About Me

With over 20 years of experience supporting artists and creative professionals, I am a writer, curator, lecturer, mentor, and coach. I am a trained Relational Dynamics 1st coach, skilled in providing a safe, supportive space for creative people to explore their goals and achieve their potential. My approach helps individuals access their personal resources and develop solutions that are unique to them.

Drawing on my expertise as a yoga and meditation teacher, I integrate mindful practices to help you stay present and connected to your body as you work through your creative process.

What Coaching Clients Say

“Creative Expansion was a beautiful chance to take the time to go within, to reflect and really explore who you are creatively and who you want to be in a safe space.”

“One of the best investments I have made for myself, my art, and my personal growth. I always come out of our sessions with a feeling of being lighter, more able, more myself. It’s a reconnection to myself, and Ellen has a wonderful gift for gently suggesting and guiding so that I could find my true self again when I’ve wandered off.”

“The coaching journey I took with Ellen was profound. Through our sessions, I explored the boundaries I had in making my own artwork and committing to my arts practice. As the sessions progressed, my confidence grew in my abilities and myself. I’m so proud of what I’ve created and the step I took to show my work in galleries.”

“Ellen’s non-intrusive approach was a huge help in steering my thinking around work and choices. I came away with much clearer objectives and a new confidence in what I’d like to aim for.”

“Ellen helped me push my practice into a direction I’m proud of. I felt truly supported, and I’m grateful for her experience and expertise.”

“Working with Ellen was transformational. I’ve learned so much and have grown as an artist. The process was challenging, exciting, and has given me a new perspective on my practice.”

“After our first meeting, Ellen really understood what I was trying to do and where I wanted to go. Sessions helped me develop a more holistic view of my practice and I’ve developed a much more rewarding creative process.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Who is this programme for?

This programme is designed for artists, writers and other creative professionals who are working on a creative project and want structure, clarity, and support to move it forward. It will benefit anyone feeling stuck, looking to gain momentum, or wanting to deepen their practice through a holistic, mindful approach.

What is the format of the programme?

The programme consists of 6 weekly online group coaching workshops, each lasting 2 hours. During these sessions, we will explore creative challenges, clarify goals, and share insights through group coaching exercises and individual self-expression. You’ll also participate in gentle mindful movement, meditation, and self-reflection exercises to help you stay grounded and connected to your creative process.

What’s the difference between the Group Coaching and the 1:1 upgrade option?

The Group Coaching option includes six 2-hour workshops with a small cohort of creatives, where we work collectively and individually to address challenges and share insights.

The 1:1 Coaching Package includes the same group workshops, plus two 50-minute individual coaching sessions with Ellen at a time that suits you. These private sessions give you the chance to dive deeper into your specific project or creative process, receiving more tailored support, as well as time and space to unpack your project further.

What does ‘mindful movement’ mean?

Each 2-hour workshop begins with around 15 minutes of movement involving breathing exercises, gentle stretches and easy movements and self-massage. The aim is to get you out of your head and feeling good in your body, so that you can focus and reconnect with your creative project. You don’t need any special equipment, just wear comfortable clothes you can move in.

What if I’m new to mindfulness or meditation?

You don’t need prior experience with mindfulness or meditation to join. The techniques I use are gentle and accessible to people of all physical abilities, and I guide you through each practice so you feel comfortable and supported. Mindfulness and movement are tools to help you stay grounded and focused on your project, but if you prefer to opt out of these parts of the workshops, you can use the time to write, draw or rest.

What if I can’t make a session?

To preserve the privacy and intimacy of the group, our meetings are not recorded, so I recommend ensuring that you can attend the six workshops to get the full experience and participate in the group dynamics.

I’m not sure if this is the right time for me to join. How do I know if it’s a good fit?

If you’re feeling uninspired or facing creative challenges, this programme could be helpful. Creative Expansion is about moving forward with intention, overcoming obstacles, and accessing your creative potential. If you’re committed to your project and open to group learning and personal growth, this programme will provide the support you need.

Do I need to have a clear project to join?

The programme is designed to meet you where you are and to support you at any stage of your project. Whether you’re just starting, refining, or ready to take your project to the next level, the coaching, group support, and mindfulness practices will help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

How do I know if I’ll get personal attention in a group setting?

The group is kept small (max. 6 participants) to ensure that you receive personalized feedback and attention. While you’ll benefit from the collective wisdom of the group, I make sure to address each individual’s needs and challenges during each workshop.

What’s the commitment?

The programme runs for 6 weeks, with one 2-hour workshop each week. You’ll also be encouraged to engage in self-reflection, meditation, and mindful movement in between meetings. While the programme is structured, it’s also flexible to accommodate your personal creative journey.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes, you can choose to pay the total amount upfront or split the payment into two instalments. The first instalment will be due on booking, and the second will be due halfway through the programme.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Due to the small group size and the nature of the programme, I am unable to offer refunds for cancellation. However, if you have opted for the Group + 1:1 coaching package and need to reschedule an individual coaching session, I will do my best to accommodate. If you’re unable to continue the programme, please let me know, and we can discuss potential options.

What if I’m not sure this is right for me after I sign up?

If after the first workshop you feel that the programme isn’t right for you, please contact me within 7 days. We can discuss your experience, and if needed, you can receive a partial refund for the remaining sessions. I want you to feel fully supported and confident in your decision.
