For those looking for release, clarity, and evolution; it is where we establish your path. You may be looking for practical advice (e.g. visual brand, revenue streams, communications, defining purpose), or the less tangible (but often more important) psychological aspects that are holding you back (fear of rejection, loss of creativity, a feeling of failure, overwhelm, burn out, and stagnancy). This is for those with and without businesses alike.
• In-depth questionnaire upon booking
• A recording of the session (with your consent)
• Physical journal, designed in studio, for you to continue your exploration and strengthen your understanding. Annotated to include your key thoughts, connections, and action points.
As a guide, clients typically book 1-4 sessions per year; finding this the optimum support for real change, focus, and fulfilment. If you’d like to find out how this may work for you, please book a free Q&A call.
Please note, whilst I utilise counselling methodology and practice within sessions, the consultancy offered is not the same as therapeutic counselling.
Client testimonials
“Her advice, time and guidance has been so valuable to me and has helped me double my income (if not more). I would describe it as creative therapy but importantly the goals she sets me are personal AND achievable. Elaine cares about me and my business and I couldn’t ask for someone better in my life to help when I’m just a solo creative trying to figure out what on earth I’m meant to be doing.”
“You gave me the confidence to do things I've only dreamed of pursuing.”
“Talking with Elaine has greatly helped my clarity regarding the direction of my brand; Elaine's thoughtful and gently structured questioning process provides much-needed space to think both inside and outside the box. I have felt immensely inspired since my Comprehensive session with Elaine, have started taking actions in accordance with our discussion and already am starting to receive positive feedback; hugely grateful.”
“Elaine is the perfect combination of being motivational and compassionate.”
“I valued your deep perceptive insight to my creative practice and the practical, eloquent solutions that were reached with your guidance. You were truly supportive and the creative consultancy session was an absolute joy from start to finish.”
“Feedback was insightful, practical and gave me a framework for progressing my ideas, creative practice and business in a way that would be right and achievable for me.”
“It’s not exaggerating to say that the session with Elaine was life-changing. Taking time out of my busy work life to do something that seems self indulgent is something I struggle with... this was the best thing I’ve done all year. Elaine broke down my goals, outlined my purpose and gave me some concise actions to help me move forward. I arrived feeling stuck, stressed, tired and flat. When I left I was so excited about my business and its future and felt a refreshed energy and love for it. Being self employed is an emotional rollercoaster, but the session helped me to feel grounded and in control. I’ll be back for the next stage in my business and personal life.”
“A holistic and insightful review of creative practice that helped me to clarify direction and the steps I needed to take in order to progress my ideas in a way that would be right for me.”
“I went in [to the consultancy session] quite nervous as I wasn’t sure what I wanted to talk about, but within a few minutes Elaine said to me “yes but you’re an artist” and it’s honestly changed the way I look at myself as a creative. We spoke for an hour about the work that I’d done over the years – children’s books, ceramics, illustration and how I saw them as failures which made me nervous about pursuing painting, but Elaine explained how they were actually creative outlets that I’d explored as an artist, not failures and I shouldn’t have to limit myself to one thing. I went home and wrote “YOU ARE AN ARTIST” above my desk and I say it to myself daily.”
“You’re able to pin point exactly what I need to focus on and help me see past all the bits that I've jumbled up in my brain.”
“[Experiencing] a creative consultancy session with Studio 1850 was so affirming and revitalising. Elaine made me feel comfortable and safe talking to her, like nothing I said was silly or invalid. Her advice really resonated with me and has left me SO excited to get started on the leaps within my business that I’ve been wanting to take for a while, but have been avoiding or putting off because of fear. If you’re looking for the next step in your business, if your experiencing mental blocks with your creative work, or even if you just want someone to chat through your ideas with who can offer considered, thoughtful advice, I honestly could not recommend working with Elaine enough.”
“My 1 hour strategy session with Elaine has been the best investment in time I’ve made in years! I came away from our chat feeling more energised and excited about my business than I have done in a long time. Elaine has so much experience and knowledge and knew exactly what I needed to do to move my business forward. Her guidance was in-depth, insightful and strategic but she gave it to me in an easy to understand and clear way. Elaine broke down each part of my strategy so that it hasn’t been over-whelming since our session. I’m so grateful for the wisdom she’s imparted on me and can’t wait to work her again.”
