Creative block session
One session to find what is actually in the way.
What it is
A single focused conversation about a real piece of work that will not move. No preparation, no reading, no framework to learn first. You bring the situation as it is and we look at it together.
Most people arrive able to describe what keeps happening—the circling, the preparing, the quiet avoidance—without being able to say why. That is the normal starting point, and naming it is part of the work rather than something to do beforehand.
Who it is for
For anyone with a specific project, piece or practice that has stalled, who wants to understand the pattern before committing to anything longer.
What it costs
Online, or in person in Lisbon.
If you go on to book a pack of sessions within two weeks, the €130 comes off the pack price.
Reduced-fee places are available for people in financial difficulty, and for people underrepresented in creative work. Just ask.
How it works
What actually happens.
- 01
Tell us what is happening
You describe the work and what keeps happening instead of progress. Nothing to prepare or read beforehand—bring the situation as it is.
- 02
Work out what is in the way
We look for the specific thing blocking the work, and rule out the things that only look like it: a missing skill, an unclear brief, or plain exhaustion.
- 03
Check that it fits
We test that reading against your real experience of the work, and change it if it does not match what you recognise.
- 04
Agree what to try next
You leave with one specific thing to try in the project, small enough that you will actually do it.
What you leave with
A clear read, and one move to make.
Good to know
A few common questions.
How does it run?
One focused session, online or in person in Lisbon. We give it the time it needs rather than watching a clock.
Do I need to know what my block is first?
No. A real project and a sense of what keeps happening instead is enough.
What if one session is not enough?
Then we say so, and tell you what we think would help. Equally, if we think you have what you need, we say that too.
Will you tell me what to make?
No. We work on what is in the way of the work, not on the creative decisions themselves.
Not sure this is the right starting point? See all the ways to work together, or get in touch and we will help you choose.
