What is this service?
Why climbing?
-
Exercise provides relief for people living with anxiety and depression.
-
The focus required during climbing can help manage the negative thought processes.
-
The social aspect of climbing impact on mental wellbeing.
What we offer:
-
Up to four free one-to-one coaching sessions with a qualified instructor
-
Social sessions introducing service users to the wider climbing community, encouraging them to continue climbing and to make lasting improvements to their mental wellbeing.
How does it work?
COOD provides instructor-led indoor climbing sessions to people suffering from mild to moderate mental health conditions (e.g. anxiety and depression).
We currently operate at White Spider Urban Climbing, Tolworth KT6 7LD. More locations will be added soon!
The focus is on what our service users can do, not what they are not able to do. Their emotional, physical and psychological safety is our priority. Instructors are given mental health awareness training, safeguarding training and have enhanced DBS checks.

What people say
Climbing has been a huge help to me through some very dark times. When you’re climbing you really are living in the moment.
