Coaching for People Who Care Deeply About Their Work
Coaching with Creativity in Mind™ - grounded in psychology, shaped by dialogue, and open to the arts
I offer 1:1 coaching for individuals and organisations who want to bring more intention, creativity, and well-being into the way they think about work
Coaching with me is a space for dialogue, a conversation that invites you to think aloud. I can help you to feel your way through complexity, exploring fresh perspectives on your experiences. Sometimes the dialogue stays with words; sometimes it finds shape in images, movement, or sound - using arts-based approaches can help us to reach things that our brain alone can’t access.
Many of my clients are leaders, people professionals, or creatives who spend a lot of their working time supporting others. Coaching offers them a confidential place to pause and support themselves, to make sense of their experience and to reconnect with what matters most.
You don’t need to identify as “creative” or “artistic” to benefit from my approach. I work best with people who are open and willing to see differently, to question, to play, and to find new meaning in their work.

My Approach - Coaching with Creativity in Mind™
I see coaching as a collaborative relationship, an active, responsive dialogue that supports deeper understanding and meaningful change.
My coaching practice blends the rigour of psychology with the freedom of creative inquiry. Sometimes we might use metaphor or artistic exploration to surface what words can’t hold; other times we might use silence or thoughtful questions to support us in this work.
The form is flexible, but the foundation is steady: trust, curiosity, and care - I hold the thread while you untangle what’s yours to explore.
Each coaching partnership is unique. There are no fixed programmes, just an ethical and attentive partnership that evolves around your needs, energy, and readiness.
My Philosophy
My work sits at the intersection of psychology, coaching, and art. It is informed by Positive Psychology (the science of well-being, resilience, and human potential) and enriched by my own creative practice as an artist.
I believe that the client does the work in the coaching space. My role as coach is to co-create and hold the space, attend to the relationship, and engage ethically in the field of coaching - the thinking, reflection, and action always belong to you, the client.
In my experience, meaningful and lasting change happens when clients feel safe, seen, and resourced enough to explore. Coaching can be playful, serious, unsettling, or restorative, and sometimes it is all these things at once. What matters most is that the work feels alive - that it meets you where you are, holds your contradictions, and opens space for what’s possible.
