The Arts

All the partners at Creative Counsel have worked in different areas of the media and the arts. We understand the extraordinary demands and stresses of that world because we have been there.

We draw on that experience in our work with creative people from all disciplines and across the whole spectrum of the arts.

We understand the creative process itself and the problems that arise around it. We know about the fears; performance anxiety, self sabotage, procrastination and self doubt. We know about the blocks; perfectionism, inability to focus and feeling overwhelmed.

We see vulnerability and openness as creative strengths and recognise the courage it takes to put yourself out there - on the stage, on the canvas, on the screen, on the page - to be judged. We work with you to find and enhance your resilience and self-belief to support and balance those qualities.

Creative Counsel provides workplace mediation when professional relationships become difficult or conflicted and counselling to help improve those relationships and allow the work to continue.

We consult with arts organisations and related businesses to create tailor made coaching programs to remedy problems, improve performance, implement change, and develop inspired and inspiring leadership.

We also work with companies and organisations from the wider world of business that are interested in exploring a more creative approach to the challenges facing them.
