From tangled to brilliant
Coaching for creative minds who keep circling the same ideas, and know there’s more waiting underneath the noise.
What we’re all after…
You want your creative work — and your life around it — to be fulfilling.
(Who doesn’t want time and space to think, create, make and share their work, and then have time left over for all the other fun stuff in life?)
You want to earn an income that feels good and sustainable.
(We’re not talking about 70k months here, but also, you want space — so you have time to breathe between your ideas, the delivery, and sending out the invoice.)
And you want it to make sense, together.
(Because you’re probably multi-passionate, or at least multi-interested, and you’d love to weave it all together in a way that makes sense in your head and in the outside world.)
But, let’s be honest — being a creative can be hard.
You need to know how to make your work, sell it, market it, post about it — and manage everything, as well as keeping up with whatever platform or trend is happening this week/this month/this year.
No wonder it often feels crowded in there. No wonder things start to feel fuzzy, you question your direction… and the next step, suddenly feels unclear.
What keeps getting in the way…
As you may have noticed, you’re not suffering from a lack of skill or ideas. However, there’s a mental static that builds up when you’re a creative human trying to make a living, juggling everything in your head, and not being able to see the woods for the trees.
It’s the overthinking that sneaks in when you try to make a decision. Or the smattering of doubt that spirals into another round of second-guessing. And before you know it, you’re not taking action (again), and it’s starting to feel a little too familiar…
Maybe you’re someone like this:
☐ You’ve built something that technically works, but doesn’t work for you anymore.
☐ You’re sitting on a project — a product launch, a body of artwork, a film, a book — but can’t quite bring yourself to start (or keep going).
☐ You’ve outgrown your old niche, product suite, or clients, but can’t see what comes next.
☐ You’re tired of hearing your own internal monologue about “needing to be more consistent.”
☐ You know that making money matters, but your brain feels like it has forty-seven browser tabs open — all asking for attention.
☐ You keep thinking, “I should be able to figure this out,” but the more you try, the more tangled it gets — and the more pressure you start to feel.
It’s not laziness or lack of discipline. It’s that you’ve been trying to solve a 'thinking problem' with more thinking — at the same level you’ve already tried.
This isn’t a problem of strategy or information.
It’s a problem of perspective.
You’ve taken the courses, you’ve read the books. You’ve watched the videos about motivation, ideal clients, and productivity hacks. You’ve done the work — and you’ve gotten this far. (Which is amazing; imagine if you hadn’t.)
But, something’s still tangled underneath. You can feel it, you just can’t quite put your finger on it — let alone know what to do with it.
This is where coaching comes in.
Imagine a space where your ideas can finally land — where they’re given enough room to take root and take shape.
Where your doubts quiet down, start to fade, and maybe even melt into the background.
And those tiny, invisible threads that were keeping you stuck — the ones you couldn’t quite name — start to loosen.
You see them clearly. And as you do, they fall away, one by one, like strands of a spider’s web.
Funnily enough, that’s when movement happens again.
Your confidence creeps back in, your energy shifts, and you start stepping in the direction that feels right.
Momentum builds; not from force, but from finally believing — and feeling — where you’re going.
"I had been approaching my business from ‘how do I make money,’ but I realised first I needed to fall back in love with my work. Now I have far more clarity on what I want, and it looks completely different — and it feels so much more fulfilling. Kathryn doesn’t tell you what you should do — she gives you the skills to answer your own questions, with self-trust and confidence."

What we do in coaching:
In short, this is about dismantling expectations and crafting some new ways of working.
We look at external strategy — what you need to make your creative practice or business work for you — and internal clarity: the vision you’re moving toward, and the thoughts or assumptions that might be clouding your decisions. The goal is to make sure these are aligned, so each part of you and your business is pulling in the same direction.
Often, outdated beliefs are quietly preventing you from moving forward — so together, we gently uncover and start to rewrite them. Because when you’re no longer second-guessing yourself, taking action feels easier. You’re not pushing; you’re now pulled. Decisions feel easier. Energy returns. And the hesitation? Might quieten down so much, it disappears.
Why it works:
Coaching works because we look at the underlying root causes of the resistance that’s stopping you.
We don’t just ‘push harder’ to get you over it. We work to change your perspective, so the mental hurdles in your brain are now more like bumps in the road.
It works because you’re no longer forcing yourself past resistance (and maybe making yourself exhausted in the process). You’re strategically listening to it, so we know what to do with it — and remove it (or lessen it).
We’re not stacking more plans on top of the fog; we’re making room to see first.
Because when your vision, strategy, and beliefs are fully aligned — not based on what you should want, or what’s worked for someone else — the resistance lifts. You still need to create the path — but you’re no longer questioning it; the next step is obvious.
Artist, photographer & coach
"Despite my strong vision, as a creative and business owner I was doubting my worth, questioning the value I bring, and I needed clarity and direction for both the business and creative parts of me.
I wanted authenticity, I needed integrity, and I was ready to make the changes I needed. As a beautifully strong and gentle coach at the same time, Kathryn's guidance helped me discover the strength within and realise that it was more than enough being exactly who I am."
The Practical Details
So what does working together actually look like?
We meet on Zoom, 1:1, for one hour — usually weekly or every fortnight.
It’s spacious, organic, intuitive, and focused; part reflection, part problem-solving. Sometimes it’s strategic — clarifying offers, direction, priorities. Sometimes it’s deeper — finding what’s really holding you back. Often, it’s both at once. And by the end of each session, there’s usually a next step that feels obvious and doable — not because we 'forced it', but because the tangled threads are no longer stopping you.
When we first work together, I usually recommend starting with 6 to 12 sessions. This gives us enough time for you to see tangible shifts in your work output, but also how you relate to yourself while doing it.
Investment:
Usually 6–12 sessions — £420 for 6 sessions.
(Payment plans available from £140 per month)
For my international friends, £420 ~ $560 USD, €480 or $860 AUD
The investment depends on how often we meet and how long we work together. We can discuss to find out what fits best for you.

Slow living & travel writer
“I'm finally taking my work seriously. I've gone from an overworked and insecure blogger who was getting sucked into various social media black holes and worrying about follower numbers, to a confident writer who's focused on her priorities and works on her own terms.
Kathryn is an incredible listener who's there to clear the path you're meant to walk down. She never imposes her own ideas onto your vision. Her coaching will let you discover your own power and you'll learn to trust your own voice.
Those hazy, far-off goals have become clear and realistic. And Kathryn asks the kind of questions that will help you to formulate a practical plan to make it happen.”
This is for you if:
✨ You’re a creatively minded person — artist, writer, self-employed, unsure-but-curious — who wants more momentum, more traction, a new or more clarified direction… and needs help figuring that out.
✨ You’ve got something (e.g. a business, a practice, a career, ideas!), but something within you is asking for more truth and alignment, not just more output.
✨ You’re ready to create from a deeper sense of conviction and internal clarity.
✨ You want space to think and feel and make sense of it all — with someone who won’t rush you.
This is not for you if you want a strategy in a box solution or a proven blueprint.

"When we started working together, I felt really stuck. I had a totally different outlook, feeling, stories I was telling myself… everything. Now, even though I know there will be times when I still doubt myself, I know what to do. You didn’t give me a list of steps — you showed me the buffet. It was always there, but I didn’t think it was for me. Now I do."

FAQs
Do I need to be actively creating to do this work?
No. Some clients come to this work in a period of creative questioning or transition. What matters isn’t output; it’s your willingness to commit to and explore what the next stage looks like for you.
What if I’m not sure what I want yet?
You don’t need 100% clarity to begin. This space is designed to help you explore this. We find our options often open up the more we give ourselves permission to 'not know all the answers.'
Is this therapy?
No. This is not a substitute for therapy. This work centres on creative rhythms and tendencies, emotional processing, your relationship with yourself, and working out what works for you — in the context of your creative work and/or business.
This does involve looking at your current thoughts and feelings, and at times, examining where they come from — but this is not meant to be a deep-dive into your past or everything that has made you, you.
How do I know if this is the right space for me?
If something you’ve read here resonates, see where that curiosity takes you. You don’t need to have all the answers; that’s what conversations are for.
What happens in a Consultation Call?
The Consultation Call is a 60-minute, organic conversation over Zoom. We discuss where you’re at right now, what you might want to change, and if coaching might be helpful.
What if I’m nervous about starting?
That’s normal, and very human! We’re working with honesty and reflection, not perfection. You don’t need to be 'ready' — just willing to be present and see where it leads. Plus, I’m a good guide, promise :)
Is there a set curriculum? Will I have to do worksheets?
No — this is personalised coaching, focused on what you need right now. While we'll explore useful tools and strategies, the aim isn't to overwhelm you with information. It's about finding what actually works for you.
Can you do my time zone?
I work with clients all over the world. Asia, Australia, the US, Europe, and the UK (where I'm based). So I'm fairly confident we can find a time that fits, although some time slots may be more limited.
Photographer, writer and producer
“I’ve worked with Kathryn over the last few years, during which she has helped me stop working against myself, organise my thoughts, gain more confidence in my ideas and work, and find a more balanced way of working.
Kathryn is very calm, welcoming, and person-centred in her approach. She offers a very supportive environment and doesn’t rush you. Running a small business as a neurodiverse, disabled, multi-hyphenated creative comes with a lot of challenges, and having support from people like Kathryn is invaluable.”

“Before we started working together, I wasn't sure where I was going wrong, and I struggled to integrate the different parts of my business into one cohesive thing. Kathryn helped me see a clearer business path and make the changes I needed to make.
Prior to working together, I had lots of ideas that were tangled up and messy, but now I feel like everything is neatly laid out on my website, and it makes so much more sense. My traffic to my website has gone up by 724% in the last year!
I would (and have!) recommended Kathryn to anyone feeling stuck, lost, or even just a bit confused about where they want to take their business. Kathryn is so approachable, down to earth and easy to talk to, our meetings are always something I look forward to.”
