Support for Artists and Writers

  • Emotional difficulties blocking your creativity?
  • Lack of confidence hampering progress?
  • Your work just fine, but the rest of your life a struggle?
  • Working alone and need to share ups and downs with someone outside your network of family, friends, and colleagues?
  • Leading / part of a collaborative project and need support on managing the process and/or improving communication?
  • Looking for a counsellor / psychotherapist with an insight into the creative process?

Writing and other creative work - music, dance, art, design, performance - inevitably has its ups and downs. Often these can be ridden out with the help of family, friends, and colleagues. But sometimes it can be easier and more effective to seek support from someone independent.

After an initial discussion over the phone, work will usually begin with a face to face session. If appropriate, later work can take place over the phone. Short and long term work undertaken as required.

£35/session. Initial consultation: £20.

Call 07779 036 924 for an informal and confidential chat about the support service for artists and writers.


For writers, I can offer additional support in developing writing skills as well as supporting you in your creative process. For more details about work with writers see the Writing Coach page.

Obliquely Productive

Obliquely Productive is an app for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.

I wrote it to help jog me out of creative blocks and encourage me in a supportive way on those occasions when I get stuck.

If you make things – whether artistic, practical, or academic – then you might find this a useful tool.

In the UK it costs 59p.
