Coaching and consulting for anyone shaping their creative identity, vision, and work.

What we do

A Creative Block is a coaching and consulting practice for people and teams whose meaningful work has stopped moving.

We believe creative exploration and work deserve more curiosity and thoughtful support, with spaces to brainstorm ideas, work through what is not working and speak honestly about the struggles of being creative or bringing a project into being.

Questions

The things people ask first.

Is this coaching or therapy?

Coaching and creative consulting—not therapy. We work on the block and the project in front of you. If something sits deeper than our remit, we will say so and help you find the right support.

Do I need to be a professional artist?

No. If you make things—work, research, a business, a body of writing—and you are stuck on something that matters, this is for you. You do not need to call yourself an artist.

What actually happens in a session?

We find the most likely mechanism behind the stuckness, read the terrain around it, and match a response—coaching, consulting, learning or recovery. You leave with a clear read and a sensible first move.

Can you help a whole team?

Yes. For organisations we offer team workshops, multi-week Creative Resets, ongoing advisory, and talks or speaking sessions—working on live projects, briefs, feedback, roles, decisions and pace.

What makes this different from a typical coach or creative consultant?

We work with both the person and the project. Coaching stays client-led: questions and reflection help you find your own answers. With your agreement, consulting lets us think alongside you more directly through ideas, opinions, feedback and practical suggestions. We do not claim specialist expertise in every creative discipline; when the work needs that, we say so.
