Coaching: unlock your potential
Need some creative help?
You’re in the right place.
Are you finding it hard to get started or to keep going with your writing project?
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by too many ideas, can’t find the time to write, or you’re struggling with confidence, I can help.
Working with me as your coach, you’ll get clear on your priorities, work through inner and outer obstacles, challenge that inner critic, and make time and space to move towards where you really want to be.
Perhaps you want to finish your novel, decide which project to take on next, or simply make space for your creative work?
Maybe you’ve already been published, but you want to be more daring or change direction?
Whatever your reason for landing here - coaching is your space.
I take a person-centric approach, which means you get a place to reflect, reconnect to your values, explore your options, energise yourself, and be held accountable.
My coaching style is warm and encouraging, and together we’ll create a safe space to explore and work towards your writing dreams.
My Coaching Experience
I qualified as an Action Learning Facilitator and Relational Dynamics Coach in 2009. Since then, I’ve worked with writers and creatives, both as individuals and groups, across the arts, education, business, and third-sector spaces.
I believe in the transformational power of coaching. Coaching changed my life and relationships for the better, so I’m passionate about the benefits.

“Carys' creative coaching has been an anchor and an accelerator. Her deep, attentive listening; her gentle yet strong questions alongside her wise counsel have been excellent allies in my own creative process… I've gained courage and confidence, as well as practical writing support. Carys is a rare treasure, one I am very grateful to have found.”
Clare Mulvany, Writer and Mentor
How I work with you:
Once you get in touch, we’ll arrange a no-obligation 30-minute introductory call where we can get to know each other a little better. After this, you’ll decide if you want to go forwards with me as your coach or not. (Read more about what the call involves here.)
You can then choose whether to book individual sessions as and when you need them, or a five session package. You can have coaching as often as you want, or space the appointments out, we’ll talk about what might work best in the introductory call.
If you book a package, I’ll send you some exploratory journal prompts to clarify your thinking before our first session.
We’ll then work through the 60-minute online Zoom coaching sessions, scheduled to suit us both. Each session will be different as we follow what you need to clarify and resolve.
I will always hold space for you by actively listening, asking questions, paraphrasing or reflecting back what you have said. This helps you get an idea of what might be stopping you and to work out ways of moving forwards or making changes.
We agree an action at the end of each session, or a point to reflect on between sessions. I’ll email you this and send you a link to book our next meeting whenever suits you. I encourage you to email me between meetings for accountability when you get things done.
In our final session, we’ll review and reflect on your progress and celebrate your wins. I also offer a follow up exercise for you to do in your own time to close off the process.
There’s always the option to book additional adhoc sessions or a new package if you want to keep going, or simply take a break and come back if and when you need more support.
