Work that asks you
to pause — on purpose.
It's easy to get so deep in the doing that you lose sight of the why. Whether you're running a business, navigating a career, or working out who you are on the other side of becoming a mother — sometimes the most useful thing you can do is pause.
These offerings are different in depth and duration, but they share the same intention: creating space to step back, reconnect with what matters, and move forward feeling more like yourself.
6 SESSIONS
A
Strategic Pause
£1,800
Six sessions × 1.5 hours
For the business owner who has built something real — but somewhere along the way, the energy has shifted. You're showing up, doing the work, saying the right things, business could even be thriving. But you know something needs work, there’s a question that needs answering. You might feel that you can’t see the wood for the trees.
A Strategic Pause is six sessions of deep, unhurried work to help you reconnect with your core values and the original reason you started. From there, we find your voice again — and let it shape how you show up, what you say, and what makes you genuinely distinctive. Essential work if you want to cut through the noise online.
This isn't coaching that rushes to the strategy. The strategy grows from the identity work.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Six 1.5-hour sessions — in person or online plus optional Whatsapp support between sessions
Values, beliefs, and drivers work
Voice and visibility — what makes you distinct
Homework between sessions to keep the thinking alive
A guiding light statement to carry forward - including your personal and business ‘why’, ethos, vision statement, as well as external marketing prompts and easy wins.

Mother's Pause
£1, 800
Six sessions × 1.5 hours
Becoming a mother — or settling into it, even years later — asks something profound of your sense of self. The old path may no longer fit. What you want, what you value, what lights you up: all of it can feel suddenly uncertain.
A Mother's Pause is a space to explore that without pressure. Whether you're expecting, on maternity leave, or finding your feet now that your children are a little older, this work meets you where you are. I've worked with women at every stage of this journey — some who began when they were pregnant and carried the work with them into early motherhood; others who needed to wait until things were quieter at home before they could finally turn their attention back to themselves.
The goal isn't a business plan or a five-year vision. It's something more valuable than that: restored self-trust. The internal compass to navigate whatever comes next, with a clearer sense of who you are and what actually fits.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Six 1.5-hour sessions — in person or online plus optional Whatsapp support between sessions
Identity, values, and self-trust work
Space to grieve what no longer fits and imagine what might
Homework between sessions — always small, always purposeful
A decision-making compass to carry forward
HALF DAY
A
Brief Pause
£1200 + travel if required
4 hours together plus planning +
Brand Compass delivered
Sometimes you don't need a six-month plan. You need a morning.
A Brief Pause is a concentrated half day together — in person in Norwich, somewhere that feels right for you, or online — built around one thing: getting you clear. On who you are, what you've built, what's feeling off, and where you actually want to go.
We'll talk honestly. I'll listen carefully and ask a lot of questions. And from that conversation I'll build your Brand Compass — a focused document that captures your values, your why, your voice, and what makes you genuinely distinctive. Not generic advice. Not a template. Something built entirely around you, that you can use as the foundation for how you show up, what you say, and what you create next.
It's the same work that sits at the heart of the longer Strategic Pause — but delivered in a single, focused session for those who want clarity quickly.
What's included:
A half day together — in person or online
Deep conversation about where you are and where you want to go
Your Brand Compass — values, why, voice, messaging and guiding light statement
Delivered as a PDF within 2 weeks of our session

Full Pause
£3200 + travel if required
Discovery · Strategy · Delivery
For the personal brand or heart-led business that's ready to get serious about how they show up — and wants a strategy that actually sounds like them. A Full Pause is a comprehensive, collaborative process to establish your brand from the inside out.
We begin with a half day together — in person or online — going deep into who you are, what you've built, and where you want to go. We'll look at your values, your story, your audience, and what's working and what isn't. I'll ask a lot of questions and listen deeply.
From there, I'll develop a full brand strategy — your why, your voice, your content pillars, your messaging — and present it back to you in a dedicated session so we can talk it through, refine it, and make sure it feels completely right. You'll then receive the final strategy, yours to use as the foundation for everything that follows. This isn't a template filled in with your name. It's built around you — and designed to make showing up feel less like performance and more like expression.
I came to this from the other side. Having spent years writing social media and brand strategies for others, I never quite imagined I'd one day be doing it for myself. But here I am — genuinely enjoying the process of sharing my own business online, because it has heart, it has a mission, and it feels like mine. If you'd like that too, I'd love to hear from you.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
A half day Discovery session — in person or online
Deep dive into your values, story, audience, and brand
Review of your existing content and social presence
A full brand strategy deck — voice, messaging, content pillars
A presentation session to walk through, question, and refine
Final strategy delivered as a PDF

The Gathering
A group coaching programme for people building heart-led spaces for connection
First cohort · July 2026 · Ten places only
I think we all feel something shifting. People are craving real, in-person connection - not curated, not performative, just genuine human gathering. And something I’ve seen so clearly since I launched A Creative Pause is that more and more people are feeling the pull to gather.
This programme is for you if you have an idea you can't let go of. A feeling that you want to bring people together in a meaningful way — around creativity, food, nature, making, movement, or simply being. You might not know exactly what shape it takes yet. That's exactly how I felt, only about six months ago.
Over six weekly sessions we'll find your idea, shape it, name it, and build the foundations to make it real. We'll work on your why, your brand, your first gathering, and how to talk about what you do in a way that feels true. You'll leave with a clear direction, a real plan, and nine people alongside you who are building something too.
This isn't a business course. It's something more human than that. It's about finding the thing that only you can offer - and giving yourself permission to build it.
What's included:
Six weekly sessions of up to two hours — online
Frameworks, exercises and tools for each session
Homework between sessions to keep momentum going
A private WhatsApp group for the cohort
My coaching, my experience building A Creative Pause, and everything I've learned about what it takes to build something that gathers people
First cohort pricing: £650 Ten places only. Founding cohort members receive a reduced rate in exchange for honest feedback and a testimonial.
Full programme price from September 2026: £1,000

What my clients say
“Hannah's coaching sessions have been such a positive and transformative experience for me as a person and as a small business owner. She has a genuine natural warmth and empathy that make her a real pleasure to work with. She is encouraging and insightful and helped me to challenge previously held beliefs and to get to the heart of your 'why' and focus on your strengths. My sessions with Hannah came at a crucial time in my business journey and they helped shape the future of my business. She's a talented coach and a really lovely human. I could not recommend Hannah more highly and wish her every, much deserved, success.”
Helen Armon-Jones, The Art Buyer
“Before working with Hannah I hadn't considered what my personal values, drivers or beliefs were and over the course of six sessions we explored this and so much more which was a truly transformative experience. I started working with Hannah when I was 9 months pregnant and found the journey of new motherhood paired so well with coaching as I had time to think reflectively but also had someone to guide me through this transition and the mental shift that came alongside this. Working with Hannah has given me a renewed sense of clarity and confidence and has made me excited to return back to work knowing what is important to me.”
Arabella Balmford, Senior Business and Client Development Manager @ Selfridges
“Working with Hannah has been transformational. She created a safe, supportive space where I could truly understand myself—giving me the time and freedom to talk openly, acknowledge my achievements, and set out a clear, conscious plan for the future. Her approach is thoughtful and encouraging, yet constructively challenging when needed, which pushed me to grow in ways I hadn’t expected. I’ve seen a remarkable increase in my confidence, which now flows into every aspect of my life—not just business. I would wholeheartedly recommend Hannah to any businesswoman ready to break down barriers (even if you're unaware they're there), unlock your potential, and excel.”
