1:1 CREATIVE MENTORING

Who is 1:1 Creative Mentoring for?

This is for anyone who is feeling stuck, trapped or uncertain. It could be that you thinking about a career change or a change in life direction but lack the confidence or strategy to move forward. You may feel the need to change but you don’t know what that might look like. You may have been running a creative business for a while but are in a rut and are not sure how to progress. You may have lots of brilliant ideas and are buzzing with enthusiasm but you are not sure what to focus on and you need an impartial, experienced ear to listen to your plans. You may feel that you are lacking inspiration and feel disengaged from your craft. It is very easy to feel self-doubt and frustration which can create a cycle of negativity which can be hard to get out of on your own.

These sessions are designed to hold a space for you to discuss ideas, to find the path forward, to explore what any blocks might be, what beliefs may be holding you back or affecting your confidence. I am a very experienced teacher and mentor and have been running my business for 17 years. I also worked for many years as a senior lecturer in higher education and have had a lot of experience juggling a ‘proper’ job with a creative one and helping students to overcome a lack of confidence and self belief. I can (and will!) offer advice but my particular skill is in enabling you to find the answers and the confidence you need within yourself to unlock your potential.

What does 1:1 Creative Mentoring include?

Most people come and have a day with me in my studio at Doddington Hall where we can really focus on what you need. This may be a whole day of talking and working through issues or we might do a combination of talking and creative work. Either way the sessions are designed specifically to discover what you need to develop, bloom and grow. You may want to do just half a day in the first instance and we can do this either in the studio or online. If you felt that you needed ongoing support then we could do hourly sessions either online or face to face in the studio.

The Practical Stuff

In the first instance get in touch by email or give me a call and we can talk through what you need. The session will be tailored specifically for you and so the cost will depend on what you need and what would work best.
