BEING A CREATIVE IS TOUGH.

It’s been over three years since I began coaching entirely by accident! A painter who had questions about the art market, showing up online, and pitching for his first exhibition slid into my DM’s and asked if he could have a few hours of my time. Three years later and he’s exhibiting internationally...

Since then, I have had the privilege of coaching painters, fashion designers, illustrators, digital creators, influencers, other visual artists, and small business owners, helping them navigate the creative landscape—both professionally and personally.

My coaching approach is deeply personalised, helping individuals and teams integrate art and creativity sustainably into their lives for increased joy. With a CPD-accredited diploma, a BA in Fine Art, and an insatiable curiosity for continuous learning, working with me means you’ll get more than just our sessions. I’ve been know to compile tailored reading lists, summarise the latest research and data to apply directly to your situation, and be readily available day-to-day as your sounding board, creative champion, critical friend, and advocate. I’m here to support you and your practice with dedication, insight, and a healthy dose of obsession.

If you need to know one thing about me? I love problem solving. So bring it on!

TESTIMONIALS

  • “Phoebes' advice was wonderful, it gave me a new understanding of my social media and lots of clear, actionable items to follow. Even a few months later the conversation we had is still helping to guide my actions with my communications. I would highly recommend having a 1:1 session with any artist looking to level up their Instagram.”

  • “Phoebe is a miraculous and unusual being capable of much! She's an artist herself, and she also has the insight, knowledge and experience within other aspects of the art world that you might expect from a curator/advisor decades into their career.”

  • “I booked three one-hour sessions with Phoebe and I can say that they have completely changed my outlook on what I am capable of[able of achieving. I no longer worry about reaching out to people for fear of rejection, I have more confidence in my practice and my power as an artist. This is all down to Phoebe’s wonderful way of working, her pure energy and genuine interest in my practice and her ability to give sound advice without dictating what route you should be taking. She is wise beyond her years and if you get the chance to work with her you should absolutely jump at the chance.”

  • “Since our first meeting, I felt at ease and comfortable sharing what I needed from the sessions. We decided where to meet that worked for us both, normally a cute cafe or interesting bookshop, grabbed a coffee and had what seemed like a chat between friends, an informal conversation, except it was full of brilliant ideas, advice and amazing content I could take with me and put into action.

  • “To any artists/creatives out there I would actively encourage you to book a meeting with Phoebe, even if you think you don't need one, she will bring out of you something you didn't know you had or needed!”

  • “Phoebe always followed up with detailed emails and checked in on me between sessions, giving me little inspirational emails or encouragement to work towards my goals.”

  • “Phoebe is driven and clever and will be able to give guidance with whatever it is you need help with. Personally, I struggle with communication and I sought her help with a text-heavy application - I got the interview and also a clearer understanding of how to present myself going forward. So grateful.”

  • “All of Phoebe’s pointers and suggestions have been super helpful and I really enjoyed our meet-ups :) She was very generous with her time, I felt optimistic and encouraged after each meeting, and what we discussed plus the notes she sent after had a lot of actionable/doable stuff.”

  • "Working with Phoebe allows me the space to experiment and expand my creative process by focusing on work that challenges me while ensuring I maintain clarity from a personal and academic perspective."
