It’s 3am

You’re lying in bed and can’t fall asleep.

• You keep replaying the day in your head.
• Thinking about your endless to-do list for tomorrow
• Worrying about that big decision you need to make
• Feeling bad about that thing that happened a long time ago that still haunts you

From day-to-day stress to challenging life transitions, to unresolved trauma, life can make us feel anxious, fragmented, and sometimes like we’re falling apart.

What if creativity could be the missing piece you didn’t know you needed to feel whole?

Making art is a…

STRESS-BUSTER

Nervous system regulator

Joy generator

At a loss for words?

What if making art could express the things you’ve been unable to express, so you no longer have to carry them around?

I believe art-making is one of the most powerful healing and transformation tools out there.

And best of all, you don’t have to…

• set aside hours every day
• dredge up your darkest experiences
• have a dedicated studio space

What if scribbling, doodling, and slinging paint could calm your nervous system and alleviate stress and overwhelm?

Good news! It can! And I’ll be right by your side to show you how and to support you through these 1:1 coaching sessions!

coaching payful sessions

Our 1:1 sessions can be playful, deep and everything in between.

It’s not about making pretty art, it’s about tapping more deeply into your inner compass.

But rest assured, you will walk away with many techniques that will bolster your confidence in making art YOUR way.

Our focus is on your inner work:

  • personal healing and awareness
  • inviting more creativity into your life
  • developing a self-care practice you can turn to in daily life when life gets overwhelming

Zoom sessions will be perfect for you.

I’ll give you a simple and affordable supplies list and you’ll get a copy of our session recordings.

What to expect from a first session:

Every session is tailored to your needs and often takes on a life of its own as I get to know you! But here is a loose guide!

We usually start with checking in with where you are emotionally and what your needs/goals are. I then tune in and decide how our session should start.

There will be warm-up exercises designed for loosening up and letting go. So even if you’re a complete beginner to art, don’t worry! Making a mess on the page is all part of the magic of the process.

We may do exercises:

to promote playfulness

to familiarise yourself with the tools and materials

to connect more deeply with yourself

involving stream of consciousness writing

on paper or you may want to bring your own canvas to go bigger

where I guide you or where you guide yourself

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be an artist? What if I’m not that creative?
No, you definitely don’t need to be an artist because these coaching sessions aren’t about creating masterpieces! They’re about the deep inner work we’ll do. So it’s all about the process, not the outcome! Beginners are absolutely welcome and encouraged to participate! All you need is a willingness to be open to the process. I find beginners are often the most free and get the most out of the process as a result. This is your chance to get messy, scribbling and blobby! Let it all hang out on the page, so you can let go of perfectionism and experience true freedom of expression!
Is this art therapy? Or how is it different?
This is not art therapy, though it is a therapeutic practice, which probably sounds confusing, so let me explain the difference! Traditional art therapy exercises are more literal. This is more of an organic and non-literal approach to tapping into our creativity as a source of healing and well-being. I won’t be asking you to paint your feelings. We’ll just express what wants to come through you during our sessions. It doesn’t have to be a literal expression to be deeply healing.
Are you a therapist? Is this a good replacement to therapy?

I see my work as a wonderful support/supplement to therapy work, not as a replacement. While I do hold an MA in Clinical Psychology and know how to hold a trauma-informed space for people, I am not a licensed psychotherapist. Both traditional therapy AND creative practices have been essential to my own healing journey and I recommend both to you too!

What if I need to cancel or want to reschedule my appointment?
Please note that I require at least 48 hours to reschedule your coaching session and there are no refunds for coaching sessions purchased. Thanks for honoring the cancellation policy.
What if I am nervous to talk about my feelings or personal issues?
This is so normal and I completely understand it feels vulnerable to share parts of yourself with someone new. As someone who has gone through a range of difficult traumas in my lifetime, I can hold space for all of your experiences and can offer a lot of empathy and compassion. I’m here for you. The good thing about transformational creativity coaching is that you don’t have to talk about your difficult emotions if you don’t want to. You can let your art do the talking, which is incredibly freeing and allows the process to feel a lot safer and less intimidating.
How are you qualified to help me?
I’ve helped numerous people heal and grow through art over the last 17 years. My own lived experience with how art has healed my life, combined with my practical experience holding an MA in Clinical Psychology allows me to go deep with people.
.
Are online sessions secure? Will I be recorded?
Yes, your sessions will be recorded with your permission so you can listen back later and provided to you privately and securely for your eyes only. If you prefer not to be recorded, simply let me know and we won’t.
Is there anything I need to bring to my sessions?
For in-person sessions, just bring yourself! All supplies will be provided to you. While I will provide you with an apron, I recommend that you wear something you’re not afraid to get a bit of paint on! For Zoom sessions, you will need to provide your own art supplies. I will provide you with a list so you know exactly what to get!
How will I know if this is the right fit to help me?

I recommend you jump on a 15-minute discovery call with me. In this call, we can talk about your goals and see if coaching is the best option for you. I’m excited to connect! Click here to book a free discovery call!
