Coaching for creative people at work

For thinkers, builders, and shapers – from senior leaders to emerging talent.

When creative people feel supported, they do their best and most meaningful work

Creative people drive ideas forward and shape culture. Their work sparks conversations, brings stories to life, and moves audiences. It shapes how we think, connect, and imagine.

But this work asks a lot in return. The pace is fast, deadlines pile up, and feedback loops turn quickly. Over time, even the most experienced and passionate people can start to feel the strain.

You may notice it across your team:

  • Running on empty while keeping up appearances

  • Struggling to hold healthy boundaries, drifting toward burnout

  • Feeling disconnected from their creative spark

  • Caught in self-doubt, comparison, and uncertainty about the future

  • Wishing for a more grounded, sustainable way to work

This is where coaching offers something vital.

Not a quick fix, but a space to pause. A room to reflect and grow, so your people can keep doing work that matters.

What coaching makes possible

When people feel supported, they don’t just get by – they thrive.

They bring renewed focus, confidence, and creativity to their work. And they contribute in ways that matter, to themselves, their teams, and their organisations.

Through personalised, one-to-one coaching, I help creative professionals:

Find clarity and focus
Cut through competing priorities and reconnect with what matters.

Strengthen confidence and self-trust
Move past self-doubt and make clear, grounded decisions.

Manage stress and set boundaries
Sustain healthy ways of working in demanding environments.

Reconnect with creativity and motivation
Move through blocks and make space for new ideas to emerge.

Make intentional, values-led decisions
Align daily choices with what matters most, both for themselves and the organisation.

Coaching offers more than tools. It gives your people perspective, renewed energy, and a clearer way forward in their work (and life).

When your people thrive, so does your organisation

Coaching doesn’t just support individuals, it strengthens teams and shapes cultures. It helps create organisations where people stay, contribute, and do work that matters. Coaching can lead to:

Stronger retention and loyalty
When people feel supported, they stay, strengthening culture and reducing turnover.

Fewer sick days and reduced burnout
Healthier ways of working lower stress and help people show up fully.

More creativity and fresh thinking
When people reconnect with their creativity, they bring new ideas and solve problems with fresh energy.

A more connected and positive culture
Prioritising well-being fosters trust, collaboration, and a sense of belonging.

A stronger reputation as a people-first organisation
Investing in growth and well-being attracts and keeps top creative talent.

Coaching isn’t about pushing for more. It’s about creating space so people feel clear, capable, and engaged. When they do, meaningful results follow.

Coaching creates lasting, measurable shifts

Every coaching journey is personal. But across organisations, the benefits are clear.

According to the International Coaching Federation’s Global Coaching Study (2020):

  • 70% report stronger confidence, communication, relationships, and performance.

  • 86% of organisations see a positive return on investment.

  • 96% would repeat the coaching process.

  • 99% report satisfaction with the experience.

For creative teams, coaching offers more than strategies or solutions. It creates space for reflection, deeper self-trust, and meaningful change, so people can contribute with clarity and renewed energy.

Working together

I partner with organisations in the creative industries who want to support their people to work well, stay inspired, and grow sustainably.

Coaching can be integrated in many ways, depending on your needs. It may be offered as part of:

  • Employee well-being and support programmes

  • Professional development and leadership pathways

  • Creative and cultural initiatives to retain and nurture talent

If you’re interested in exploring coaching for individuals or teams, I’d love to connect. We can start with an informal conversation to discuss what might be right for your organisation.
