Attentive Art Business Coaching
Turn your creativity into a sustainable source of income
Creative coaching + mentoring for neurodivergent creatives and those living with hidden disabilities
Find a way of working that works for you as you are
This is for you if you are:
A multi passionate creative who doesn’t fit into one box.
Neurodivergent (diagnosed or self-identified)
Living with a hidden disability or are energetically challenged
Feeling overwhelmed trying to build something and ‘doing all the things’
This is a situation I really understand:
You might have a million ideas but you don’t know where to focus. You struggle to make them consistent or profitable. Marketing feels uncomfortable, unnatural or terrifying. You question your worth, your pricing, or your direction. You think there must be a better way than this.
There is.
You don’t have to do more. Or force yourself to create systems that don’t feel right for you.
You can build a creative life that works with you.
I’m Sophie Hannah Walker
I’ve spent over 25 years building a creative career across art, design, photography, writing, and business. I have learned a great deal along the way.
After graduating in fashion and textiles with business, I sold my handmade accessories in boutiques as well as designing for fashion designer Paul Smith. I took part in my first art exhibition in London in 2000. In 2019 I was shortlisted for the Royal Academy. In 2021 my writing reaching the top 10% in two categories in the Bridport Prize. I ran my art gallery Kreiva in 2023/24. I also spent 5 years as an ambassador with Psychologies magazine. I have been featured in multiple publications over the years.
I moved on from some of these projects due to CMT making it difficult. Alongside this, to address my mental health challenges, I’ve spent over a decade studying modern psychology, creative mindfulness, mental health and neurodivergence.
What I came out with is a lot of qualifications, years of lived experience and an AuDHD diagnosis.
Plus a creative practice that works for me.
Let’s find out what works for you.
This isn’t traditional business coaching.
We create a strategy that supports you. If you don’t feel comfortable with it, we don’t do it. Instead we work together to:
Bring clarity to your ideas
Build a business model that fits your energy
Find ways of sharing your work that feel natural
Create systems that prevent overwhelm
Reshape the beliefs that might be holding you back
Because if your nervous system believes you can’t do it, it will always feel like a challenge.
I’m here to help you find what is easy, and for that to be okay.
