About me
Who is Nick Catton?
Nick has dedicated the past six years to his coaching practice, guiding clients through profound transformations using fundamental insights born from the Creative Process. His lifelong investment in creating a life driven by desire has made him a sought-after mentor.
Neurodivergent with dreams of pushing cultural boundaries, Nick saw the world wasn’t designed for him and forged his own path. Now, living on a remote island in a semi-off-grid home he built alongside his dog Humboldt, he’s successfully created the freedom he longed for.
Beyond coaching, Nick immerses himself in carpentry, music, rap, poetry, dog training, and writing. His island life is filled with ocean dips, coastal walks, and preparing fresh meals with local produce.
With a long-standing involvement in community projects and an interest in the rewilding movement, Nick is a soulful visionary. He believes that understanding, learning and living the Creative Process can empower us all to create our lives and communities in the ways we envision is possible.

You’ve helped me find a completely new place in my brain. A new way with which to think. I’d figured that after 47 years I knew how I worked. But to discover this whole entire arena, almost like a new universe, like stepping through the wardrobe into Narnia and finding this new land to explore has been fascinating.
To discover that all along there has been this place in my brain that’s just more intuitive has been extraordinarily helpful, almost earth-shaking, to be honest. Never did I see that I would discover this whole entire land from which I can experience the world differently.

I enrolled in Nick’s 8-week course on the Creative Process while working on my master’s thesis for university. I had a lot of challenges before I started this course. I couldn’t really advance as fast as I wanted, I felt blocked and I wasn’t enjoying the process.
I was hesitant before joining because I wasn’t sure if something derived from artistic pursuits would apply to the rigour required for my thesis writing. However, what Nick taught was truly relevant to my process and helped me break through the blocks that I had.
Sharing reflections with the group and engaging in spontaneous exercises made the process enjoyable and productive. This unique approach transformed my thesis experience, and I highly recommend Nick’s work to anyone facing creative challenges. I’m so, so thankful I attended this course. I would definitely recommend trying it out.

Nick’s approach felt both gentle and challenging. Small questions, small goals, that lead to small but consistent progress and momentum. This made it possible for me to consider success as an option, not as an obligation and a burden. Now I look back on how I was approaching things and I can’t help but wonder why in the world it had to be all or nothing.
Now, I look to my desires, understand the Why, and can approach the How and When in an achievable manner. I have a toolkit I can count on. I’m resourced to look at a challenge or project and make it more enjoyable and rewarding, without letting the size of the undertaking define the quality of the effort. I gained a new perspective into my own thinking and after every session, I felt energised. Like a Crusonia tree, it is the kind of gift that keeps on giving.

Working with Nick helped me understand the mechanics of how the meanings we overlay onto reality interfere with creative progress in a way my mind can really hold onto. Unlike so many coaches and consultants I’ve hired in the past, Nick’s non-judgmental, intellectually honest, and philosophically grounded approach made me feel safe and I left the session feeling confidently equipped with a cognitive framework for how to create from a place of free will.
Ultimately, he helped me get out of my own way, connect to my true creative desire, and strategize a logical, practical path toward achieving it. I highly recommend Nick’s work for anyone who is struggling to clarify their creative direction or unblock their progress toward their creative goals.

Coaching with Nick exceeded my expectations. It was a highly personalised experience that guided me through sticking points and gave me many new ways to think about my practices.
Nick really listens closely and provides a flexible but taylored structure to keep you on track. His depth of knowledge and study of the practice of creative living really shows, with psychological awareness and guided practices that help you understand your own relationship with your creative process, as well as its connection to the outside world.

Working with Nick I get a sense I’m working with someone who has mastered the clear seeing of choice and how it relates to the Creative Process and life purpose. Nick is a clear mirror, somebody who walks his talk, does what he says he’s going to do, and continuously shows up for you over and over with relentless kindness, skill, creativity, humour, and warmth!
It’s also quite clear to me that Nick has done an incredible amount of his own work, and has welcomed life and continues to boldly, embrace his own journey as a creative. I am forever grateful for my time learning and growing with him.

At a time of tremendous personal life pressures, Nick helped me stay focused and worked as my anchor back to the reason I originally chose to commence creative coaching sessions: To breathe creativity back into my life, especially when it can be so challenging as it was at the time.
Nick’s coaching helped me stay on track with my creative project and also translated the self-induced counter-productive views on making things work around my already hectic schedule, into small but fitting pockets of creative space, which I still visit on a daily basis and bring a huge smile on my face.
Nick is a very talented professional, always treating the process with respect and personalising it to suit my needs even from the very first session. I would highly recommend this to anyone who feels they need that extra guidance and support in progressing with their creative life, thinking and actions.
