What we do

A Creative Block is a coaching and consulting practice for people and teams whose meaningful work has stopped moving. We look at the person, the project and the conditions shaping both, then help make sense of what is getting in the way and find a practical way forward.

The working map

Eight ways creative work gets stuck.

Seven domains where creative work gets stuck, plus one look-alike that isn't a block at all.

Let's unlock what's stuck.

Bring the work that matters. We’ll help you understand what is keeping it stuck and choose a useful next move.

Questions

The things people ask first.

Coaching and creative consulting—not therapy. We work on the block and the project in front of you. If something sits deeper than our remit, we will say so and help you find the right support.

No. If you make things—work, research, a business, a body of writing—and you are stuck on something that matters, this is for you. You do not need to call yourself an artist.

We find the most likely mechanism behind the stuckness, read the terrain around it, and match a response—coaching, consulting, learning or recovery. You leave with a clear read and a sensible first move.

Yes. For organisations we offer team workshops, multi-week Creative Resets, ongoing advisory, and talks or speaking sessions—working on live projects, briefs, feedback, roles, decisions and pace.

We work with both the person and the project. Coaching stays client-led: questions and reflection help you find your own answers. With your agreement, consulting lets us think alongside you more directly through ideas, opinions, feedback and practical suggestions. We do not claim specialist expertise in every creative discipline; when the work needs that, we say so.
