🌿 1:1 creative storytelling sessions
Creative Storytelling Sessions are focused 1 hour online sessions for changemakers, freelancers, and project leads seeking a creative sounding board or strategic story support.
You bring your questions, challenges, or a spark of an idea—I’ll bring encouragement, insight, and tools from 10+ years of co-creating stories in the charity, education, and social change sectors.
Sessions can help you:
Develop a story concept or campaign
Plan a community-led storytelling project
Map your values and audience needs into your messaging
Get unstuck creatively
How to work with me:
Book a free 30 minute Discovery Call to see if we could be a good fit.
Book a 1-hour Creative Storytelling Session (via Zoom) to explore possibilities for your storytelling project - whether it’s a video, a series of videos, audio, or other elements of media.
Each Creative Storytelling Session will be followed up with a summary outline of the conversation and potential creative routes for you to take.
If you want to continue with further Creative Storytelling Sessions, you can book them individually or choose one of the great value bundle options.
How do I know which options to choose?
The best place to start is to book a free Discovery Call or email me - kirstie@braveday.co.uk - to start a conversation about what you need, and I can advise on what I think would be the best options for you. If you want to ease into working together, then a one-off Creative Storytelling Session is a good way to explore what you need and all the different ways I could support you.
Plus, you are invited to join the Brave Day Stories Newsletter with weekly guidance and signposts to useful resources. Brave Day clients will receive extra freebies and special offers throughout the year.
Laurence Bascle - coaching client
“I was looking for a creative coach who could guide me through the writing process of a complex audio-documentary series, which I had been stuck with for months.
As soon as I talked to Kirstie, I knew it was a good match: she was both curious about the content and supremely attuned to the factors that can affect the creative process (impostor syndrome, time management around life’s other demands).
Kirstie’s ability to adapt to unusual needs was remarkable, and our open communication meant the support framework evolved over time, something which is very rare.
Ultimately, Brave Day lived up to its name: it reconciled me with a sense of wonder and play in creativity and gave me the tools to gain creative resilience for the future.”
