“After several years of struggling with lack of direction and low confidence in my artistic practice, I needed help to re-engage and re-energise. Dean’s gentle questioning, patience and creative insight soon shifted my thought process, and convinced me to be open to an alternative narrative. Dean helped me make connections to positive creativity in other areas of my life which I'd never have made on my own, and after three sessions I once more felt confident enough to trust in my abilities and begin making art again.”

“I can’t thank Dean enough for helping me to start painting again. I hadn’t painted for over three years but after a few coaching sessions with Dean I found a new confidence to start again. I had no idea what made me stop in the first place but found Dean’s questions really made me think deeply about why I stopped and how I could move forward. I still check in with Dean once in a while when I need to get clarity”

“I had no idea how I would benefit from coaching to start with but I know I was struggling with making the change I needed, trying to balance my acting and teaching career and my own wellbeing. Having the time and space to really think with Dean helped me think about my values, priorities and goals. After 6 sessions I had a greater understanding of myself, needs and desires and have a clear action plan to move forward. Working with Rock Pool was a really positive experience ”

“It has been great working with Dean and getting recalibrated with my values, goals and direction. Dean is very good at listening and asking the right questions for me to resolve and plan what is right for me and my work/life balance. I've been able to push the noise of changing and ever demanding pressures to the background and focus on what is important, to create forward motion for my career as a creative. I come away with so much clarity on what I'm doing in between sessions. As a result I'm establishing new habits which can build on old ones that I'd forgotten and lost sight of”
