I draw on all my experiences as an educator, artist, organisation founder/leader, researcher, coach and consultant to offer a creative space, where individuals and groups can challenge existing knowledge and embrace new perspectives. I do this with creative, critical and arts based methods. By fostering aesthetic experiences with individuals and groups I aim to honour individual ways of thinking, while supporting the formulation of deep, collective visions.
Organisations and people I've worked with include: See Me Play, The Line, Arts in Ramsgate, Neurodivergent Friends Thanet, Essex Youth Services, Quench Gallery, Dan Scott, Everyday Plastic, University of Illinois, Kings College London, Goldsmiths University, NSEAD, Sketchbook Circle, Institute of Education
Feedback:
"Working with Ollie has been transformative for us at NDFT. As a fully neurodivergent team building something with no real blueprint, we had the skills and drive but were getting stuck on how to turn that into clear, trusting ways of working.
Ollie created a space where we could see what each of us brings, understand how our differences fit together, and design ways of collaborating that work for our brains. He never arrived with a formula or imposed solutions and instead held the space, asked the right questions, and guided us to uncover our own answers.
His creative and flexible approach was exactly what we needed. Standard methods rarely fit a team like ours, and our needs shift as we work. Ollie stayed responsive and able to shift things around smoothly and in a supportive way, to whatever surfaced. He brought inventive exercises and tools that helped us cut through noise, get to the essence of things, and explore ideas in a playful, low-pressure way, and it's inspiring us to help us think differently in how we run NDFT, and how to find our own ways.
One of the most powerful moments came when we realised, through Ollie’s facilitation, that many of the “conflicts” we felt were actually shared hopes expressed in different languages. That insight changed how we listen and move forward together.
We’ve come out of this process with stronger trust, sharper focus, and practical methods we’ll keep using. If you need someone who can hold complex, human work with depth, clarity, and creativity, and help you find solutions that truly belong to you, Ollie is absolutely exceptional."
"We have worked with Ollie over several months. Ollie has really helped us to open up our thinking, reflect and plan forward. Ollie spent time really listening to us and understanding our organisation, and then helped us to implement systems, strategies and ways of working that reflect our values as a Neurodivergent-affirming organisation, as well as our team’s needs. These kind of spaces to think as an organisation are too rare, and it has been blessing and a huge support to have Ollie's thoughtful, creative and responsive guidance when we needed it most."
"Working with Ollie has helped us so much. It feels extremely rare to find accessible structural support that isn’t grossly ableist. Ollie spent time really listening to us and understanding our organisation, and then helped us design neurodivergent-affirming governance systems and strategies that work for us. It’s exactly what we needed!"
"Ollie’s warm and open approach was invaluable in helping me work through my priorities regarding ways to move forward in my career. His approach empowered me to find value in my work, to allow this value to lift my expectations for the future, and to help me formulate concrete plans."
"Working with Ollie was of great support both personally and organisationally - he held the space for us in a generous, compassionate and safe way, designing sessions which allowed us to process through a lot and come out with some tangible outcomes for the future of us individually and collectively.” Holly Sutcliffe
