Clients are Saying…
“I explored working with Cassie when I was feeling blocked around my writing and how to communicate my offerings for my business. I admired and resonated with Cassie’s style of writing, and she has truly been alongside me on this journey of finding my voice and understanding my strengths.
The sessions are whatever you need them to be – a sounding board, an exploration, or a guiding hand. The letters she sends after calls are a wonderful reminder of our conversation, sprinkled with further insights that resonate deeply on an emotional level. The WhatsApp support has also been an unexpected bonus to talk ideas out loud.
After many years of exploring this work with PR advisors, marketers, and social media specialists, no one else has really understood my heart-led values like Cassie. It feels so crucial to feel truly seen and understood.”
“I feel so grateful to have found Cassie. She really is a wealth of knowledge, and it shines through from the moment you begin your session with her. She’s not only a beaming ray of sunshine, but she is a deep listener and a natural problem solver. I admired Cassie’s efficiency, and how much we managed to pack into a session.
The follow-up notes I received from Cassie were exemplary, a pure testament to how deeply she had listened to me, with several structured and achievable goals gently set in place. Thank you Cassie, you are clearly where you are meant to be, and such a valued and needed service to the creative community.”

“Cassie’s mentorship has been a wonderful experience for me. Her ability to understand creatives and know exactly what I needed to hear, and how I needed to hear it, was remarkable. Cassie communicated with me in such a kind and insightful manner that it allowed me to understand not only where I am but also to recognise paths and possibilities I couldn’t see on my own.
With her guidance, I overcame mental blocks and began to believe in the potential I had previously struggled to accept. Thanks to Cassie, I feel motivated to pursue my creative ambitions with renewed confidence and am aware of more paths to success than I had previously considered.“

Want to know how we can work together?
“I really like this narrative approach – questioning assumptions and finding patterns in my stories that I hadn’t noticed before is so satisfying and thought-provoking. Cassie’s style naturally suits this framework. She opens up new pathways of exploration and gently challenges the things we might be avoiding or not noticing, helping you step out of your comfort zone in a way that feels nicely held.
Through our work, I feel so much more content and better about myself – I’m able to reframe guilt, cultivate self-compassion, and feel more at ease about the choices I’ve made. It’s an invitation to explore your stories, discover hidden links between your experiences, and trigger meaningful next steps.”
“Cassie’s mentorship has been integral to my growth, both on an individual and professional level. She is an excellent listener with a keen ability to see your highest potential and help nurture your progress in a constructive and effective way.
The tools and exercises that Cassie uses to support this process yield so much insight – and her perspective alone is worth its weight in gold given the storied life she’s led. I don’t hesitate to contact Cassie for guidance on any professional or personal issue I’m facing, and I’d recommend the same to anyone!”

“I gained so much clarity, and by the end of our call I was more than ready to tackle some of the actions we discussed. My workload suddenly feels lighter because I’m less overwhelmed and have a clear view of my priorities. Sometimes, we just need that sounding board to help us move from A to B, and break what feels like a “big thing” down into smaller, more manageable chunks.
I also loved the follow-up email you shared after our mentoring session and can’t wait to tune into the Kickstarter resources over the coming days.”

“I had a great mentoring session with Cassie at the end of last year. Cassie helped me recognise where my work overwhelm was stemming from, while sharing invaluable tips and business-focused emotional support that I really needed at the time.
I came away from the call feeling lighter (after realising I was putting unnecessary deadlines and pressure on myself), proud of what I had achieved that year, and clear-minded about what I wanted out of 2024.“

“ Working with Cassie has been so incredibly helpful in allowing myself to see the areas in my business that needed to be seen, in order to share my offerings with confidence and authenticity.
An incredible cheerleader, intuitive guide and patient listener, always able to spare time to connect when I needed her most. I’m so grateful for our paths crossing, Cassie, and I’m sure we will connect again in the not too distant future.”

Unsure what creative mentoring is?
“Cassie’s mentorship is excellent. She understood what I needed and what I needed to hear and communicated with me in a gentle way, allowing me to see paths and possibilities that I couldn’t see at that moment or that I struggled to accept as possible. It felt like a little weight was lifted and I feel freer to seek what I need moving forward now.
The notes, resources, and practical tools Cassie sent me are also of immense value and I know I will go back to them whenever I need them.”

“Cassie did a tremendous job with holding space for me while I shared and talked through my ideas. It was really helpful to my process.
She is very insightful and has a lot of great tips. She also gave me the validation and encouragement I needed to trust myself and my process more. Thank you so much!”

“Cassie is a warm, encouraging and thoughtful creative coach. She is compassionate when listening to creative blocks, and provides a range of ideas about how to overcome them. Cassie truly makes you feel cared about and deeply seen as a creative – and she is the best cheerleader when you don’t feel great about your creative journey. Cassie has a natural gift for celebrating your wins and encouraging you to move through your creative challenges.
If you are feeling stuck, Cassie will help you get back on track and see the ways you are already doing far better than you might think! I absolutely recommend having a session with her to gain a fresh, uplifting perspective on the magic you bring to the world!“

“Shout out to Cassie Wilkins. This year, I wanted my words to be published in my favourite magazines. While I feel somewhat confident in my writing skills, my pitching skills were next to nothing. It’s like I was having to write a pitch in a foreign language, and my confidence in getting one accepted was nil.
Cue Cassie. She helped me understand the ins and outs of crafting a pitch that’s more likely to get accepted. She also helped me take my ideas and work them into concepts that still felt authentically me, but might suit the publication better. I finally had the confidence to write my first pitch to Frankie magazine, and it got accepted! I don’t think I would have managed it without her help. Now to just get writing…
Thank you, Cassie, I’m still riding high off our call and can’t wait to work with you again!”

Want to be kept up to date about my newest offers and services?
“Cassie’s mentoring honestly felt like having a conversation with a friend and I really appreciated that. She was kind & compassionate and I felt heard, seen, and respected on my journey so far. She went above & beyond to deliver an excellent service. She is so full of wisdom and I adore the nuance & flexibility she offers to each situation.
I LOVED our time together! I also really appreciated working with another neurodivergent person who can understand all the ways our minds are different and provide a different level of support. I also deeply appreciate the time it took for her to write the follow-up email and also compile those notes. They were deeply insightful and had so much knowledge in the grooves and angles, super meaty!!”
Ocean – Artist, UK
“Cassie did such a wonderful job. I truly appreciate all the communication, how much she got to know me, and all of the advice and wonderful resources she shared! I definitely recommend her for anyone who needs support on their creative journey!
I wanted help with my query letter and advice on summarizing/pitching my story and sending it out to agents. I received a lot of good resources along with clarity and direction of where to go with my writing and the path of getting my novel out into the world!
It was also really helpful to get support with some of the more difficult parts of the writing process. It felt great to receive guidance and advice on those things, since they often feel stressful and shut down a lot of my desire to get my writing out into the world. All the reassurance, advice, and support was so valuable!”

Cassie offers such a supportive and friendly space to engage with other creatives, and her thoughtful writing prompts and guidance inspires me to expand my thinking and creative process. It has also been such a great way to build community and discover new perspectives from others at home and overseas.

Cassie makes me feel at ease and at home right away. Her circles offer a wonderful platform to connect with my little inner voice, which meets me in the writing space and then, with joy, goes on a journey with Cassie’s well-curated prompts.
Katharina – London, UK
I love all your questions – and it’s funny that I always rush past these kind of things (no time!) but the answer to what I’d do if I could stop the clock was clear and instant: finish my book! How very silly (and very human) that I pretend I don’t have time to write.
Susannah – London, UK
Such a lovely writing circle with Cassie Wilkins this week. The questions sparked a lot for me…two in particular…which reminded me that I could change course for the remainder of the year. We get to choose! After our call this week, I was suddenly back in my body again and realised I could just let stuff go that isn’t for me in this season of life and work. Looking forward to your co-writing calls. The co-creating ones have been so lovely and helpful! That sense of accountability really works for me. I’m also forever inspired by your tenacity and sense of adventure!
Sarah – Scotland, UK
“I enjoyed the class very much. You have such a passion for writing and it exuded all over the workshop. The environment was lovely and the energy was palpable. I love seeing the contrasts in each of us and how we are all unique. The workshop was great, and I was blown out of the water in a good way. The little threads of writing exercises were such a pleasure too”

Writing Testimonials
“I was fortunate enough to work with Cassie in my role as the Editor of Editorial at Viator for several years. In that time, she became one of my most trusted and reliable freelance writers, who always turned in well-researched, voice-y, and engaging copy–and on time, no less! She has a particular knack for breaking down logistically complex topics into digestible content, one that would make her an asset for any editorial team, and I highly recommend working with her.”

“You’re a rare gem. You take feedback on like a bloody champion, and I honestly mean it when I say you are a damn pleasure to work with.”
