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 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. I can help with issues such as: creative confusion, identity, inner critics and blockages, and more.

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

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