I feel a fresh confidence in being me and in what I am about. Flipping my message on its head was a revelation, and I’ve used the workshops as a starting point to relaunch the practice – a very worthwhile investment!

How I help
I can help you to…
- articulate your why, who, how and what
- carve out your niche
- get your new website written
- write all sorts of things more easily.
What I don’t do these days is write the words for you (but I know some great writers who would love to help).

We can sit round the table in your studio. Or gather in the conference room in your office. Or get together on Zoom. Or I can join you on your ‘team awayday’ (always a treat for me).
Whatever we’re working on, it’ll be a chance for you to refocus, pin down the things that matter, find your voice, and get excited about the future.
My Zoom workshops start from £600, and my ‘in-the-room’ workshops start from £900. Apart from that, they come in all shapes, sizes, subjects, and places. Tell me what you need, and we’ll make a plan.
I also do ad-hoc ‘live-editing sessions’ on Zoom. Those start at £120 for an hour’s session. We put our heads together over a piece of writing or an idea – perhaps the wording for a brochure, the script for a little film, or the strapline for your website – and I provide the sounding board and fresh (but experienced) pair of eyes. You just pay for as little or as much of my time as you need.
More clarity
Most of us are so busy doing what we do (and I’ve been guilty of this too) that we don’t stand back, remember what once inspired us, and think about where we’re headed.
This is your chance to do that. It’s time away from the everyday things that pull us in so many directions, and time to get to grips with what really matters.
If you’ve always wanted to pin down your purpose, your values and your vision, now’s the time.

“It was an hour of revelations”
Sophie Griffiths, Campbell & Co Architects
More confidence
With clarity comes confidence – to seek out the clients you want and say no (nicely) to those you don’t.
You’ll make decisions more easily. And you’ll be better at other things too – understanding the impact of your work and conveying the value in what you do.
“It’s been a joy”
Catherine Finkernagel, Finkernagel Ross
More consistency
With your thoughts in order, you’ll know the story you’re telling and the voice you’re telling it in.
Whatever you’re doing – talking with a potential client, writing an awards submission, interviewing someone to join your team – you’ll be building a strong and consistent brand, in the easiest way possible.
“Absolutely loved it”

More connection
With consistency comes trust and connection.
Your ideal clients will grasp exactly how you can help them. They’ll know they’re in good hands, and they’ll want to work with you.
“Much more fun than therapy”
Sarah, Urban Designer
And one more thing…
I also run workshops for people like me – non-architects who work with architects.
I’ve jumped on board with web designers, interior designers, sustainability consultants and more, helping them carve out their niche and articulate their sense of purpose. Because if it’s just you faced with too many possibilities, you might just need someone else to get you moving in the right direction.
We’ll unstick whatever’s sticking, bounce ideas around, and find your best way forward.
We are passionate about what we do, but we were always lost for words when asked about why we do it. You made us go deep within ourselves and helped us bring to the surface what we really love about what we do, and you helped us find the words to match.
Andrew and Deborah Mulroy, Mulroy Architects
Writing our own story with your support was really empowering. You turned our thinking on its head in so many ways, and the structure of the process really helped and gave clear focus. We enjoyed it all immensely.
Kieron Peaty, Studio Forty
You’ve helped me step outside my comfort zone to tell stories and talk on film about my work. I wouldn’t have had the courage without you.
Neil Dusheiko, Neil Dusheiko Architects
We already knew where we wanted to get to, but what you have given us are the tools to get there.
Richard Gill, Paul Archer Design
There were lots of eureka moments when the disconnected wires in my brain finally came together.
Tom Turner, Tom Turner Architects
It has been a breath of fresh air working with you on the website text.
Nick Rich, IID Architects
I have loved the whole process and the workshops have flown by.
Carole Tupper, IID Architects
I found our workshop extremely enlightening, and you have really helped me think about writing from a different perspective.
Fred Guttfield, Guttfield Architecture
Juliette made me want to really look and understand why I do the work I do, as well as giving me enthusiasm, ambition and confidence to change the way I think about my work.
Sam Tisdall, Sam Tisdall Architects
Juliette pushed us beyond our comfort zones, got us thinking, talking and writing, and gave us fresh ways of approaching the different pages of our website. The whole process was thoroughly enjoyable and useful.
Simon Drayson, George and James Architects
I had struggled to find my voice in my writing, and Juliette helped us break through the difficulty of starting with a blank page and find a friendly and approachable – but still professional – tone.
Christian Gonsalves, MIX Architects
