Hi - I’m Clare McGinn.
I’m a senior coach, media professional, and founder of my own creative business. Here’s what matters:
I understand the pressure you’re under, because I’m in it too.
I spent years leading award-winning work for BBC Radio 4, BBC Sounds, and the World Service - managing teams, pitching ideas, delivering big projects, navigating change, and staying steady when the ground kept shifting.
Today, I coach talented, experienced, and capable individuals who often feel exhausted, stuck, overwhelmed, or quietly questioning: Is this sustainable?
Modern creative work is relentless, with new platforms, new demands, shrinking budgets, and changing expectations - all while facing the constant need to perform.
I’m offering you the space to reset and move forward with clarity. This isn’t fluffy or vague; it’s about real strategies, real decisions, and real action.
I’m ICF-aligned, accredited through Kingstown College (Dublin), and a Forward Institute Fellow in ethical leadership.
All one-to-one coaching sessions are confidential and adhere to ICF ethical standards.
Sessions are available online or in person in Belfast.
I provide one-to-one coaching tailored for creatives, producers, business leaders, and independent professionals who seek clearer thinking, improved decision-making, and more sustainable work practices.
Some clients approach me with a specific challenge to address, while others are navigating larger transitions—such as career changes, leadership shifts, creative reinventions, or the gradual realization that traditional work methods are no longer effective.
My coaching approach is practical, reflective, and focused on delivering tangible outcomes. You won’t just gain insights; you’ll leave with actionable decisions, specific steps, and a clear plan to advance your goals.
**Baseline Coaching Rate**
The baseline rate for my coaching services is £2.50 per minute, with a minimum session duration of 45 minutes. The packages I offer are designed to include not only the session time but also the thoughtful preparation, ongoing support, and follow-up that are essential for effective coaching.
**A Note on Pricing**
If you’ve ever engaged with a personal trainer, therapist, or nutritionist, you’ll recognize this coaching model: it’s personalized, one-to-one time. You’re investing in dedicated attention, expertise, and a structured process—rather than receiving generic advice.
Coaching provides you with a qualified, impartial thinking partner who is genuinely committed to helping you progress with clarity and confidence.

Select the program that aligns with the type of change you wish to achieve.
If you seek clarity on a specific priority (and are personally funding your coaching), begin with the Baseline Reset.
For those looking to shift behavior patterns while safeguarding focus, energy, and confidence, the Ascent program is the right choice.
If you're going through a more significant transition—whether in leadership, business, or creative direction—the Summit program provides the consistency and depth necessary to embed lasting change over time.
A focused reset for self-funded creatives and independents. Baseline Reset is specifically designed for individuals who are managing their own coaching expenses: freelancers, early-stage founders, and creative professionals seeking clarity on a single priority without a lengthy commitment. This program serves as an excellent starting point for those new to coaching or wanting to evaluate the fit before committing to a longer package. What’s included: 1 × 75-minute deep-dive session, 2 × 45-minute follow-up sessions over three weeks, brief email check-ins between sessions (if needed), and a short written summary of key insights and next steps. Package fee: £495.
Transforming how you work, lead, and present yourself. Ascent is designed for individuals looking to change their patterns, rather than just making a single decision: senior creatives, producers, managers, freelancers, and small-business owners. We examine your habits, pressure points, and choices, then develop practical strategies to safeguard your focus, confidence, and energy, ensuring that your work remains sustainable.
What’s included:
1 × 90-minute kickoff session
5 × 50-minute coaching sessions (weekly or fortnightly)
Light email support between sessions for updates or quick questions.
Package Fee: £895
Support through a larger creative or career transition is essential for those looking to make significant changes. Summit is designed for individuals experiencing bigger shifts such as changing direction, reshaping a business, stepping into a new leadership role, or navigating a major creative transition. Over the course of three months, I will serve as your thinking partner, guiding you as you test ideas, make decisions, and embed changes—ensuring this is not just a one-off burst of motivation. Payment options can be made in instalments, and this package is often funded or part-funded by employers.
What’s included:
1 × 90-minute kickoff session
11 × 50-minute coaching sessions over three months
Email check-ins between sessions when helpful.
Fee: Starting at £1,895
I design and facilitate positive coaching-led workshops tailored for teams in broadcasting, digital, charities, and the arts. These workshops are crafted to enhance collaboration, improve how you work together, and elevate what you deliver.
Each session combines clear facilitation, practical tools, and honest conversation, ensuring a productive environment.
Workshops are most effective with 6–12 participants, while smaller sessions (4–6) allow for deeper coaching and personalized attention.
For larger groups, we can arrange a more structured format to accommodate everyone.
The goal is straightforward: to foster better communication, sharper decision-making, and stronger follow-through—delivering results that truly matter to the business, rather than just providing a pleasant experience.
Sessions can focus on key areas such as:
- collaboration and feedback
- resilience, workload, and pressure points
- pitching, presenting, and influencing
- leading through change
Each workshop is customized to align with your specific goals and is designed to create momentum.
Teams depart with a shared understanding, clearer workflows, and agreed-upon next steps, avoiding vague intentions.
Pricing varies based on the scope, group size, and preparation, with half-day workshops starting at £1,150.
If you’re considering coaching, a great first step is to have a brief conversation to explore what you’re currently working through and identify which coaching programme is the best fit for you. Reach out to arrange an initial call.
