As you rush through the set to the director’s office at 8 am to go over the daily schedule, you feel as if you’re under siege. You’ve been there since 7am and left at midnight.

An actor is walking towards you complaining about a camera man’s attitude. They want to know whether you can have a word with them.

Another actor is experiencing emotional fatigue and has not shown up on set for the third day in a row. You’re trying to figure out how to re-organise the shoot and keep to the production schedule.

 ’I can’t bl**dy split myself in half” , you swear under your breath. You can literally feel your blood pressure going through the roof.

    What if there was a designated person on -set who could lift some of that responsibility off your shoulders? 

• A performance and wellbeing coach who leads the entire set through daily group wellbeing sessions including grounding and self-soothing techniques. This minimises emotional exhaustion and inconsistent performances and consequent costly reshoots and production delays.

• That person is also a highly skilled and accredited trauma psychotherapist who works 1-1 with actors to provide tailor-made coaching and therapy when they are experiencing emotional shut down due to be triggered by a scene.

• A performance and wellbeing coach who can ensure actors are prepared for tough scenes and who help them de-role after the scene. This means you keep your production on schedule as actors are focussed and present.

• A person who is a skilled and highly experienced group therapist who can help with on-set dynamics and can mediate conflicts. This lifts on-set morale and focus. It also foster a sense of security on-set which means actors feel safe enough to take creative risks and give enhanced performances.

• Having this designated person gives your production the edge. You stand out in the industry for having ethical production standards and taking good care of actors. This gives you a sense of pride but you also know it actually makes financial sense.

You breathe a huge sigh of relief and get on with the job of producing. A job that you adore and take incredibly seriously and that you can now give your best

 Here I am.

You love your job.You love the excitement and energy of being on set.

You love doing work that aligns with your values of making the film, TV and theatre industry safer for actors.

You’re 100% committed to providing the best possible care for the wellbeing and safety of your actors.

You’re passionate about empowering actors to work in creative environments where they thrive.
You get such a sense of satisfaction when you see actors doing really good work because they feel safe and supported.

Yet you know from your own past painful experiences as an actor how shitty the film industry can be.

You know what it’s like to come home from a day on set feeling off and shaky. As if your personal wellbeing didn’t matter and your boundaries were trodden all over.

And yet at times you can’t help feeling some of your actors need something more.

Whilst you focus on the choreography and boundaries to ensure safety, they need additional psychological tools to feel safe.  

Even though you are trauma-informed and trained, some of your actors need help distinguishing their emotions from their characters emotions, especially when their trauma gets triggered.

You recognise they need an experienced therapist to help them process these difficult emotions.

Here is how I can partner with you to:

• Provide a safe psychological container before, during, and after scenes.

• Support actors in processing emotions so they don’t carry distress home.

• 
Help actors distinguish personal emotions from character emotions to avoid emotional entanglement.

• Guide actors through grounding and emotional separation techniques post-scene.

• 
Offer one-on-one support to help actors release residual tension or discomfort.

• Help productions create post-scene well-being protocols so actors feel supported beyond the moment of filming.

I aim to fill the gap between intimacy coordination and mental resilience coaching.
I works alongside intimacy coordinators to create a fully supportive environment.
I bring a therapeutic yet performance-focused perspective to ensure actors can do their best work without emotional cost.
