Coaching & Support
Creative and Expressive Artist Support
Are you a creative who would value space and time to talk? Who’d like to unfold a problem or an evolving project with a listener who is from an arts/creative background?
I am trained in creativity coaching, active listening and as a trauma-sensitive writing guide. I offer specialised listening/conversation time for creatives. I listen supportively and non-judgementally, offering you the chance to be heard more fully and providing a sounding board where, perhaps, you hear yourself anew.
Please email me if you are interested in chatting: kirstywhatley@hotmail.com.

I am based at home in Huntly, Aberdeenshire or online anywhere.
