Wholehearted support in challenging times.

1 to 1 Development

CHANGE. It’s all we can be certain of. And sometimes we need help to make the most of it.

I offer my clients a safe space for future-focused reflective conversation, warm companionship and honest, non-judgmental challenge.

As we face a post-pandemic world - where stress, overwork, lack of direction, fear in a new role, stagnation in an old one, change in circumstance, plain old procrastination or a deeper uncertainty can feel overwhelming - we have questions:

  • What is the life I really want to live?

  • Am I truly fulfilled in my work?

  • How can I do things differently?

I offer you the space and support to think more clearly and move more courageously towards new ways of being.

Small alterations to the patterns in our lives, increased awareness of how we speak to ourselves and others, and a willingness to consider new approaches: all make a big difference to our confidence, efficiency and wellbeing.  

My coaching embraces head, heart, body and soul, exploring what’s possible when we exchange old habits for new ones.

 
Presentation & Communication

Creative Conversations

Creative Conversations are for:

  • Arts practitioners thinking through a specific project, funding application or next steps

  • People wanting to discover / recover their creativity

  • Anyone feeling stuck, bored or sad

  • You - if you need support to set yourself a challenge

Creative Conversations can be:

  • A one-off conversation or a series of sessions

  • Mentoring support for writers, artists, actors, musicians, producers, directors, dancers, choreographers

  • A springboard back into the art you love - or steady steps forwards into new activity

  • A great way to cut through avoidance and get started

Creative Conversations are:

  • Tailored to your specific situation

  • Open to individuals or small groups

  • Fun, encouraging, unblocking - and above all useful

  • Sensitively priced according to what you can afford
