The experience
Over six weeks, you’ll work closely with Tim Hughes to define what success looks like for you and build a clear, achievable path to get there.
Tim works with creative and strategic minds, founders, and small business owners who know they’re capable of more—but want sharper focus, better judgment, and confident direction. Whether you’re scaling a business, reconnecting with what brings you joy, or creating a healthier work/life balance, this programme is built entirely around you.
No templates. No generic advice. Just thoughtful challenge and tailored guidance.
The approach
Creative Counselling blends coaching, mentoring, and strategic insight into a personalised, high-impact process.
Each session functions as a guided, structured brainstorm—designed to surface what matters, challenge assumptions, and turn ideas into clear, practical next steps. Together, we’ll identify your aspirations, uncover what’s getting in the way, and create solutions that actually move the needle.
It’s reflective, but decisive. Creative, but grounded.
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 keep progress on track
Each deep-dive session is followed by clear actions and light “homework” to keep your thinking moving between sessions.
All sessions are delivered remotely via Zoom.
The result
You’ll finish the programme with clearer direction, stronger confidence, and a practical roadmap you can actually follow.
This accelerator is designed to create real progress—not just good conversations.
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.
