Creative Courage Mentoring

For those ready for deep transformation, Creative Courage Mentoring is a six-month journey that pairs private 1:1 Creative Essence work with full membership of the Creative Courage Circle.

Creative Courage Mentoring is for you if:

  • You’re an established creative who’s at a creative crossroads or breakthrough moment

  • You’re ready to go deep to explore your creative blocks and patterns

  • You want private intensive work coupled with the support of being in a community in which others are exploring the same challenges

  • You’re a creator launching something significant (a book, a business, a big project of some kind)

  • You’ve done therapy/coaching before but never applied it to your creative practice

It’s NOT for you if:

  • You’re looking for quick fixes or formulas

  • You’re not willing to do some powerful inner work

  • You’re a creative who just want technical skills (I’m not here to be a writing teacher)

  • You’re not ready to share their work with others (even if you’re scared to do so)

  • You’re seeking passive content consumption without participation

In our work together, we explore how the core fears and survival patterns that have kept you stuck can become fuel for your most authentic creative expression. We gently expand your comfort zone to allow you to be more comfortable with expressing yourself. And we embark on a journey of re-uniting you with your Essence: that unique light that allows you to be your fullest self in the world.

When we familiarise ourselves with who we are—in the shadowy places we want to keep hidden, as well as the light that illuminates the world—we’re more fully alive.

If you’re ready to undergo this powerful transformation, get in touch. You can drop me a message here on Substack (I respond to all of them) or book a 30 minute complimentary Zoom call.

What’s next in your creative journey?

As your guide into creative courage, I’m here to help you transform those invisible blocks—the fear and shame that live beneath the surface—so you can express authentically and freely.

Here’s how I can support you:

Make an appointment for a virtual coffee (free). I hold 3-4 slots every month for a 20-minute chat so we can either get to know each other, or reconnect. This is for everyone! Perfect if you’re curious about meeting new people and making, or deepening, connections.

Book a 30-minute Creative Breakthrough call (free) to gently uncover the exact fear or limiting belief sabotaging your creative expression so you can finally share your work with confidence

Read my manifesto for creative courage (free). Follow my story in serial form about the core principles of my creativity, my journey into creative courage and why I founded Wordplay Coaching.

There are two options for working with me.

You can join the Creative Courage Circle, a community whose members are committed to authentic expression. It’s an ongoing group that supports writers, artists, creators and entrepreneurs to recognise their creative blocks, then embrace the value of their voice and witness the Creative Essence—the unique light—in others.

For those ready for deep transformation, Creative Courage Mentoring pairs private 1:1 Creative Essence work with full membership of the Creative Courage Circle—transforming the core fears and patterns that have kept you stuck into fuel for your most authentic creative expression.
