Creative Mentoring
Support to help you get started & keep going
Your creativity matters.
Getting starting, and keeping going with any creative project is challenging. It can be hard to make time, sort through ideas, build a creative rhythm. And it can be equally demanding to learn the discipline and craft of developing a project- whether that be a book or business, both at the idea stage, and in at the expansion stage. Keeping your confidence and the ‘why’ of the project going throughout an often messy process is critical to success.
Bring your creative project to life
If you have an idea or are currently working mentoring packages are here to support you. I can help by:
Supporting you with mapping initial ideas using a range of creative ideation, brainstorming and visioning tools.
Crafting and refining the core messages or themes of the work.
If you are working on a writing project, I can offer guidance and feedback on shaping the structure and narrative.
Creating an accountability partnership and on-going ‘check-in’ support.
Offering writing prompts and creative thinking tools.
Working with inner obstacles, limiting beliefs and motivation.
Keeping the ‘why’ and spirit of the project to the forefront of the creative process.

How it works
All sessions take place online. You have the option of having the session recorded.
You book and pay for your one-off session in advance. Sessions are non-refundable. Schedule your session via my online booking system. Payment plans are available for longer mentoring programmes.
If you need to reschedule your booking, you can do so- but I’ll need at least 24 hours notice.
When you book a one off workshop, fill in a brief questionnaire to tell me a little more about your wish for the session, and your project or preliminary ideas.
Sessions work best when accessed in a private, quiet space, and from a desktop or laptop rather than a phone or tablet. In fact, it is best when your phone is off too- that way there are less distractions.
Bring along a notebook, some coloured pens and some sticky notes if you have them. They often come in handy.
For on-going mentoring arrangements, you will be required to fill in a contract of agreement.
