Hello,
I’m Beth Clare McManus, an artist exploring how the arts can deepen our ways of seeing, sensing, and being in the world.
My work is grounded in organisational and coaching psychology, and informed by research into arts-based approaches to reflection, well-being, and ethical awareness. I’m curious about how creative practice can help us to notice more, to think critically, and to act with intention - for ourselves and others.
I live in Manchester, UK with my partner, James, and our two Devon Rex cats, Peanut and Pickle
I partner with professionals, coaches, and organisations who want to explore their practice through conversation and creative inquiry. Together, we use dialogue, image, and experimentation as ways to understand our experience and to cultivate presence, compassion, and clarity in our work.
Alongside my work with individuals and teams, my research examines how arts-based interventions shape professional development and identity. I’m particularly interested in how artistic processes such as noticing, listening, and reimagining can help us to sustain reflective and ethically grounded ways of working.
Through my coaching and supervision practice, I offer spaces for exploration, creativity, and renewal. Each conversation is an invitation to pause, attend, and reorient towards what matters most.
Curious to see how arts-based reflective practice can support you or your organisation?
