Mindfulness Based Creativity Coach

Integrating who you are with what you do...

How could you be more creative in a way that comes from the deepest part of you, that feels most meaningful?

When we feel blocked, resistant, depressed, anxious, confused, or are straining to be someone else's idea of what we should be, this is reflected in our creative expression and quality of life. We can feel frozen, depressed, anxious, limited, frustrated - in other words, stuck.

Mindfulness Based Creativity Coaching can help you learn to relax, be more aware and present. This relaxation and presence can free blocked energy for authentic, deeply satisfying creative expression and appreciation of daily life. Artistic self expression then becomes an enriching journey of self discovery in which you are more authentically yourself and create naturally from that.

 

What is Mindfulness Based Creativity Coaching?

Who is Mindfulness Based Creativity Coaching for?

Anyone! You may be at the starting post just wanting to start becoming more creative.....

Or be picking up an interest you put down many years ago....

Or be wanting to express yourself but don't know how.....

Or you could be a creative professional wanting to move on to the next stage of your business or creative development.

 

What Happens?

You set the agenda, we clarify what's going on, where you'd like to go and what would help you get there. Together we embark on a journey in which I support you in moving towards where you would like to be. Depending on your inclination, we fluidly and intuitively work with a range of inspiring methods from Life Coaching, Creativity Coaching, Art Teaching, Therapeutic Art, Mindfulness and Meditation. This means that at times we might use coaching methods, and at other times more formal teaching, mindfulness or meditation methods may be more beneficial. Insights fostered through mindful creative artistic practice can be transferred to any other area of personal life and work.

 

How can Mindfulness Based Creativity Coaching help me?

• CLARIFY AND WORK THROUGH BLOCKS, procrastination, resistance, fear, anxiety and negative beliefs sabotaging your personal, creative and professional development
  

• DISCOVER YOURSELF Clarify what is really important, authentic and meaningful in life for you – what are your core values, aspirations, goals and beliefs that make life worth living and creative work worth doing?

• RECONNECT Maybe you are deeply wishing to reconnect with your love of doing art that you experienced many years ago and need support with this to find confidence, focus or learn skills while you get yourself going doing art work.

• MOVE THROUGH A LIFE TRANSITION such as empty nesting, divorce, bereavement, career change, or retirement.

• HEALING Mindfulness Based Creativity Coaching can be part of a path of healing, self discovery and personal development, enabling you to combine creative activity with ME, MS, physical disability, depression and stress. I integrate mindfulness, spiritual counselling, art teaching and coaching to help you connect with and express your deepest self.

• GOING PRO OR MOVING YOUR PRACTICE FORWARD are you wanting to go professional with creative practice but not sure how to do this? If you are a creative professional, you may be wanting support with professional development to move your business forward, deepen and progress your creative work or change direction in what you are doing.

• PERMISSION TO NURTURE YOURSELF Women in particular find difficulty making time to nourish themselves through creative activities. If you are keen to integrate creativity into your life, Mindfulness Based Creativity Coaching can support you in learning to balance creative work with other areas of your life, such as relationships, physical health, social and family life and spirituality.

• COMMITTING TO LONG TERM PRACTICE AND QUALITY Developing a body of creative work takes patience, perseverence and committment, just for starters. Mentoring and coaching can be a tremendous ongoing support, particularly when self doubt, blocks, anxiety and other issues poke their heads up.

• MULTI LEVEL, FLUID APPROACH Depending on your interests and needs, we can work at deeply personal levels and also at very practical, nuts and bolts levels – they are not mutually exclusive and are often both needed,
  

If you feel that you are more interested in art or photography tuition than coaching, please do take a look at my art tuition website at www.creativewayart.com

 

How long are sessions and where?

Session length varies, depending on what you need.

Creativity Coaching sessions can be daytime, evening or weekends.

Your sessions can be in person, by phone, email or Skype.

I also offer Creativity Coaching intensives One-to-One in person as a retreat or break for as many days as you need.

 

How long will I need creativity coaching for?

This depends what your needs and issues are and what would most benefit you. This could be anything from one session to several months or longer. During our initial session we would agree on what feel happy to commit to initially, along with how and when we would review how things are going for you.

Phone 01379 897393 for a free 20 minute consultation when you can ask any questions and explore whether coaching would be beneficial for you.
