(There’s Something for everyone)
What It Really Takes - The (Real) Actor’s Life - Developing the person, the career and the craft behind exceptional actors.
-
A 12-week premium coaching partnership for ambitious performers ready to invest in the person behind the performer — developing the career, craft and personal foundations required for long-term success.
We’ll develop the beliefs, habits and systems that allow you to build a sustainable career — creating greater stability, resilience and autonomy in an unpredictable industry.
Together, we’ll set ambitious goals and create a clear path towards the career and lifestyle you truly want — aligning your actions, decisions and daily habits with the future you are working towards.
We’ll also explore the life beyond performing: nurturing your relationships, interests, wellbeing and sense of identity outside the industry, so that your career is supported by a fulfilling life rather than becoming the only measure of your success.
The goal is to help you build a career and lifestyle where you can show up fully when opportunities arrive, while still creating space for joy, connection and the person you are beyond the performer.
At the end of the programme, you’ll have the opportunity to continue your development through Wingman Continuation — a monthly coaching membership designed to help you maintain momentum, navigate new challenges and continue building a career and life that thrive together.
-
Ongoing Support Between Sessions
You won’t be navigating the process alone between sessions.
You’ll have access to me via WhatsApp voice notes and email for support, accountability and guidance when you need it — whether you’re working through a challenge, need a midweek reset, want feedback on a decision, or want to share a win.
Personalised Career Audits
As part of the programme, you’ll receive detailed feedback on your marketing materials.

The Wingman Access Fund
I know that creative careers can be unpredictable, and sometimes circumstances outside our control can make accessing the right support difficult.
The Wingman Access Fund offers a limited number of reduced-rate coaching spaces for performers experiencing genuine financial difficulty due to unexpected circumstances, loss of income or significant career disruption.
These spaces are intended for performers who are committed to their professional development but are temporarily unable to access the standard coaching investment.
Places are limited and offered on a case-by-case basis.
🎓 Hey 2026 Grads — I See You
I’ve been through the process and I know how you might be feeling.
That strange mix of freedom, excitement and hope — followed by the sudden realisation that the structure you’ve relied on for years has disappeared.
No more classes.
No more tutors checking in.
No more built-in feedback.
No one telling you what to work on next.
Just you.
Your ambition.
Your talent.
And a lot of uncertainty.
You’ve spent years preparing for this moment — training, learning, growing — and then suddenly you’re expected to navigate the reality of a creative career with very little guidance.
Maybe you’ve already secured representation or your first opportunities — congratulations.
Maybe you’re still waiting for that first breakthrough — that’s okay too.
Wherever you are right now, I want you to know this:
You are not behind. You are not failing. And you are not alone.
The transition from training into the industry is one of the biggest adjustments a performer faces.
The reality is that this industry is unpredictable. Work is not guaranteed. Rejection is part of the process. Progress can feel slower than you imagined.
But that doesn’t mean you are powerless.
The performers who build lasting careers are not just the ones with talent. They are the ones who develop the mindset, habits, systems and resilience needed to navigate the reality of the industry.
The first few years matter.
Building strong foundations early can help you make better decisions, protect your creativity, manage the uncertainty and create a career approach that is sustainable for the long term.
That’s why I created From Grad to Pro.
A graduate-focused coaching programme designed to help you make the transition from training into professional life with greater clarity, confidence and direction.
Together, we’ll work on:
understanding who you are as a performer;
building your professional foundations;
creating a realistic career strategy;
developing habits and systems that support you;
navigating the personal and practical realities of creative life.
If you’re ready to approach this next chapter with more structure, more confidence and someone in your corner — I’d love to help.
Your Creative Wingman,
Jamie

Meet your Coach
Hi, I'm Jamie.
I'm an actor and founder of Your Creative Wingman.
I've been building a career in this industry for over a decade and, honestly, I still feel incredibly lucky to call it my job. I've worked with organisations including the Royal Shakespeare Company, National Theatre, Cirque Du Soleil and Welsh National Theatre, performed in the West End, toured internationally, appeared in feature films, produced my own work, performed stand-up comedy and even packed up my life to move to Los Angeles to see what was possible. I've experienced incredible opportunities, career-defining moments and unforgettable collaborations.
I've also experienced rejection, uncertainty, financial pressure, visa challenges, anxiety, heartbreak and the moments where I've wondered, "Am I doing the right thing?". But through every stage, one thing has remained constant. I keep choosing this life. Not because it's easy. Because I genuinely believe a creative life is one of the richest lives you can live. We get to tell stories. We get to make people laugh, cry and think. Great art can change the world. We meet extraordinary people. We travel. We keep learning. How lucky are we?
The problem is that nobody really teaches us how to live this life. Drama school teaches us how to perform. It doesn't always teach us how to navigate rejection. How to cope when work dries up. How to build routines when no one is telling you what to do. How to look after your mental health. How to create opportunities instead of waiting for them. Or how to build a life that feels fulfilling whether you're in rehearsal or between jobs. I've had to learn a lot of that myself. Sometimes the hard way. I’ve been knocked down and picked myself back up more times than I can recall. You have to get good at bouncing back - and quick. It’s not a natural skill and one that needs to be learnt, practiced and refined.
That's why I became a qualified coach through the Jay Shetty Certification School and created Your Creative Wingman. Because I wanted to be the person I wish I'd had. Someone in your corner. Someone who understands both the dream and the reality. Someone who'll celebrate the wins, help you through the knock-backs and remind you why you chose this life in the first place. Because I don't think the goal is simply to have a successful career. I think it's to build a creative life that you genuinely enjoy living.
And I'd love to help you do that.
Jamie

FAQ’s
-
Coaching is a structured, collaborative process designed to help you gain clarity, set meaningful goals, and take consistent action — with honest support along the way. It’s not therapy, advice-giving, or a one-size-fits-all plan. It’s about helping you figure out what matters and how to move toward it in a way that feels sustainable and true to who you are.
Is it worth your money?
If you're ready to invest in yourself, get out of your own way, and actually start making intentional progress toward your creative goals, coaching can be a game-changer. You will get out what you put in. -
Important question. Why should you trust your time, money and career aspirations with me?
Coaching is personal. The relationship matters, and finding someone who understands your goals, your challenges and the way you want to work is essential.What I can tell you is that I’m deeply invested in the people I work with.
Your Creative Wingman isn’t just a business to me — it’s a personal mission. I want to help create happier, healthier and more resilient performers who can build careers they’re proud of while still enjoying the lives they’re creating along the way.
I’ve lived the realities of this industry myself. I understand the excitement, the uncertainty, the rejection, the pressure and the moments where you have to choose whether to keep going. That experience, combined with my professional coaching training through the Jay Shetty Certification School and years of teaching and supporting performers, shapes the way I work.
These sessions are not about giving you generic advice or a one-size-fits-all formula. They’re about understanding you — your goals, your challenges, your ambitions and what is truly important to you — then working together to create meaningful change.
I truly believe performers are capable of more than they often allow themselves to imagine. But coaching is a partnership.
If you’re willing to back yourself, be open, put in the work and take action, I will meet you there with everything I have. I’ll challenge you, support you, celebrate your wins and stand in your corner throughout the process.
Because my goal isn’t just to help you chase a career.
It’s to help you build a creative life you genuinely love living.

Some of the most common benefits clients experience:
Clarity - You'll get out of your own head and define what you actually want (not just what you think you “should” want).
Momentum - You'll stop circling the same problems and start making consistent, intentional progress.
Accountability - You'll have someone checking in, challenging your patterns, and keeping you moving - without guilt or fluff.
Confidence - You'll build trust in your own voice, instincts, and direction - even when things feel messy.
Support - You'll have a non-judgmental space to talk it out, reset, and stay connected to your purpose.And yes - often, clients achieve the goals they came in with.
Sometimes faster than they expected.
Sometimes with more ease than they thought possible.
Sometimes by realising the original goal wasn’t the real goal - and finding something better.
And eventually, you’ll notice something powerful:
You’ll start coaching yourself.
You’ll hear your own voice more clearly. You’ll know what questions to ask, when to pause, and how to move forward - without second-guessing everything. -
I get it-this industry moves fast.
That’s why there’s a 24-hour reschedule window.If something changes last-minute (like a same-day casting), I’ll always do my best to be flexible if you give me notice.
Life happens. Let’s just communicate. -
Some clients enjoy the ease and flexibility of working online whilst others enjoy the experience of working with me in-person.
For those clients based in London I am able to offer in-person coaching sessions for a small additional fee. Enquire through the contact section or through your free 20 minute chat prior to booking. -
Absolutely. I love working with performers from around the world.
Having built my own career across both the UK and US markets, I understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with pursuing an international creative career — adapting to different industries, building new networks, navigating uncertainty and finding your place in a new environment.
My experience as an international artist gives me insight into the realities of building a career beyond one market, and I bring that perspective into my coaching with performers wherever they are in the world.
Whether you’re looking to break into a new territory, strengthen your position in your current market or simply gain clarity on your next steps, I’ll work with you to understand your goals and help you create a strategy that aligns with the career you want to build.
The industry may look different around the world, but the foundations of a sustainable creative career remain the same: confidence, resilience, self-awareness, strategy and the ability to keep moving forward.

A therapist helps you explore the past, process emotional challenges, and care for your mental health. Therapy often focuses on healing, trauma, and internal patterns.
A mentor gives guidance based on their own experience. They’ve “been there,” and they’re here to show you how they did it — sometimes offering contacts, shortcuts, or advice specific to a shared field.
A coach (like me) holds space for your thinking, feelings, and goals — but doesn’t give you answers. I’m not here to tell you what to do. I’m here to ask the right questions, help you untangle what’s stuck, and support you as you make decisions that feel honest and sustainable.
-
Yes!
Honestly… this is one of my favorite types of client to work with.Whether you stepped away for a few months or a few years-because of life, family, burnout, or just needing a break-it’s never too late to redefine your creative path.
We can work on:
Rebuilding your confidence
Getting clear on what “coming back” means for you (full-time, part-time, or just testing the waters)
Updating your mindset to match where you are now (not where you were before you stepped away)
Creating a realistic, tailored game plan for re-entry
If that sounds like you… yes, we can absolutely work together.
-
If you're established in your career, chances are you're not “figuring it out” — you're managing a lot.
And somewhere along the way, it’s easy to lose the why, the energy, or the space for you in the middle of it all.You might be:
🔁 Stuck in a cycle of work that looks good on paper but feels flat
🎭 Creatively burnt out or craving a new challenge
🎒 Juggling your career, family responsibilities, and wondering where your life outside of all that has gone
💡 Sitting on side passions or personal projects you keep putting off
💬 Wondering: “What if it’s time to give something back to myself for once?”Coaching gives you a place to pause, reflect, and reimagine what the next phase of your life and work could look like — without blowing it all up.
Together, we can:
✔️ Create space for joy and play again
✔️ Build a version of success that includes you in the picture
✔️ Find rhythm and balance between career, home, and your own growth
✔️ Support you in investing in what you've been quietly putting offBecause you've already given so much to your career.
Now it might be time to give something back to yourself. -
You absolutely can - and you probably already have in lots of ways.
Talking things through with a good friend can be helpful. So can journaling, venting, Googling, and voice-noting your existential dread into the void. But here’s the difference:
A coach isn’t emotionally entangled in your life.
They’re not trying to protect your feelings or fix things for you.
They’re trained to ask the kind of questions that pull things into focus, and to hold you accountable in a way that’s compassionate - but firm.It’s not that you can’t do it alone.
It’s that you don’t have to.
And sometimes, having structured support - someone who sees your potential and helps you actually act on it - can get you further, faster, and with way less burnout along the way. -
I hear you - and I’ve been there too. Do I put money into myself or class?
It can feel strange (even guilty) to spend money on something that’s just for you, especially when the creative path already feels uncertain or financially tight. But here’s the thing:
Coaching isn’t self-indulgent. It’s strategic.
It’s not about luxury - it’s about creating clarity, momentum, and mental space that saves you months (or years) of feeling stuck, spinning in circles, or waiting for “the right time.” It can also make sure you are investing you money in the right class for you.This isn’t about throwing money at a problem. It’s about backing yourself.
And if the full investment isn’t doable right now, we can look at payment plans or start smaller - even one session can shift things meaningfully.You are worth the investment - because you're building something brave. And that deserves support.

Offering payment plans gives you more flexibility - allowing you to access longer-term coaching without the pressure of paying it all upfront. It’s designed to make things more accessible and aligned with your budget. The small increase helps cover extra processing fees, admin time, and the flexibility involved. A little more work on my end, a little less strain for you.
