Psychology-informed personal coaching for people working in creative industries, creating space to explore the internal and interpersonal experiences that often sit behind the work.
About
I've always been fascinated by human behaviour — what drives us, what holds us back, and why we sometimes find ourselves repeating patterns that no longer serve us.
That curiosity first led me to study Clinical Psychology and gain experience within mental health. I later moved into PR, giving me experience across two very different environments that have shaped the way I understand people, behaviour, and the experiences we navigate in our personal and professional lives.
Working within creative industries also made me increasingly interested in what happens behind the work - the experiences, pressures and dynamics that aren't always visible from the outside. Bringing these two worlds together became the foundation of Candid Coaching.
My role as a coach isn't to tell you what to do. It's to create a calm and non-judgemental space to explore what's happening more deeply — asking questions, reflecting what I notice, and exploring the beliefs, perspectives and patterns that may be shaping how you see yourself, your situation and the people around you.
My approach is informed by my MSc in Clinical Psychology, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Core Energy Coaching through iPEC, while leaving space for each person's individual experience.
At the heart of Candid is a simple belief: greater understanding creates greater choice.
what we might explore
What brings someone to coaching is always personal. These are some of the themes that can emerge when navigating life and work within creative industries. They aren't fixed categories, but starting points for the conversations we might explore together.
Exploring the relationship between who you are, what you do, and how you show up in the world.
Understanding the role external recognition, feedback and other people's perceptions can play in how you see yourself and the choices you make.
Exploring how comparison, competition and the visibility of other people's lives and success can shape your own sense of progress and direction.
Making space for the expectations, demands and uncertainty that can come with environments where creativity, performance and visibility often matter.
Exploring how collaboration, blurred boundaries and differing expectations can shape the relationships around you, the way you communicate and how you relate to others.
Coaching
Coaching creates space to explore what's happening more deeply; what may be shaping your experience, the perspectives and patterns influencing it, and how you want to move forward. As the work develops, there is space for new questions, insights and areas of exploration to emerge along the way.
A focused period of coaching around what is most present for you right now. Whether you're navigating a particular situation, question or area of your life, three months offers consistent space to explore it more deeply, understand what may be shaping your experience, and consider how you want to move forward.

More time to recognise and explore the patterns shaping your experience.

Longer-term space to turn greater awareness into meaningful change. Nine months creates continuity to build on the awareness developed through coaching, explore how new perspectives and choices translate into everyday life, and continue working with patterns, challenges and changes as they arise.
