What is Lauren's approach to mentoring?

I have a dynamic and holistic approach, working through the issues you face in your business with grace and kindness. I aim to ensure each client feels heard and truly understood, offering up ideas and solutions that we can discuss and work through together. I have a keen eye for spotting opportunities to build creative confidence and leveraging income resilience. My goal is for you to leave our sessions feeling energised and inspired to create!

  • Designers needing to strategise and refocus their work to get the jobs they want

  • Photographers in need of a second opinion as they build their self-brand

How will I access the mentoring sessions?

Your mentoring sessions will always be one to one, so you get the focussed face-to-face time to really be heard.

We'll meet online via video call or in person if you’re local to Poole. The sessions can either be a one-off ‘Gentle Focus Hour’ or a series of sessions over a course of months.

I am committed to offering fully accessible and flexible services in my approach to mentoring.

Everything is tailored to your needs, and not only will we meet in these sessions together but I’ll also send a follow-up pack after every meeting with key suggestions, additional ideas, and resources.

Do you offer student discount?

A 'Joyous Journey' Series

A series of three 45-minute sessions to forge a plan and see it through together.

Each call will have a follow-up, bespoke plan to summarise our key takeaways, observations, and plan.

You are also welcome to message in between sessions and I will provide support via voice memo or written text.

Testimonials

"Speaking with Lauren provided me the clarity and support I needed to move forward with my illustration goals. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and insightful."

ALEX, MENTORING CLIENT

“My 1:1 power hour with Lauren was SO inspiring and I left feeling super motivated and ready to take action. It was clear from the get-go that Lauren had taken the time to look through the links and files provided, she already had an action plan in mind and plenty of valuable thoughts and guidance to share, this made me feel supported and at ease from the very start of our call. Lauren is warm and welcoming, we clicked straight away and spoke at length about all my business plans, thoughts, and worries. I truly loved our chat."
