outdoor First Aid training in Camberley and would highly recommend this company. Hannes was a brilliant instructor,professional, thorough, and engaging throughout. I feel far more confident in my first aid skills after the course.

Great stuff - thanks for this. Will
Being scared to go on a hike that has a ledge/path with a sheer drop has held me back from completing many family hikes. I know feel confident and safe within myself that I can do such hikes. The freedom of feeling this is liberating. I can truly say that Will and the team are so supportive, caring and believe in us more than we believe in ourselves. Will has a way with each person that sees straight to the core of who you want to be.

FOH Course April 2026
I attended a 2 day Fear of Heights course to help overcome my fears. The first day started with Discussion and therapy which I would later see was a fantastic success. We then spent the afternoon abseiling down various heights and formations which I know I would have struggled with before but with the guidance of Will and his team I managed to complete and the satisfaction and elation I felt we great. Day 2 was all about climbing and embracing my fears and turning them into positive thoughts rather than negative. We did a multitude of climbs, descends, standing on high rocks etc all of which challenged me but through the teams excellent work and the other people on the course I can say I completed and looking backed absolutely loved. Since the course I have been on my first Ferris Wheel (Aged 59) and felt completely fine and my whole outlook on heights has changed. The course was absolutely superb and I would recommend it to anyone who has a fear. My fears were from a ladder to cable cars etc In June I go to Switzerland and am planning on using the tools given to me by the course to go on cable cars and walk on mountain tops. I have a mantra from the course which is "Reading is just Reading" and it is so true big or small, tall or short its the same Thanks Will, Ben, Andy & Alison Barry Jiggins

Inspiring course
Absolutely brilliant course on tackling my Fear of Heights. Will, Alison, Andy and Ben were so supportive and encouraging. The use of hypnotherapy really adds another dimension to help you understand where your fears may be coming from and gives you tools to overcome it. Once outside on the hills in the Peak District the experience was amazing. Nobody was forced to tackle anything that seemed too much, we were all treated with patience and understanding; as a consequence we all achieved much more than we thought was possible on the first morning. And I learnt that I love abseiling!
I had so much fun, I havent laughed, smiled and felt so comfortable with a group of strangers like that before. It was an experience that I will remember with so much fondness. We all have variations in our fears and react in different ways. Will and his team were able to recognise and support each of us the way we needed. They were able to not only calm and reassure me, they also had me actually wanting to try more. Their knowledge, skills and experience are amazing. The things that I learnt will not only help me in my fear of heights but are transitional to other areas in my life. I am very much looking forward to signing up for the follow up opportunities and would recommend this course to everybody.
