Creative Coaching

Integrative psychotherapy and creative coaching for people in creative and performance-based fields, including film, television, theatre and media.

What I Offer

Creative work can be deeply satisfying, but it can also feel exposing, uncertain and difficult to sustain.

I work with actors, writers, directors, producers and others whose work depends on originality, performance and staying effective in demanding settings, offering a space to think clearly about your work.

We focus on practical ways to manage pressure, identify what supports your resilience and build practical tools for a more sustainable creative life.

Stephanie Bell
Psychotherapist & Creative Coach

  • Creative coaching helps you develop ideas, move work forward and manage the internal and external pressures that can disrupt that process.

    It’s about helping you find your own direction, with structure, reflection and accountability.

    We might focus on:

    • perfectionism, self-doubt or procrastination

    • feeling stuck or disconnected from your work

    • confidence in sharing your work or putting yourself forward

    • feedback, rejection or transitions between projects

  • My approach combines integrative psychotherapy and coaching. I work in an active, engaged way, drawing on psychodynamic ideas to understand how past experiences and learnt ways of responding may still be influencing the present, and CBT-informed tools to support practical change.

    That means paying attention both to what what is happening now and the patterns that may be shaping your responses, while keeping a clear focus on where you want to get to.

    We will look at:

    • what is already working

    • what feels difficult or stuck

    • what you are aiming for.

  • Creative coaching can be helpful if:

    • you work in a creative field and want support with its particular pressures

    • you feel blocked, stuck or unsure how to move forward

    • you are navigating a transition or change in direction

    • you want a more structured and consistent way of working

    • you don’t see yourself as a creatuve professional but want support with a creative project or want to reconnect with a more creative way of living.

  • Sessions take place online or in-person in London (Waterloo) or near Stroud, Gloucestershire.

    I offer an initial 15-minute video consultation at no charge to see if working together feels like a good fit.
