About Rachel

Film making, painting, screen printing, writing, performance, all creative expressions, it all counts. Images my own.
About Rachel Marsden
My own art: From the series ‘Allan and Eunice’, a portrait of my grandparents through the objects they collected. This series was a finalist in the Stanthorpe Regional Art Prize and exhibited in Brisbane. A creative non-fiction piece I wrote to accompany this series was published in print in ‘White Magazine’.

The intersection where creativity and pragmatism meet is where I reside as a coach/mentor/trainer to artists and creatives.

I love helping artists, creatives and life artists overcome their blocks, increase their creative expression and find fulfilling paths for their lives and careers. 

I love helping artists gain publicity and recognition for their work by training them in the skills they need to create these opportunities for themselves.

For me, coaching is a form of collaborative art in itself.

My methodology combines traditional facilitative and positive psychology coaching approaches, creativity coaching (as developed by Dr. Eric Maisel) and other humanistic approaches.

I am pragmatic and action-oriented. I merge the coaching approach (where you find your own answers first) with consultation (where I provide practical information and tools). We do goal-setting and strategizing where appropriate.

I am empathetic and love to bring humour and playfulness to sessions where appropriate. We take ourselves too seriously sometimes.

I have been self-employed for ten years now. This has been as a photographer, writer, art therapist and as an artist coach/trainer.

I have worked 1:1 with hundreds of creative people helping them achieve all kinds of creative and personal goals. I work with clients internationally.
