Creative Counselling.
Professional mentoring with a twist.
The programme
A six-week accelerator for people who want clearer thinking, stronger decisions, and meaningful momentum.
This programme combines proven coaching techniques with practical, creative mentoring to help you cut through noise, focus on what matters, and move forward with confidence across your work, business, money, and sense of purpose.
The journey
Over six weeks, you’ll work directly with Tim Hughes to define what success looks like for you, and build a clear, realistic path to get there.
Tim works with creative and strategic thinkers, founders, and small business owners who know they’re capable of more, but want sharper clarity and better judgment to unlock it. Whether you’re scaling a business, recalibrating your direction, or redesigning how work fits into your life, the programme is built around your goals and your reality.
This is focused, one-to-one attention designed to move you forward.
The method
The approach: Creative Counselling blends coaching, mentoring, and strategic advice into a tailored, high-impact process.
Each session functions as a guided, structured brainstorm. Together, you’ll identify what you want, what’s in the way, and what actually needs to happen next. Ideas are challenged, priorities are clarified, and decisions are turned into action.
You’ll leave each session with sharper thinking, renewed confidence, and clear next steps.
The format
The programme runs over six weeks and alternates between:
A 60-minute deep-dive session focused on clarity, strategy, and decision-making
A 30-minute review session the following week to refine thinking, maintain momentum, and course-correct where needed
Each deep-dive session is followed by clear actions and practical focus points. All sessions are delivered remotely and designed to fit around busy working lives.
The investment
The complete six-week programme is £1,250 + VAT.
This is an investment in better thinking, better decisions, and work that feels aligned, confident, and sustainable.
The next step
If you’re ready to sharpen your thinking, unlock your best ideas, and move forward with clarity, this programme is designed for you.

The process
Tim Hughes brings over 20 years’ experience launching TV channels and helping creative businesses grow, scale, and sharpen their thinking.
Professional Mentoring is like having an experienced board member in your corner, without the cost, complexity, or commitment.
