Stepping into the business world can feel daunting. The moment you begin thinking about turning your craft into a start-up — whether for income, impact, or simply to give your talent the chance in that realm — every doubt can rise to the surface. It can feel as though there’s no model, support in where to begin and no one to confide in.
Having a confidential, informed space to explore your ideas is invaluable — somewhere you can unpick the pressure, expand your thinking, and reconnect with the purpose of your work to achieve in your start-up.I can support creative practice and also help you develop what it takes to translate your ideas into a viable, meaningful venture. I help new business founders cut through the noise, focus their ideas, build habits that support momentum, and move past the fear that often shadows early-stage creativity. With a blend of insight, support, and sector understanding, I work with you to shape a start-up path that feels authentic, sustainable, and in line with your art. When you’re building for income you deserve a space that backs your ambition and supports your next steps.

“When I began coaching, I was feeling overwhelmed and unsure about my direction. Jess provided a calm, reflective space and made the whole process feel supportive and insightful, exploring beneath the surface with a warm and non-judgemental space. Jess’s style meant I saw things from new angles, brought the creative energy back into my professional life. She allowed me to see ways to meaningfully integrate my creativity into my life. I ended coaching feeling more grounded and clearer about what I want in my work and more connected to my creative side. I rediscovered a sense of excitement about my work and my future as a new coach, which had been missing for a while. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
