Coaching & Teaching

Creative Crisis - Creative Conversations

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 can help with (for example): finding time, space and inner connection to work; self-awareness and creating sustainable, healthy working processes; moving past blockages; inner judgement and critical voices; organising ideas and themes; experimenting with different approaches; listening supportively and non-judgementally, offering the chance to be seen and heard more fully.

Please email me if you are interested in chatting: kirstywhatley@hotmail.com

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