Support to Thrive – 3 Months Creative Business Mentoring
I sought some mentoring help from Fiona at a point when I was feeling really overwhelmed and unclear in my business. I’m so glad I found her when I did!
During our Strategy Session Fiona quickly helped me to knit together my rambling thoughts and ideas into an authentic and coherent message and to identify the direction I wanted to go in. She also helped me realise some options for framing my service offerings that I hadn’t fully considered before, which was really motivating. Fiona also gave me the confidence to tune into my own voice and to do things my own way.
Her encouraging, insightful and straight forward approach has helped me to feel so much clearer and more inspired about what I’m doing and where I’m headed in my business.
I would heartily recommend Fiona to anyone seeking clarity, support and confidence in articulating their ideas and moving their business forward. She is warm and encouraging and a light in the dark when you need it most.
Thank you Fiona, for your wonderful guidance and wisdom!

“Working with Fiona really helped me move forward. After a long period of working alone on my business, I really felt like I needed to share my ideas to get them to the next level. I’d been following Fiona for a while and felt like she was just the right person for this, both in terms of her values and the skills she could bring to the table. For a day we worked together as colleagues and it felt so good! Her honest, constructive feedback, genuine interest, heartfelt hospitality and flawless ability to put things in the right words made all the difference and I feel empowered and encouraged to take the next steps.”

Gain Momentum – One-On-One Day
“I was looking for someone to help me with updating my branding and copy after deciding to take my business in a slightly different direction. I was struggling to articulate the direction I wanted to go in, so was looking for clarity around that. I researched a few businesses that had a background in copywriting and what appealed to me was the offer of a month’s support rather than a one-off session. I knew I definitely didn’t want to sign up for a whole, long package but wasn’t sure if one session would be enough. Your offer provided me exactly what I was looking for, at a price I was willing to pay!
I’m confident Fiona could help you with clarity and support in your business. She’s warm and really easy to talk to, and definitely helps you think things through more clearly. She’s also inspiring in a gentle way, not too pushy.”

Clear The Fog – One Month Mentoring
“Every once in a while, I happen upon someone on the internet who stands out because of their authenticity and realness. In a world of assertive influencers, it’s refreshing to find people who are honest and approachable. Fiona initially captured my attention by what she expressed through the screen, from her heartfelt writing to her thought-provoking podcast, There Are Other Ways. What I uncovered was a gifted storyteller who genuinely cares about helping creatives discover the words to tell their own stories.
I reached out to Fiona, halfway across the world, without a proper introduction or recommendation. My intuition led me to that decision and it was the best choice I’ve made in ages. She was the missing link I needed to make my website a reality and I give her so much credit for the launch of The House of Less. From the minute I started working with her, she made me feel at ease and comfortable. It never felt like an impersonal, business relationship, but rather a friendly dialogue between two peers. She has that rare ability to encourage you to open your mind and seek what it is you’re trying to put out there in the world. She instinctively asks the right questions and most importantly, listens carefully to your responses. Somehow, she magically puts it all together to create exactly what has been on your heart and mind but has felt impossible to put into words. The window she helped me open has allowed an abundance of creativity to unleash itself in my life and in my writing.
Thank you Fiona, for all you’ve done to bring my story to life. Your expertise and encouragement mean more to me than you can imagine!”

“I really love how supportive and engaged you are, and that you respond fast and in a very full fashion. Your help on my website was fab, and also I’m increasing in confidence as I see I can do this – you’ve helped with that too.
“You have helped steer me in the direction I was most afraid of, the one I didn’t feel worthy of, but the one that lights me up. You have helped me think about the bigger picture rather than focusing on the negative, I am now driven by inspiration thanks to you!
I feel much clearer about where I’m headed and why.”

“I’ve never done any form of coaching/mentoring, as I consider myself a fairly organised, motivated person, but I figured I’d give it a go. I’m so glad I did! Fiona immediately got to the core of my ‘unsolvable’ issues and suggested ways to work through them which took account of the reality of my busy single parent life. Also, I couldn’t believe how much we achieved in a one hour call – within 60 minutes I had a clear action plan for the next few weeks and had prioritised my horrifying to do list in a way which felt right for me. I’m so pleased I took the leap, and I can’t wait for another session with Fiona when I’ve worked through what we discussed in the call.”
“I called in Fiona to help me during the pre-launch of my business after a friend of mine recommended her. I had reached a bit of a brick wall with things and I was feeling very overwhelmed with a huge to do list, not knowing what I should be doing first. Fiona was invaluable to the set up of my business. She helped me to organise what needed doing and look at what I needed to focus my attention on as a priority. From my business loan application, setting up my website to helping with brand clarity, nothing was too much. She has a wonderful way of wording things and was able to get down on paper everything I wanted to say but didn’t know how to.
I would without hesitation recommend Fiona to anyone seeking that brand clarity or anyone who is just feeling a little lost like I was. She is very personable, non judgemental and very talented at what she does.”

“I couldn’t be happier with my mentoring with Fiona! We did a 30-minute strategy session together and she helped me gain so much clarity in such a short space of time. She really listened to me and asked me all the right questions. It really felt like chatting to an old friend over a coffee, and she was so warm, generous and perceptive. I left the call feeling really inspired and clear on how to move forward. I would highly recommend Fiona to other creative businesses!”
“I took up Fiona’s generous offer of a free short coaching session in exchange for helping her with some research questions and I’m so glad I did! Getting Fiona’s opinion and feedback was so valuable and she shared some wonderful insights. It’s clear that she’s passionate about supporting business owners and she really cares about helping you so she gave me lots of suggestions and encouragement. Our conversation really got me thinking and spurred me on.”
