What Clients Say
I first approached Lisa for a series of creative counselling consultations after I had just completed a screenplay that needed minor improvements. Thanks to Lisa’s eagle eye and constructive feedback, my writing has been elevated in ways I could not have previously imagined.
What I have appreciated most is Lisa’s laser focus for when I fall back on cliché, and the way she has taught me to push through in order to develop character and story more deeply, in ways that make sense and connect more strongly with audiences.
Yet despite being laser-focussed in her assessment of my work, Lisa has given me, most of all, the space and encouragement to develop my own voice as a writer. It is in this balance of helping me to develop my discipline, yet also encouraging me to find my own way through playfulness and curiosity, that I am most thankful for.
Lisa’s long career in the arts, and her gentle manner, have ensured me that I feel safe in sharing my ideas with her because she understands and respects the process. I would not hesitate to recommend Lisa unreservedly, for anyone needing some direction, inspiration or feedback on a project.
The thing I love about Lisa’s creative mentoring is that she is not afraid of reminding me of when I am stuck in the repetitive success driven thought patterns that a lot of creatives can fall into. This allows me to go deeper into the subconscious and see when my creativity is not coming from the right place.
Lisa offers a no judgement, warm & open environment for me to vent, let out and explore where my feelings are coming from and set goals moving forward.
I recommend anyone who needs developing as an artist or human being to engage in counselling sessions with her.
Before I was working with Lisa it was taking me a few days to process what was really happening. I kept being tripped up by my need to protect myself from everyone.
During our time together I have been able to gently and softly come to trusting more in others. Truthfully being with what’s really there and not what my mind is throwing at me based on passed evidence and conditioning. This means now I am able to feel my truth more fully and trust in what I am as a creator.
Lisa is spectacular at what she does. She is a trusted advisor in my most challenging circumstances and always invites me to move into the potentiality of a situation. Instead of feeling trapped by circumstance.
I get to maintain my own equilibrium and live in providence that all possibilities are available for me. It has changed the material reality of my day to day life and I now know I am valuable, and safe to share truthfully and vulnerably.
Having first met Lisa Foley in 2014, she has since mentored me in a variety of visual art forms along with story writing skills.
Coming from a technical and military background, and suffering severe PTSD, creativity has proved to be a powerful medium for my ongoing wellbeing and rehabilitation. For me, the thereapetutic benefits have changed my life.
Lisa has a wealth of life experience, artistic ability and formal education to provide holistic and well-rounded guidance and advice. She instils a calming, no-nonsense approach to imparting creative skills and knowledge. These endeavours have greatly aided me with healing.
