• Frustrated Creatives go all in and become solvent in their craft.

• Established Creatives level up their growth and impact, and live with financial abundance.

• Successful Creatives rediscover authenticity when they’ve lost their way.

• Creative Entrepreneurs transcend mere corporate metrics to produce meaningful work.

• "Pre-atives" (a.k.a. "Creatives in Waiting") intentionally leverage their lucrative ‘shadow careers’ to fund future time and space for creativity—through long service leave, sabbaticals, or early retirement, or going part time and being better off for it.

• Everyday People reconnect with the creative spark they abandoned—and deeply miss.

“The artist’s task is to save the soul of mankind; and anything less is a dithering while Rome burns. Because of the artists, who are self-selected, for being able to journey into the Other, if the artists cannot find the way, then the way cannot be found”.

Terrence McKenna

Read that quote above again. It’s grandiose. It doesn’t make any grammatical sense. The man who spoke it was as mad as a box of frogs. He was weird. But—like many stone-cold weirdos—I believe he saw through the bullshit and outlined the truth of the thing.

I often say similarly odd things to clients at the very first appointment. Why? Because I believe them. It’s not pretentious to see creativity and artistry as central to personal and societal recovery—unless you’re pretending. I’m not pretending.

The World Is Starving for Your Art.

We are drowning in entertainment but starving for art—your art. Terence McKenna’s words feel more urgent than ever. We lack a transcendent dimension in our lives, and en masse, it’s a catastrophe. Take your pick - whether the crisis is climate change, mental health, or geopolitics, I believe that at the dark heart of it lies a worldview divorced from depth and disconnected from soul.

I believe suppressed artists are canaries in the coal mine for this ‘left-brain coup’ of our day-to-day lives. The exponentially increasing deluge of fresh nonsense at your corporate job, the proliferation of inane jingles (even to screens while we fill up at the petrol pump), everywhere we artists look—all painful noise, very little soulful signal. It is bothersome to most but intolerable to some. Creativity is the tonic that can break this spell for us and those around us—bringing us quite literally back to our senses before we all drive the car off the cliff into a grey, dreamless sleep of dehumanised consumption. You don’t need to quit your well-paying job and live in a yurt to oil-paint, or get a divorce and move to Paris to write your novel. You just need to start. I am starving for art - your art.

Choose your Hard.

As an experienced psychotherapist who has worked across continents with every conceivable type of person—from high-net-worth captains of industry to some of the world’s most marginalised—I’ve seen this void firsthand.

Even when people do all the “right” things—meditate, exercise, take their meds—there’s often a lingering sense of feeling bereft. These practices may be essential, but they aren’t sufficient. If you’re reading this, there’s a strong chance that the still, silent voice within you knows ultimately you’re here to create something, to add something uniquely yours. A baby, a business, a poem, you actually don’t get to choose the altar, just whether or not you worship.

Let me be clear: I’m not suggesting everyone needs to produce work that garners widespread admiration. This isn’t about reaching millions or even hundreds. Creativity may be evenly distributed, but talent certainly isn’t. What matters is recognising the profound influence your creative work has within your sphere of impact. Take parenthood, for example. Regardless of your Instagram following, you’re no “micro-influencer” in the lives of your children. Your creative process—whether it’s journaling, music, or painting—doesn’t need to impress anyone but yourself.

Creating and sharing your work is both pragmatic and transformative. It’s not just about catharsis; it’s about vitality. I can give you the pat-on-the-back to realise and accept this, and then deliver the kick-up-the-ass to reify what’s inside you. It’s undeniably hard to do, but living in that painful gap between who you are and who you could be is equally hard. Choose your hard.

Your creativity is necessary

Resistance often hides as fear, guilt, or self-doubt. You might ask yourself, “Am I being foolish? Selfish?” If you’ve felt the persistent call to create, you already know the answer: creativity isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.

I’m not trying to convince everyone with this copy. In fact, I’m actively discouraging those who aren’t the right fit. Why? Because if you are the right client, I want to make space for you.

This confidence isn’t baseless. I have a track record of immeasurably improving the lives of clients who are ready to step into their creative potential. For those who are truly aligned, the work is transformative. It’s not about a generic, one-size-fits-all process—it’s bespoke, just like the art you’ll create.

Together, we’ll challenge the myth that creating is indulgent or unnecessary. You’re not lazy or foolish—you’re needed. Let’s uncover your best creative work and bring it into the world.

About Me

I’ve always been an artist, but for much of my life, I wore the mask of a polished, professional LinkedIn type. It wasn’t exactly a lie, but it wasn’t the whole truth either. Life has humbled me enough to accept that I’m as wonderfully weird as Terence McKenna. What really matters, though, is being honest and present. In order to take what I do seriously, I have learned I can’t take myself too seriously. My full and personal story is beyond the scope of this, but if we work together, I’ll share how I came to this conclusion and why I’m called to do what I do.

In my psychotherapy practice, I’ve let go of trying to present a certain image. Instead, I show up authentically—and the results for my clients have been extraordinary. This work demands raw honesty from all parties, and your creative recovery is no exception. Like childbirth, it’s messy, scary, and painful, but it’s also worth it in ways you can’t yet imagine.

Chances are, you’re a bit like me—maybe just another David Brent. But you might also be the next David Bowie. Either way, why not give it a red-hot go? As David Brent himself said,

“I can live without being a success, but I couldn’t have lived without trying—and I did that.”

Falling flat on your face is survivable; never trying is not.

I don’t work with passengers or dabblers—not because I can’t help them, but because it takes space from those who are truly ready. I’m not here to convince you to take this journey; I’m here for those who’ve already decided they must.

I’m not a best-selling author or a self-proclaimed guru. The concept of being a ‘personal brand’ is so far beyond me (and makes me dry wretch a little in my mouth if I’m honest). What I bring to the table is the ability to help you clear barriers, uncover potential, and align with your creative purpose. My credentials are on the wall, but my credibility is in the room. I put my own art into the world and walk down the street feeling a little more vulnerable than I’d like—but that’s where the real strength lies. I’m doing it to.

My experience as a psychotherapist has shown me that creativity often holds the key to what lies beyond mental health treatment. Symptom management occurs at the level of the synapse, but personal growth lies at the level of the soul. It isn’t a case of either-or—you can choose both-and. While better relationships, finances, and mental health often follow from our work together, my goal isn’t to ‘fix’ you, because you’re not broken. It’s to help you become your own midwife for your creative journey. The productive creative is far easier to be around than the frustrated one. If you need help right now, that’s okay—I did too. You alone must do it, but you don’t have to do it alone.

I can’t wait to talk to you

If you’ve read this far, you’re ready. Book a clarity call with me. Even just saying, “I am an artist” out loud on a call and having someone witness it is worth the price of admission (and the call is a courtesy). You were not supported appropriately in your childhood to do this or to own this identity. It’s time to find the others. Artists love other artists.

Your art, the world, and I—can’t wait.
