• Frustrated Creatives go all in and become solvent in their craft.

• Established Creatives level up their growth and impact, and live with financial abundance.

• Successful Creatives rediscover authenticity when they’ve lost their way.

• Creative Entrepreneurs transcend mere corporate metrics to produce meaningful work.

• "Pre-atives" (a.k.a. "Creatives in Waiting") intentionally leverage their lucrative ‘shadow careers’ to fund future time and space for creativity—through long service leave, sabbaticals, or early retirement, or going part time and being better off for it.

• Everyday People reconnect with the creative spark they abandoned—and deeply miss.

“The artist’s task is to save the soul of mankind; and anything less is a dithering while Rome burns. Because of the artists, who are self-selected, for being able to journey into the Other, if the artists cannot find the way, then the way cannot be found”.

Terrence McKenna

The First Appointment: Why I Say Odd Things

I often say odd things to clients at the very first appointment. Why?
Because I genuinely believe them. It’s not pretentious to see artists as central to societal recovery—unless you’re pretending. I’m not pretending.

The World Is Starving for Your Art

We are drowning in entertainment but starving for art—your art. Terence McKenna’s words feel more urgent than ever. We lack a transcendent dimension in our lives, and en masse it’s a catastrophe. Whether the crisis is climate change, mental health, or geopolitics, at the heart of it lies a worldview stripped of depth, disconnected from the soul.

I believe suppressed artists feel this left-brain coup more than most. The fresh nonsense at the corporate job, the proliferation of inane jingles even to screens while we fill up at the petrol pump, everywhere we look—all painful noise, very little soulful signal. Art is the tonic which can break this spell and bring us quite literally back to our senses before we drive the car off the cliff.

The Hole No External Fix Can Fill

As an experienced psychotherapist who has worked across continents with every conceivable type of person—from high-net-worth captains of industry to some of the world’s most marginalised—I’ve seen this void firsthand.

Even when people do all the “right” things—meditate, exercise, take their meds—there’s often still something missing. A hole no external fix can fill.

Creativity Is Essential, Not Optional

The answer lies within. People disconnected from their creative, transcendent selves are consumed by doing rather than being. This disconnection is driving us towards disaster. Art—your unique expression—is a summons from your soul.

Let me be clear: I’m not saying everyone must create work that garners widespread admiration. This isn’t about reaching millions or even hundreds. Creativity may be evenly distributed, but talent certainly isn’t. What matters is realising the profound influence your creative work has within your sphere of impact.

The Transformative Power of Creation

Take parenthood as an example: regardless of your Instagram following, you are no “micro-influencer” in the lives of your children. Your creative process—whether it’s journaling, music, or painting—doesn’t need to impress anyone but you.

Creating and sharing your work is both pragmatic and transformative. It’s not just about catharsis; it’s about vitality. Even if your creative output feels more like David Brent than David Bowie, the act of creation itself is what matters.

Resistance Is the Barrier to Your Art

Resistance often masquerades as fear, guilt, or self-doubt. Am I being foolish? Selfish? If you’ve felt that persistent call to create, you already know the answer. Creativity isn’t optional; it’s essential.

Working With Me

You don’t know me yet, but here’s the deal: working with me means stepping into the arena. There’s glory and horror, but it’s real. I’ll help you uncover your best creative work—not what others expect, but what’s uniquely yours. Together, we’ll dismantle the myth that artists are indulgent or lazy. You’re none of those things. You’re needed.

My Journey: Learning From My Own Pitfalls

I’ve always been an artist, but I grew up in a place where creativity wasn’t seen as a viable path. By six, trauma derailed my artistic journey. Extreme violence, plus the chaos of the Troubles in Ireland compounded it, alongside undiagnosed ADHD and a brain lesion.

The gap between who we pretend to be and who we are reveals itself as pain, frustration, or worse. It has taken me a long time to get back to myself in any real sense, and you can learn from my fuck-ups and pitfalls.

Why Me?

I don’t claim to be a best-selling author or an artistic genius. My qualifications are in helping others clear their barriers, uncover their potential, and align with their true creative purpose.

Decades of experience in psychotherapy have shown me that creativity often holds the key to what lies beyond mental health treatment. My work is about helping you channel resistance into creation, finding clarity, and stepping into your creative potential.

Take the Next Step

If you’ve read this far, you’re ready. Take the next step and book a clarity call with me. It’s an honest conversation about how creativity can transform your life.

Say it aloud: I am an artist.
Your art—and the world—can’t wait
