Self-Belief
for Writers Who Aren’t Writing
Self-Belief Coaching for Writers who Aren’t Writing
As a book coach, I get to see the magic happen.
When the writer starts to use their craft with boldness and confidence, putting down words with increasing ease so that writing starts to feel FUN.
…and when the writer is having fun, the reader is too.
But when Flow and Fun elude us as writers, when we get in our own way, when our fears drown out our dreams…it’s time to get CREATIVE. It’s time to play Miss Marple or Yoda with our own psyche.
That's what we’ll do with Self-belief Coaching for Writers.
We will look for clues in your backstory, investigating your creative wounds and the surprising details of your life history that subconsciously steer you away from the page and make writing feel like wading through treacle.
We will imaginatively personify the parts of ourselves that are afraid and resistant and interview them as witnesses.
They may be quite delightful or utterly villainous.
Meeting them will feel imaginative, intimate, and moving. And it will also help you reassure them that you’ve got this and notice when they’re crying out for your attention.
We will also meet a crew of inner allies; the more resilient, wiser parts of yourself that will help you overcome the obstacles in your way.
You’ll become familiar with these characters, just as you would the characters in your novel. You’ll start to know it’s them speaking when you tell yourself you’re not good enough, you’re wasting your time, or, conversely, that this is what you want, and you deserve to hold space for it.
And you'll feel lighter, more like yourself, less cautious as a writer, more certain, BRAVER.
You’ll find the Fun and the Flow. You’ll be writing!
Self-belief coaching will help you:
✔ WRITE MORE, by overcoming perfectionism and procrastination, paralysis, passivity, proving yourself and people-pleasing.
✔ Dream big and take small steps towards your goals.
✔ Tune into your self-trust and creative process to unleash your voice.
✔ Handle judgment and criticism even if it’s coming from inside your head.
✔ Write from vision and desire, rather than from ‘shoulds’ and ‘can’ts.’

You can seamlessly transition into Messy Middle book coaching if you begin to want guidance around a particular project. If at any point you would like me to read and give feedback on your work, you can purchase add-ons. I'd love to join you in the fictional world you're creating; being there to brainstorm, untangle and talk it through, as well as helping you commit words to the page.

We will agree to a regular appointment when you sign up or after the first call.
I prefer to hold calls between 8:45 a.m. and 14:45 p.m. (UK time), though I very often can work around this if that isn't possible for you.
Ideally, you will choose a slot that suits you, and that will be reserved for you for the entire coaching programme.

We will meet on zoom unless you can come to my kitchen table in Worcestershire, UK (where you are most welcome!).
