Sarah Longfield: Creative Business & Life Coaching
Sarah Longfield provides subscription-based creative business coaching for creative entrepreneurs, artists and arts professionals.
1-2-1 Coaching
Based in the UK and working globally online, this coaching service includes 1-2-1 sessions, a resource library, and WhatsApp/ email support for a rolling fee of £99 per month.
Through a rolling subscription model, you receive:
One x 1-2-1 online coaching hour every month (via zoom)
Discounted extra sessions within the month, if you need/ request them
A bespoke approach, designed around you and the way you work most effectively
Access to a wide range of useful resources and coaching tools in my Library of Useful Things which will help you plan, dream and take action
Autonomy to decide how long you want our coaching process to last (not some arbitrary number of sessions)
A challenging cheerleader in your corner, celebrating your wins and holding you accountable
Who I Work With
I have worked with founders and executives of small to medium sized organisations and freelance artists and creatives, across all art forms. My clients see me out when struggling with finding time to develop and implement strategy, work out pricing, getting visible, dealing with perfectionism, finding momentum and getting unstuck... amongst other things.
Current clients include; musicians, textile artists, animators, theatre makers, writers, illustrators, interior designers, dancers, visual artists, ceramicists, and creatively minded entrepreneurs (regardless of whether their business is creative or not).
My Coaching With Sarah programme offers significant value and is designed with individual creatives and entrepreneurs in mind, offering an accessible pathway to focused support and action. The current pricing reflects my commitment to supporting individual creatives and entrepreneurs. I work with a select number of clients at any one time to ensure focused and personalised attention.
For corporate clients seeking bespoke coaching programmes tailored to their specific organisational needs and potentially involving larger teams or longer engagements, please contact me directly to discuss customised solutions and pricing.
What impact might coaching have?
Coaching can be incredibly powerful
But, it all depends on how much you put into it. You could work with the most amazing coach in the world but if you aren't willing to do the work between sessions, not much will shift. I will be your challenging cheerleader, holding you accountable, but also letting you know when it looks like you are being too harsh on yourself.
We can work together to work out what stories you might be telling yourself, gain clarity on your future direction, build confidence, develop strategy and, above all, add more OOMPH into your life and work.
My coaching is non-directive. It's more powerful than mentoring because it's not about me giving you advice, it's about me supporting you to find the answers you already have, but perhaps can't see at the moment. It's the juicy stuff!
I do combine in a bit of mentoring too, if it's useful, as I do have extensive experience in running small businesses, the creative sector and general entrepreneurship. We just have to be clear when we're in 'coaching mode' and 'mentoring mode', but we can discuss that and what's best for you in our sessions.
How does it work?
It's a rolling subscription of £99 a month.
For that you'll get:
1 x hour long coaching session
WhatsApp or email access between sessions
Access to The Library of Useful Things
Option to buy additional coaching sessions within the month for £60 per hour
Regular discounts and special offers to my other programmes, courses and workshops
Free access to The Luggage Tag Business Plan course
I'm really flexible with time and it's dead easy booking in, using my Calendly booking system.
You can usually book in a session with only a couple of days notice and you can rearrange if something comes up easily.
Most sessions are available Mon-Fri during the day, but there are a few evening slots most weeks. And I will prompt you if you haven't booked in and we're nearly at the end of the month. I want you to make full use of this experience!
What's in the Library of Useful Things?
The Library of Useful Things is an evolving collection of techniques, explanatory videos, worksheets and resource lists. You also get free access to my mini course: The Luggage Tag Business Plan.
Some things will be right up your street and others might not suit. That's OK - the point of the library is to give you access to a wide range of my coaching techniques, inspiration and processes so you can pick and choose what works for you.
It also provides signifcantly good value as it maximises the impact of our 1-2-1 time together. (I won't waste time explaining exercises as it's all in the library.)
If you come across something you want to explore further in our sessions, brilliant! You're in the driving seat, so just let me know and we'll dive right in.

FAQs
To put it simply, very easy!
I have not structured this to trick people. Quite the opposite - this coaching has evolved based on feedback from previous clients and what I can see my target audience needs the most.
If you cancel on the day that your subscription is taken (so payment might have already been taken) just ping me an email and I'll refund you.

I will regularly check in with you to make sure that our work together is still of value. If it is, and if it's still affordable, and we have a good working relationship, we can keep going as long as you want to!
The average is around 6 or 7 sessions, but some clients work with me for longer, and some have a short burst of sessions sometimes coming back at a later date.
Thinking About It?
I get it. Coaching isn't rocket science, it is about 90% the right fit with the coach. So let's have a virtual chat and we can talk about it. Take your pick from times here:

Training & Credentials
I trained with Animas and undertook a diploma (of 123 hours) in Transformational Coaching in 2020.
I underwent the credentialing process to become an Associate Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation. I held this from 2021 to 2024 and have chosen not to renew it as it's not needed in my field, however, I fully adhere to the ICF code of ethics.
I am fully insured and regularly attend supervision.
If you have any questions about my my training and credentials please don't hesitate to ask.
