Creative Coaching
1:1 Coaching for Creatives Who Want to Make Work With Nothing to Prove
Something feels slightly 'off'… even if you can’t say why
Maybe you’ve outgrown the way you’ve been doing things.
Maybe your world or work still looks fine from the outside. The ideas still come; or maybe they don’t. But inside, something has shifted… and now things feel misaligned. Like there’s something you know that’s important nearby, but it’s just out of reach.
You’re trying to move forward — but the 'how' keeps shifting. And the more you try to think your way there, the less sure it feels. (Or the more pressure you feel…)
It’s not that you’re doing nothing... It’s that what you’re doing no longer feels like it quite fits.
This isn’t about discipline or 'more productivity.' It’s about making space to listen to what’s asking to change. This work isn’t about fixing, but reclaiming.
The Problem Isn’t Productivity — It’s Disconnection
You’ve gathered lots of advice and ideas. You’ve tried out systems, courses, podcasts, and maybe even hired support. But often it doesn’t make you feel more sure... It’s only added to the noise.
Because underneath it all is a quiet truth:
The voice inside never went away. We’ve just been taught to doubt it.
When we keep circling the same questions — “Is this the right thing to do?” “Should I change it?” “Maybe I don’t really know...” — it’s not merely confusion. It’s a disconnection from your own inner rhythm and authority.
This work meets you in that space. Where it’s now about trusting what you know.
Common Patterns That Bring People Here
Feeling like your work or direction doesn’t quite reflect who you are anymore
Craving space to think, feel, or make; without pressure
Second-guessing your next move (and then overthinking the second-guess)
Feeling fragmented or unmotivated — even though part of you wants to move
You want to pivot… but you’re not sure how, or where to
Unsure how to return to your voice — or where to begin
Knowing something needs to shift, but not sure what that looks like yet
This isn’t about starting over. It’s an invitation to start moving differently.
What We Actually Do Together:
This isn’t a programme or a step-by-step formula. It’s a conversation — one that meets you where you currently are, and grows with you.
Sometimes that means untangling old patterns — understanding how we got here in the first place. Sometimes it’s about honouring what’s changed: our new shape, our new motivations, our evolving identity.
This space is for creative reclamation. For making things — decisions, art, moves — that feel like they come from you.
We work on what’s showing up in real time. That might look like:
Creating work that feels more honest (e.g. more you)
Exploring new directions (without scrapping everything)
Making decisions from clarity and congruence, not fear or 'shoulds'
Quieting the inner noises so you can hear what’s true
Releasing pressure and urgency
Enjoying the act of making again
This isn’t specific to art making. It’s about your general creative outlook, and work, life, and business decisions as well.
"I had been approaching my business from ‘how do I make money,’ but I realised first I needed to fall back in love with my work. Now I have far more clarity on what I want, and it looks completely different — and it feels so much more fulfilling. Kathryn doesn’t tell you what you should do — she gives you the skills to answer your own questions, with self-trust and confidence."

The Structure
I usually recommend starting with 6 to 12 sessions. Because meaningful creative work doesn’t happen overnight :) It needs space, rhythm, and time to come back to yourself — again and again.
This gives us enough room to:
Explore the patterns shaping your current experience
Begin untangling ourselves from urgency and self-doubt
See early emotional and practical shifts
Reconnect with or establish your creative rhythm
Build trust in your voice + how you move
Create momentum that feels rooted
Frequency:
We usually meet weekly or fortnightly — depending on your rhythm, capacity, and what feels supportive. The space is flexible. It allows for breaks, integration, life, and the natural ebb and flow of your creativity.
Investment:
6–12 sessions — starting from £360
(Payment plans available from £120 per month)
For my international friends, £360 ~ $465 USD, €430 or $740 AUD
The investment depends on how often we meet, and how long we work together. We’ll talk it through on your Clarity Call — to make the decision that fits you best; no need to decide now.

Artist, photographer & coach
"Despite my strong vision, as a creative and business owner I was doubting my worth, questioning the value I bring, and I needed clarity and direction for both the business and creative parts of me.
I wanted authenticity, I needed integrity, and I was ready to make the changes I needed. As a beautifully strong and gentle coach at the same time, Kathryn's guidance helped me discover the strength within and realise that it was more than enough being exactly who I am."
Here’s What We Shift
This work adapts to you — but here’s what often gets re-patterned:
You stop trying to 'do it right'
→ And start feeling your way into congruence
You stop chasing confidence
→ And start choosing from rootedness
You stop collecting strategies
→ And start hearing your own internal guidance
You stop writing/posting/making from pressure
→ And start creating from presence
Who This Is For
This space is for you if:
✨ You’re a creative or creatively minded person — artist, writer, self-employed, unsure-but-curious — who wants to explore where to take your work or life next
✨ You’ve built something (e.g. a business, a practice, a career), but something in you is asking for more truth and alignment, not just more output
✨ You’re ready to create from a deeper sense of clarity
✨ You want space to think and feel — with someone who won’t rush you
Slow living & travel writer
“I'm finally taking my work seriously. I've gone from an overworked and insecure blogger who was getting sucked into various social media black holes and worrying about follower numbers, to a confident writer who's focused on her priorities and works on her own terms.
Kathryn is an incredible listener who's there to clear the path you're meant to walk down. She never imposes her own ideas onto your vision. Her coaching will let you discover your own power and you'll learn to trust your own voice.
Those hazy, far-off goals have become clear and realistic. And Kathryn asks the kind of questions that will help you to formulate a practical plan to make it happen.”
"When we started working together, I felt really stuck. I had a totally different outlook, feeling, stories I was telling myself… everything. Now, even though I know there will be times when I still doubt myself, I know what to do. You didn’t give me a list of steps — you showed me the buffet. It was always there, but I didn’t think it was for me. Now I do."

FAQs
Do I need to be actively creating to do this work?
No. Some clients come to this work in a creative pause or transition. What matters isn’t output — it’s your desire to change and explore what the next stage looks like for you.
What if I’m not sure what I want yet?
You don’t need perfect clarity to begin. This space is designed to help you gently explore what’s present and what might be next.
Is this therapy?
No — this is not a substitute for therapy. But it is therapeutic. This work centres on creative rhythm, emotional processing, and identity alignment — not diagnosis or treatment.
What kind of clients do you work with?
I work with smart, creative-leaning (and often neurodivergent) people across various fields. Writers, artists, business owners, and those in creative transitions. What matters most isn’t what you do — it’s your desire for depth, connection, alignment, and a way of moving that feels like you.
How do I know if this is the right space for me?
If something you’ve read here resonates — a sense of “yes, that’s me” or “that’s what I want” — see how it feels to trust that. You don’t need to have all the answers. The clarity comes in the work.
What happens in a Clarity Call?
The Clarity Call is a 60-minute, no-pressure conversation over Zoom. We’ll explore what’s stirring in you, what you want, and whether this space feels aligned. It’s a chance to reflect, breathe, and see what fits.
What if I’m nervous about starting?
That’s normal. We’re working with honesty and reflection, not perfection. You don’t need to be 'ready' — just willing to be present and see where it leads. Plus, I’m a good guide, promise :)
Is there a set curriculum? Will I have to do worksheets?
No — this is personalised coaching, focused on what you need right now. While we'll explore useful tools and strategies, the aim isn't to overwhelm you with information. It's about finding what actually works for you.
Can you do my time zone?
I work with clients all over the world. Asia, Australia, the US, Europe, and the UK (where I'm based). So I'm fairly confident we can find a time that fits, although some time slots (e.g. Australia, western US) may be more limited.
Photographer, writer and producer
“I’ve worked with Kathryn over the last few years, during which she has helped me stop working against myself, organise my thoughts, gain more confidence in my ideas and work, and find a more balanced way of working.
Kathryn is very calm, welcoming, and person-centred in her approach. She offers a very supportive environment and doesn’t rush you. Running a small business as a neurodiverse, disabled, multi-hyphenated creative comes with a lot of challenges, and having support from people like Kathryn is invaluable.”
Ocean Grove
Founder of Conscious Euphoria
“Before we started working together, I wasn't sure where I was going wrong, and I struggled to integrate the different parts of my business into one cohesive thing. Kathryn helped me see a clearer business path and make the changes I needed to make.
Prior to working together, I had lots of ideas that were tangled up and messy, but now I feel like everything is neatly laid out on my website, and it makes so much more sense. My traffic to my website has gone up by 724% in the last year!
I would (and have!) recommended Kathryn to anyone feeling stuck, lost, or even just a bit confused about where they want to take their business. Kathryn is so approachable, down to earth and easy to talk to, our meetings are always something I look forward to.”

You don’t need another five-step plan — just a commitment to start working with what feels true :)
