Artist Care
Would you like to co-design a safer, more inclusive space for your project?
This offer helps artists and performers better support both their own and their collaborator’s needs – creating a safer, more inclusive space for a project.
Since 2016 Stuart has been developing new approaches to care, access and diversity through a co-creation model. In developing the Artist Care package, he folds his professional coaching practice into his experience as a successful artist and facilitator.

What people say about working with Stuart

I found Stuart to be sensitive, thoughtful and engaged. I would definitely recommend him and hope that you find him as helpful as I did!
Business CEO

My sessions with Stuart arrived at a pivotal point in my career… Stuart allowed me to exercise my positioning and helped me prioritise my core values and how this can be used positively and reflectively to give myself the agency and tools for change.
Senior Manager, Arts and Cultural Sector

Stuart created a safe, neutral space for me to explore my goals and fears without judgement. What stood out was Stuart’s ability to guide me, not only towards my goals but also to help me build a mindset rooted in self-belief and resilience.
