Description
A creative coaching experience that treats play as a serious tool for thinking, not a warm-up exercise. Using techniques like collage, character exploration, and visual pathway-mapping, participants externalise a challenge or goal in ways that conversation alone rarely reaches — often surfacing what's really going on faster than talking would. The session holds both structure and freedom: grounded in EMCC coaching standards and built on ISO 45003 principles of psychological safety, so the creativity opens things up rather than feeling exposing. Works as 1:1 coaching or in small groups, no artistic experience needed — you're not being asked to be "good at art," just to think with your hands for a while.
"
When words don't cut it, pick up the scissors."
Benefits
- A multidisciplinary toolkit — art, character work, visualisation, and hands-on making, not just one method
- A practical, tangible outcome each time: something made, mapped, or built — not just insight talked about and forgotten
- New understanding of a barrier or block, explored through creation rather than analysis alone
- Real experimentation — trying an idea out physically before committing to it, lowering the risk of getting it "wrong"
- Access to meaning and instinct that sits underneath the words — things that emerge through making that wouldn't surface in conversation
- Permission to play seriously — creativity used as rigour, not decoration
- A structured, psychologically safe space to explore all of the above without performing

About the Host
Liverpool-based creative coach using play and visual methods to unlock clarity
Freelance Creative Practitioner, Creative Coach and Social Change Facilitator with 15+ years' experience designing learning, creative health, coaching and grassroots community engagement programmes. My practice sits at the intersection of applied theatre, experiential development, and strategic L&D — bridging psychological safety, play-based change, and organisational impact. I design and facilitate immersive, arts-based sessions for leadership teams and global organisations: creative coaching (1:1 and group), play-based change workshops that break through silos and rebuild joy and cohesion, CMI-accredited applied theatre programmes for leadership, and participatory visual storytelling for focus groups and community insight-gathering. My freelance practice is built on ISO 45003 principles (global psychological health & safety) — combining structure with play so people can explore ideas, build confidence, and create meaningful change safely. I've delivered high-intensity consultancy and facilitation across the UK, Philippines, Antigua, Gibraltar, and South Africa, for organisations including Alzheimer's Society, University of Liverpool, Yellow Social Interactive, and Liverpool Football Club. As architect of the IE Academy I drove a 9pp increase in learning access and 300% platform usage growth in its first year. Named in 5app's Voices of L&D to Watch 2026, and dual-nominated for the National British Training Awards 2026.
