Life coaching to assist closet creatives who are all about spreading joy, to re-emerge offered online and in Stroud at the edge of the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, UK.

What’s your story?

Do you have a creative mind and talents, but don’t show this part of yourself to others or don’t even act on your creativity because of factors like fear of judgement, self limiting beliefs, procrastination or perfectionism? So instead you put it off and stay undercover as a ‘shadow artist’ (Cameron, J, The Artists Way), a closet creative, but know inside there is more you could be and do? What if you could change this?

Did you once have a dream of doing something creative as a career and making people happy, but crushed your own dreams because it didn’t feel ok doing a creative career and maybe got a ‘secure’ job instead?

Do you wish you had a career which just feels more fun, maybe freelance or self employed and much more like the real ‘you’ and are starting to consider ways to do so, but it’s scary and unclear how you proceed.

Do you have a sense of being ‘called’ to share your gifts and be a ray of sunshine? Maybe it’s reaching a stage where you have a sense of running out of time as you get older, or that if you carry on as you are you’ll get ill? Maybe you already feel like you are burning out?

Do you sometimes feel that being a grown up is grey and full of ‘adulting’ - workload, stresses, chores, overly serious and stuck in a rhythm you are aching to change?

Do you have a strong desire to find your life’s purpose, have secret dreams of doing something creative and joyful, that’s more enjoyable and aligned to who you are?

Maybe you are a multipotentialite (multi-passionate), with a feeling of too many choices and passions, so don’t know which way to proceed. Or simply feeling indecisive and confused about your way forward and don’t know what’s stopping you?

Are you getting impatient to finally dare show your true self or dream big?

Have you been a ‘people pleaser’ and/or struggled with ‘imposter syndrome’? So you get anxious and worry a lot about your abilities, how to find the confidence and the way forward?

Could you playfully describe yourself as a scaredy cat, a cowardly custard or a shrinking violet when you don’t step forward to go for what you want? Or do you procrastinate and don’t get around to changing things? Hello friend……it’s OK, join the club!

Would you really love to have the clarity, conviction, gumption, the hutzspa and the audacity to finally go for it?

So maybe it’s time to try some Rechilding for Grown Ups as a way to unleash your talents? Click on the word for details.

Anna offers learning & life coaching opportunities to get on track.

1:1 Life Coaching & Mentoring

First we work together to help you to re-focus on who you are as an individual and go in the direction of what you really want.

The aim is to become clear and courageous enough, so you can finally start to show up in the world as your authentic, unique & fabulous self, whilst starting to use your natural gifts and talents.

Then we use Anna’s ‘Ready, Steady, Go’ approach to start trying things out. To stretch your comfort zone and get the feedback you need to continue. Then we review and continue.

Group Life Coaching & Mentoring:

Gain the Courage to step forwards as a Creative and follow your calling.

So are you looking for more direction and clarity towards your journey into Becoming a Creative but feeling stuck, then read on….

• Do you dream of a life where you are more yourself, doing what you love, being creative using your talents and somehow helping others feel happy?

• Up to now, either other people’s opinions or some of your own perceptions, self limiting beliefs and fear have stopped you from doing what you love?

• Somehow you know it’s the time to change that but you’re not sure how to proceed?

• Did you feel like you needed to choose security and safety instead of working creatively?

  Anna’s life coaching work rather than fixing the ‘problem’, is all about focussing on what you love and cultivating positive emotions as a catalyst for change.

  The Courage to be a Creative Workshops Anna has developed are to help you find clarity, focus, self direction, to regulate and be resilient through challenges along the way.

How we work together:

With lightheartedness.

Here is a chance to learn to be your own best friend, lighten up, have fun and compassionately laugh at your own foibles.

The essential special ingredient in my blend of work is for you to have fun, laugh and find your playful side again.

This is so you can get firmly back in touch with the wisest, most intuitive bit of yourself, who is great at helping you make important decisions: your inner kid.

It will involve us uncovering your current relationship to that part of yourself and be in the moment.

Yes, there can be some actual play and creative activities involved, if you wish!

With creativity

This is a chance for you to look at ways you can be more in touch with your creativity.

Creative living isn’t just about being arty or a writer, it’s about thinking creatively and doing what you enjoy and get inspired by.

We use my background in the arts and occupational therapy to help bring out that individuality and creativity in you.

‘It’s worse to spend your life on the outside looking in, wondering what if, than it is to try and dare greatly and risk the chance of failure. DARE GREATLY; get in the arena and try.’ Dr. Brene Brown

Learning by experience.

Taking the time to try things out.

Getting to know yourself on a whole new level.

We are all unique and amazing…. It’s time to show the world!
