Alongside my Person-Centred Counselling training, I've completed additional neuro-affirming training with Aspire Autism Consultancy, helping me better understand neurodivergent experiences through a strengths-based, affirming lens. I continue to develop my knowledge through ongoing professional training and reading.

I'm currently completing my Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling and am a Student Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). My work is guided by the BACP Ethical Framework, and I receive regular clinical supervision as part of my training.

Creative Mentoring sits somewhere between coaching, counselling, and creative exploration. It's a space to slow down, better understand yourself, and explore challenges from a different perspective. The focus isn't on giving advice or telling you what to do, but helping you uncover what feels right for you.

Not at all. In fact, many people who work with me don't consider themselves creative. When I talk about creativity, I'm referring to a way of thinking: curiosity, flexibility, openness, and the ability to explore new possibilities.

Yes, where appropriate. I work with neurodivergent teens and young adults aged 14+, alongside a parent where it would be helpful. A formal diagnosis isn't necessary. Whether you're waiting for an assessment, have recently begun exploring neurodivergence, or are simply looking for a better understanding of your teen's experiences, sessions provide a supportive, neuro-affirming space to explore what they're finding difficult and build on their strengths.

No. While my approach is influenced by my training in Person-Centred Counselling, Creative Mentoring is not a substitute for therapy. It is a reflective, supportive space that combines conversation with creative thinking to help you better understand yourself and navigate change.

Every session is different because every person is different. Some sessions are entirely conversational, while others may include simple creative or reflective exercises. We begin with whatever feels most important to you and work from there.

People often come to me when they're experiencing a transition or feeling stuck. This might include menopause, neurodivergence, burnout, creative block, career changes, relationship changes, settling after a nomadic lifestyle, technology overwhelm, or simply a feeling that life no longer feels quite right.

I offer creative mentoring in Manchester, as well as online sessions for clients across the UK and internationally.

Traditional coaching is often focused on goals, performance, and action plans. Creative Mentoring is more exploratory. Rather than trying to fix a problem quickly, we take time to understand what's really going on and what you need moving forward.

There is no right answer. Some people find a short series of sessions gives them the clarity they need, while others benefit from longer-term support.

For first timers, you would have to book 6 sessions minimum, because meaningful change and insight usually take time. The sessions build on one another and create space to explore things more deeply than is often possible in a single conversation.

If you're unsure, we can discuss what feels most appropriate during an introductory call.

At the moment I work in packages because meaningful change and insight usually take time. The sessions build on one another and create space to explore things more deeply than is often possible in a single conversation.

If you're looking for a space to think more clearly, better understand yourself, and explore what's next without judgement or pressure, there's a good chance it could be a good fit. The best way to find out is to book a free 20-minute exploratory call and we can talk through what you're looking for. Book here
