If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or knocked by self-doubt in your writing life, you’re not alone.
Maybe your confidence has taken a hit. Maybe your inner critic is getting louder. Maybe you’re procrastinating, avoiding your writing, or struggling to find motivation. Or perhaps you’re overwhelmed by everything you feel you “should” be doing and don’t know where to start.
Whether you’re struggling to finish your book, battling imposter syndrome, feeling paralysed by visibility or marketing, or simply feeling lost in the writing process, these moments happen to all writers — and you don’t have to work through them on your own.
Our Mindset & Confidence Surgeries are free 20-minute micro-coaching sessions designed to help authors get unstuck, regain clarity, and move forward with confidence.
Hosted by Kelly Weekes, these focused sessions give you space to talk through whatever challenge you’re facing right now. Together, you’ll start unpacking the issue and identify practical, supportive next steps you can take immediately.
Sometimes one supportive conversation is enough to unlock momentum again. You’ll leave feeling clearer, calmer, and more able to take your next step forward.
Kelly is an ICF accredited coach, with extensive publishing experience from her time at Hodder & Stoughton and HarperCollins.
She understands the pressures, doubts, and challenges writers face, and creates a supportive, encouraging space where you’ll feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported.
If you wish to come along please book yourself a time slot via this spreadsheet. Then email Kelly at kelly@kellyweekes.co.uk with a few sentences about the challenges you'd like to discuss. She'll send you a Zoom link for your meeting.
