Creative coaching is support for anyone who wants to live and create with more aliveness, clarity and integrity.

For some of us, creating isn’t just a hobby or side project, but existential work. It’s how we make meaning, process experience, grieve, play and feel like ourselves. When creating becomes blocked, chaotic, painful, it doesn’t just affect what we make but our sense of identity, direction and worth.

You may feel a pull to creating but don’t know how to begin, or have never given yourself permission to explore what you’re drawn to. Or you may be burnt out, facing blocks and resistance, or grieving a lost relationship with your reclaim. You may already be creating but feel overwhelmed, lost, self-critical, scattered, stuck or unsure how to grow and share your work.

My approach to creative coaching isn’t about pushing harder, producing more or turning creativity into another site of pressure but supporting you in developing a sustainable, compassionate relationship with your creative life.

In sessions we look at your creative life as a whole - not just your output but how you relate to making, what creativity means to you, the emotional and nervous system patterns that may arise, and the parts of you that may criticize, judge, procrastinate and avoid to protect you. Paced at your capacity, we build enough safety, trust and curiosity for creativity to flow again.

Unlike therapy, creative coaching centres creativity, meaning-making, identity and expression rather than mental health and wellbeing. It is more future-oriented and action-based, while remaining emotionally attuned. However, it is still trauma-informed, held within clear ethical boundaries, ongoing supervision and reflective practice.

You do not need to call yourself an artist or monetise your work, or feel ‘good enough’. If you feel something within you waiting to be made or said or performed, and want support- this could be helpful for you.
