Testimonials

“Working with Clare Travis is the best investment I've made into my writing career - because working with her is about more than just writing. Together, we explored the blocks that were holding me back and the fears that were harrying me, then we defined and defanged them to make more room for the good things that flow when I write with power and belief: family, friends, what I love and the intuitions I follow. I still get stuck, and I still have doubts. But thanks to Clare I have answers, and a few buttons to push when I'm in a pinch on the page and in life. I thoroughly recommend her services, and look forward to working with her again on my next book, and the next...”

“I enjoyed working with Clare enormously. It came at a time when I was needing to dig deep and find ways of better supporting myself to manage the highs, lows and sheer workload of a career as an Artistic Director. Clare’s abilities to create a safe, accepting and compassionate space, spark new ideas and help me to stay accountable, were instrumental in helping me to re-centre, create goals and take actions which are leading me to better balance. Since working with Clare I am feeling better equipped to manage the challenges and optimistic about what the future holds for my creative practice and creative leadership.”

“Clare’s greatest skills are her ability to engage and inspire her clients, and in my case, that meant welcoming a kinder, calmer, and more compassionate approach to myself as a complex human being. In practical terms, this meant the difference between my castigating myself for a book well-written but not yet accepted for publication, and my heading to Varuna — The National Writers' House and completing an entire first draft of a new book in two weeks, staying present, focused and dedicated to the job at hand. That first draft became a memoir that has now been accepted for publication and attracted support from The Australia Council, The Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries and the Minderoo Foundation. I now have greater clarity and focus with my writing, and more importantly, I have my own back and a more positive, inclusive mindset. Working with Clare has very much helped me move forward into the next stage of my writing career, and I recommend her services highly.”
