I coach creative people to feel great and do the work that matters.
The work on ourselves. And the work in the world.
A free 30-minute call to see if you’re a fit.
Who this is for
Creative people.
Anyone working with ideas and innovation for a living.
Creative professionals
Crafting comms and content in advertising, branding, design, film, television, music, games, publishing, fashion, and architecture.
Creative entrepreneurs
Building products and services in startups and scale-ups, where invention and ideas are key.
What it is
A lightly held inquiry into your life.
An online conversation with Tom every two weeks, to look at what’s going on in your work, your relationships, your body, your head. A nutritious bit of self-care and time for you.
Inquiry
Curious questions, so you can see where you’ve been giving your attention, what you’ve been quietly neglecting, what’s flourishing, and what needs nurturing.
Accountability
You decide what you want to do, and we come back to it every session.
Reflection
Space to sit with what you notice, make some commitments, or simply let it be. Over time, we might see some hidden patterns emerge.
Coaching is not for you to optimise or fix yourself, but to simply appreciate your life, grow, and build the capability to do the work that matters. That starts with the work on yourself and finding your purpose. Then it’s the work in the world, work that makes a real impact for your community, society, culture, and the planet.
To give the inquiry a shape, I created the 9 Dimensions of Health, a way of looking at the components of a rich, abundant, fulfilling existence.
9 Dimensions of Health
Physical
Vitality, energy, and the strength to live a full life. The foundation on which everything else builds.
Mental
Clarity of thought, emotional regulation, and quality of attention. A mind that works for us rather than against us.
Creative
Expressive acts of making and practising a craft. Balancing the pursuit of mastery with being in service to others.
Adventure
Novelty, exploration, and experiences that stretch us beyond the familiar. Aliveness that keeps life from becoming narrow or inert.
Time
Sovereignty over our schedule, pace, and attention. Space to think, rest, and live without constant urgency.
Financial
Money, assets, and economic security that create choice and freedom. The value we add to the world, and what flows back.
Family
Presence, trust, and care with the people who matter most. Being in right relationship with our loved ones. Honouring our ancestors.
Social
Friendship, community, and a sense of belonging beyond family. Cultivating connection that nourishes, challenges, and shapes us.
Spiritual
Seeking meaning, celebrating mystery, and having faith in something beyond the material world. Finding peace in our cosmic insignificance.
How it works
Coaching runs in seasons of three months with an online session for an hour every two weeks.
In each session
We start with your whole life across the 9 Dimensions, then you choose where to focus - a stuck project, a career decision, how you’re spending your time.
Between sessions
You keep the inquiry going in your 9Journal. Score each dimension out of ten, note what’s been positive and what’s been negative, then write any learnings or commitments to bring to our next session.
At the end of the season
We look back and notice what you most enjoyed about your life and what you’re taking with you.

I only work with a handful of people at a time, so everyone gets my full attention. I’m choosy about who I work with, so book a call and we’ll see if it’s a fit for both of us.

About Tom
I’m a creative director, coach, and entrepreneur, with 30 years’ leadership experience in the creative industries.
I co-founded one of the UK’s early digital agencies and took it through acquisition by a global advertising network, becoming Executive Creative Director of its London office. I went on to be board-level Brand Communications Director at a British high street fashion retailer, then Executive Creative Director at the London office of a second global network, and founded an award-winning connected hardware startup along the way.
As a creative director I led work for brands including Nike, Heineken, Volvo, and Four Seasons. Now I coach creative and design leaders, and I’ve trained more than 1,200 people at organisations including Nike, Apple, PlayStation, Xbox, the BBC, and Jaguar Land Rover.
