Creativity Coaching & Mentoring

Is your creative process feeling blocked or stagnant? Do you feel disconnected from your art in a way that makes you prefer to avoid it? Are you trying to fit your unique creativity and creative process into a box in which it doesn’t fit? Or have you always wanted to pursue a creative outlet but don’t know where to start?

I can help you navigate through all these problems and more.

The mentoring service is fully customisable depending on what each individual needs at the time. I only have a limited number of available mentoring slots each month.
