Professional Development Coaching for Creatives
When Your Creative Spark Calls But Fear Holds You Back
You have talent. You have dreams. But somewhere between "what if" and "what now," you've lost your way.
Maybe you're doubting whether your work matters. Perhaps you're earning some income but it feels scattered, unsustainable. Or you're simply tired of playing small when you know there's so much more inside you waiting to emerge.
Creative Coaching That Actually Works
With 20+ years in the arts and training from Australia's top mindset coaches, I help creative souls like you transform from uncertain to clear and confident.
This isn't just about making more art or more money (though both happen). It's about becoming the artist you're meant to be—with tools to keep growing and flourishing, even when fear shows up.

Joanne Bingham - Artist
Working with Anna in her Creative Catalyst program was amazing. In just four weeks, she helped me rediscover the life that I truly want and reignited my passion for the creative life I’ve been wanting to build.
With Anna’s support, I shifted mindset blocks, gained clarity, and created a clear, aligned plan to move forward. I feel more confident, focused, and excited about my creative future.
Learning to think in a new, more intuitive way and embody the artist I want to become has been challenging, enriching and empowering.
My business has started to grow in a short time. I’m learning to streamline my strategies with a focus on doing less to create more, while maintaining my passion and wellbeing. I’m really looking forward to continuing with Anna in the next stage of coaching.

Anna is a gifted, intuitive and talented Coach for Creatives. She helped me in so many ways to transform my art practice. With Anna’s support with envisioning the outcome I wanted, I had a sell out exhibition with a wonderful response from community. Her coaching sessions are inspiring, interesting and always insightful. She is a joy to spend time with. I could not have achieved such a successful and professional outcome with my art practice and an exhibition without her help. I would definitely encourage anyone wanting to develop and refine their creative practice to consider working with Anna. She is a true gem.

I highly recommend working with Anna Gillison as a coach and mentor. She has provided me with a wealth of creative inspiration in her approach to guiding me with my art practice. She has shown me new pathways to follow, ways to promote myself and my art, and allayed my doubts and fears, including releasing blockages that have hindered my progress, while developing my art in new directions. I have loved her creative coaching sessions as she is supportive of what can be achieved. I have benefited greatly from her feedback and the work that she has set for me. Her coaching program has instilled greater confidence in myself through stepping away from negativity and with a renewed sense of purpose and focus on the direction my art is taking''.
