Transformative Coaching & Mentoring for Ambitious Creatives

Clarity. Momentum. The confidence to move your work — and career — forward.

With over fourteen years’ experience as a senior television and film creative, I’ve developed and produced scripted projects from concept to commission, working with leading writers, producers, and broadcasters across the UK.

Now, I bring that expertise into coaching, mentoring, and script development — supporting ambitious creatives to move forward with clarity, courage, and strategy.

Ambitious Creatives Often Know They’re Capable of More

But lack the clarity, direction, or support to fully step into their next level. You might:

• Have a project you believe in but can’t quite unlock
• Feel stuck below your potential in your career or ready for a pivot
• Know you’re capable of more but aren’t sure how to reach the next level

This is where coaching and strategic support can be transformative.

How I Work

I help writers, producers, and creatives take meaningful steps forward through a combination of transformative coaching, industry insight, and focused accountability. Clients gain:

• Clarity about what they really want
• Breakthroughs in creative and psychological blocks
• Stronger projects and ideas
• Guidance at career crossroads
• Confidence to pursue ambitious goals

The work is thoughtful, practical, and designed to create real movement — not just reflection.

I hold a Diploma in Transformative Coaching from Animas and am triple accredited by the ICF, EMCC, and AC. I am also a fully trained Firework Career Coach, so I can help you expand your vision and make that change.

Who I Work With

While much of my work is with TV, film, and creative professionals, I also coach individuals from all backgrounds seeking clarity, purpose, and forward momentum in their careers or creative lives.

Ways to Work With Me

I offer programmes to suit different stages of development:

1:1 Transformative Coaching — personalised containers to gain clarity and momentum
Mentoring Programmes & Career Accelerator — strategic support for creatives ready to move to the next level
Short TV Courses for Writers — practical, skills-focused courses to develop and strengthen your projects

Each programme provides strategic insight, accountability, and practical tools to help you move forward with confidence.

Get In Touch

If you’re ready to gain clarity, develop your ideas, and take your next step in your creative or professional life, I’d love to hear from you.

How can I help you?

I work with ambitious creatives who feel stuck below their potential, helping them gain clarity, build confidence, and make bold, strategic action to advance their careers and projects.

I offer a range of coaching and mentoring options to suit your goals, including 1:1 coaching containers, a high-level Mentoring & Career Accelerator programme, a writers’ group for ongoing creative development and peer support, and short TV script development courses for writers looking to build skills and bring their projects to life. Every programme is designed to provide guidance, accountability, and practical tools to help you step into your next level.

Writer and client Reviews

Katie is a dream to work with – warm, kind, passionate, insightful, diligent, responsive, and always brings the good vibes. A brilliant guide, support and inspiration. Her creative input to my projects has been invaluable. Katie knows the TV industry well and can shape a project to be a commercially viable whilst also remaining true to the writer’s aims and ambitions. I would recommend working with her in a heartbeat.

Emma Jane Unsworth is a BAFTA-nominated, BIFA-winning screenwriter and bestselling, award-winning novelist. 

Katie is the real-deal when it comes to development; she has such a wonderful approach to building the world and the story of a show, guiding it in a way that never feels prescriptive and always feels collaborative. Her understanding of structure and character is honestly quite unbelievable and if I could work with her on every single project I would!

Harry Trevaldwyn – Actor, Writer and Comedian. (How to Train Your Dragon, The Bubble and author of The Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King.)

Katie was absolutely invaluable in working with me to develop my original TV series. She was excellent at understanding my vision and helped me to create a world and story in a way that was inspiring, creative and fresh. She challenges, guides and helps to build in an insightful, intelligent and kind way. She was there from initial world-building all through developing with the BBC, including running writers’ rooms with me. My project would not have been the same without her. I would absolutely recommend Katie.

“Everyone needs a Katie in their life.” Working with Katie has been nothing short of transformative. She brings a rare blend of warmth, insight, and practical brilliance to every session. As someone with classic ADHD — brimming with ideas and constantly juggling projects — I often struggled with focus, organisation, and imposter syndrome. Katie met all of that with kindness, patience, and a toolkit of powerful strategies. She helped me break things down into manageable, impactful action plans that actually work. Her ability to guide without pressure and hold me gently accountable has made a huge difference. I’ve stepped outside my comfort zone, built real confidence, and started achieving things I’d only been circling around for years. What sets Katie apart is how genuinely passionate and caring she is. Every session felt like a safe, inspiring space — and I always left feeling energised and empowered. I’ve looked forward to every conversation and loved sharing the progress I’ve made, all thanks to her thoughtful support. Katie is an exceptional coach. I’m so grateful for her generous spirit and her incredible ability to help people move forward with clarity and purpose. 

Kristina Erdely CSA, Casting Director. (Oscar winning, The Brutalist and The Actor.)

Working with Katie is one of the most valuable investments I’ve ever made in my career. As a coach she has a wonderful, warm, connecting energy that empowered me to make big, transformative leaps and take risks. She skilfully bridges coach and mentor, making clear offers in a mentoring capacity but always creating space for me to make my own decisions. I felt able to take major step changes in my career, the way I showed up and saw myself because of my work with Katie that I never would have come to alone in a million years! I would unreservedly recommend working with her – and indeed have recommended her to many friends and colleagues. 

Jess Edwards – Writer/Director for Theatre, Film & TV

Working with Katie over the past months has been transformative. When we began I was in the midst of professional burnout, feeling directionless and with my confidence shaken. Our work together has helped me unpick what led me there, regain my enthusiasm and focus my approach.  I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Savannah James-Bayly – Film Producer

Working with Katie exceeded my expectations of what Career Coaching could offer me. She is personable, calm and supportive. I felt safe enough to share deeply and honestly, which felt crucial for my progress. As an artist I found the visualisation exercises particularly beneficial and I left after 6 sessions feeling satisfied that I had found the answers and resolutions I was seeking.

Ellen Rose – Artist 

I learnt so much about script development from working with Katie. Her process has influenced the way I work with writers from start to finish. Katie combines an enviable understanding of script and story with an empathetic, thoughtful approach. She is able to keep both the personal bigger picture of the project for the writer in mind, while being crystal clear on objectives, and firm about what’s needed, every step of the way.

Roxy Cook, Script Exec & Writer

Writers feedback after the 2 day Writers’ Room Intensive Workshop

“Katie’s workshop was inspiring, informative and, above all, useful. The writers’ room approach made my current writing project better and richer in a way that no other notes have done before. I would recommend this workshop to anyone who wants to improve a writing project, learn more about writers’ rooms and take the next step in their TV writing career”.

“This workshop was invaluable in helping me turn a corner with my spec, I didn’t know where to turn next but the feedback and theory gave me the skills and knowledge I needed to elevate the storytelling and stakes of my story”.

“I had no idea how to develop my idea for a sitcom. After attending Katie’s session, my idea evolved a lot into something more concrete, substantial and engaging. Definitely recommend if you love working in collaboration with other writers”

Frequently Asked Questions

Transformative coaching is a powerful, thought-provoking process that helps you shift your mindset, break free from limiting patterns, and create meaningful change in your life. It’s about more than reaching goals — it’s about uncovering what truly fulfils you and aligning your actions with your values. The ICF (International Coaching Federation), European Mentoring & Coaching Council, and the Association for Coaching are globally recognised accreditations that ensures coaches are trained, experienced, and working to a high ethical standard. There aren’t many ICF-certified coaches with a background in the creative industries and that’s exactly what I want to bring into the space: Coaching with a creative industry lens. 

I am a member of the ICF, fully insured, have monthly 1-1 supervision and adhere to the ICF’s code of ethics and core competencies.

Therapy often focuses on healing the past. Mentoring is about guidance from someone with experience. Coaching is future-focused — it supports you in discovering your own answers, making conscious choices, and moving forward with clarity and confidence. I may offer mentoring where relevant, but coaching is led by you.

Anything that matters to you. Common themes include:
– Career direction or transitions
– Creative blocks or burnout
– Confidence and self-belief
– Life balance and decision-making
– Building habits or pursuing a big goal

Each session is a confidential space for deep reflection, challenge, and discovery. I’ll ask powerful questions, offer tools and insights, and support you in setting meaningful actions. You lead the agenda — I hold the space and guide the process.

That depends on your goals. Some clients have a breakthrough in a few sessions; others choose to work together over several months. We can discuss the right rhythm and package for you during a free introductory call.

Not at all. Many clients come to coaching feeling stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed. Coaching helps you get clear on what you want, why it matters, and how to move toward it with intention. I also work with corporate teams and couples.

Yes. Everything you share in a session is 100% confidential. This is a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore, reflect, and grow.

Start with a free discovery call. It’s a chance to ask questions, explore what you’re looking for, and see if we’re a good fit. From there, we can build a coaching, mentoring or script development plan that works for you.

  • I can offer Life Coaching online or in person in Manchester
  • Script Development & Mentoring – in person in London & Manchester and online.

While I am training you will get a discounted fee for Life Coaching packages. Once we have had a discovery call, and you think we are the right fit, we can discuss a fee structure.

Mentoring and Script development/creative consultancy is subject to writer, project and session plan.
