people say!
I believe the actors who have the greatest chance of longevity, are those who know themselves extremely well combined with unwavering resilience.
This not only means you physically stay in the game longer, but you also create something far more unique.
I work holistically, practically, and perhaps most importantly, realistically with each individual.
I am patient, challenging, direct and inspirational and I suit creative people who like to work hard, are open and receptive to new ideas and ways of thinking, and who like to laugh a lot along the way!
Working with me
Honesty & Integrity. If you want to be a prima ballerina and you're 45 and you’ve never danced and you don’t leave your sofa very often, I’m going to present you with the facts (breaking it to you gently!). However, by the end of the session, we’ll have booked you on an adult beginners ballet class. Because, hey, I’m not always right. But I will help you see the bigger picture - clearly (and not just when it comes to ballet!)
An individual approach. I will not ask you to join Facebook groups (I’m not on it…), WhatsApp chats, or subscribe to a channel of some kind where you become a username. You will never be encouraged to ‘hop on’ a Zoom with 20 (or 100!) other participants. I know a lot of business coaches will berate me and tell me I’m mad. I simply don’t care. I know there is more value — for both you and me — in 1-2-1s (or 2-2-1s for mock castings - which are also cheaper per person!).
Humour. It’s only acting. We’re not operating on someone’s brain. There will be some very serious moments (maybe even profound moment if we’re lucky!) but a smile is just a tiny muscle movement away. And I promise you, that lightness is really necessary — not just so we feel happier in the time we spend together — but also in the doing. In the creating. In the trying out. In the practice. In the craft. In the words. In life. You’ll see :)

Yes! I used to have my coaching as an entirely separate entity under Planet Coaching. And as of 2024, I’m all under one roof. Like Toys R Us (Toys R Us, Toys R Us). If you are a previous Planet Coaching client, fill in the form above and I’ll get you back on the list!

No. I really wish I could, because that would be ACTUAL magic-magic and that would make me so cool and so rich! No-one can guarantee anyone else’s success. Ever. Fullstop. Underlined. Repeat.
-
I do not.

All sessions are 1-2-1 except mock castings which can be split with another actor
-
Both face-to-face (London or Brighton) and online are available.

I have a 24hr reschedule policy. This works both ways as I know all too well that our schedules can change pretty quickly!
All sessions are to be paid for 48hrs before the class.
I don’t offer refunds.

Nope! The majority of my clients to date have been actors and voice artists in the UK and Internationally. I have also coached small-business owners, Directors, Musicians, creatives returning to work, writers and media personalities. I refuse to coach other coaches as that whole thing feels like a giant pyramid scheme.
