Helping you make decisions about your creative output, and move forward with a clear, workable direction by developing creative habits, goal setting, and self knowledge about your creative process. | Book a Discovery Call
Creativity doesn’t usually feel like inspiration.
It feels like overthinking, uncertainty, or not knowing what to do next.
You might feel:
- Full of ideas but unable to focus
- Mentally busy but not making progress
- Unsure how to move from thinking to action
Creativity coaching helps you understand what’s happening, reduce noise, and move forward with clarity.
Some elements of creative thinking
Creativity is not just about having ideas, it is a process.
- Divergent thinking: generating possibilities
- Convergent thinking: selecting and refining
- Action: turning ideas into something concrete
When this process is disrupted, you don’t lose creativity, you lose direction.
This is often due to:
- Overload
- Time pressure
- Conflicting priorities
- Second-guessing
- Stubborn creative beliefs
Coaching helps you identify where the process is breaking down, and encourages solutions to enable you to restore it.
How coaching helps
Coaching is a collaboration, between 2 or more people to increase potential and direct behavior towards a more positive future.
In terms of creativity, coaching can help with:
Clarity: Make sense of what’s in your head. Separate signal from noise.
Focus: Reduce overwhelm and direct attention toward what matters.
Decision-Making: Explore options without pressure and move forward with confidence.
Action: Turn ideas into structured, manageable steps. This clarity reduces pressure, stress, and weight connected to what you do, which in turn, makes action possible.
Who This Is For
This coaching is for people working in environments that demand focus, creativity, or independent thinking.
You might be:
- A student managing academic pressure or workload
- A creative (artist, writer, musician, developer) navigating ideas, output, or burnout
- A professional facing uncertainty, transition, or loss of direction
- Someone who feels stuck and wants a clearer way forward
A Psychology-Informed Approach
My practice, You Talk, I Listen, We Focus, combines coaching psychology with real-world experience in high-pressure creative and technical environments.
I am a Trainee Coaching Psychologist and a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society, currently completing an MSc in Coaching Psychology.
My work draws on:
- Cognitive and behavioural approaches
- Attention and motivation research
- Metacognition (“thinking about thinking”)
- Mindfulness and reflective practice
This allows us to work not just on what you’re doing—but how you think, focus, and respond under pressure.
My Background
Before moving into psychology, I spent over 20 years working as a music producer and engineer both here in the U.K and further afield in the U.S.
I worked in high pressure environments with high profile artists, that experience shaped how I work today.
I’ve always been interested in complex systems—whether that’s:
- A recording studio signal chain
- the human mind
In coaching, I apply that same systems thinking to help you understand how your environment, habits, and internal patterns interact.
How Coaching Works
Coaching is a reflective, structured conversation.
The process:
- Inquiry – You get in touch
- Suitability Call – A short conversation to see if coaching is right for you
- Coaching Sessions – Ongoing sessions focused on clarity, direction, and action
You can:
- Book a single session
- Work in short blocks
- Or use coaching as ongoing support
Most sessions are held online.
What Coaching Is (and Isn’t)
Coaching is:
- Forward-focused
- Practical and reflective
- Based on your goals and thinking
Coaching is not:
- Therapy or counselling
- Academic tutoring
- Advice-giving
We focus on helping you think clearly and move forward in a way that works for you.
