A coach who knows this industry from the inside
Emma Dobinson has spent 25+ years leading global TV, film and media productions - managing teams, running programmes and working across cultures and continents. She's since brought that experience into coaching and facilitation work for organisations including NFTS, Film London, Amazon, University of Westminster and ScreenSkills, alongside one-to-one coaching for producers, directors, editors and freelancers across the industry
She founded Creative Reset because she kept seeing the same pattern - brilliant professionals losing their confidence, their direction and their joy in work that had once meant everything. She wanted to build a space where that could change - not by fixing what's broken, but by restoring what's already there.
Whether you're an individual at a crossroads or an organisation that wants to genuinely support its people, Creative Reset offers grounded, practical coaching and facilitation that makes a real difference.
Support that meets you where you are
FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FREELANCERS: Whether you are feeling stuck, uncertain about your next step or simply ready for a change - one-to-one coaching gives you the space, the tools and the honest support to move forward with confidence.
FOR COMPANIES AND ORGANISATIONS: For organisations that want to retain their best people, support their middle managers and build a culture where creative talent genuinely thrives - Creative Reset offers coaching and programmes that create lasting change.
What people tend to walk away with
Every conversation is different, but people typically leave sessions with things like:
Renewed clarity on their next step
Practical tools they can use immediately
An honest outside perspective on a situation they've been too close to
Simply a clearer hear
The Discovery Chat
A free, no-pressure Zoom conversation. This is a chance to talk through what is going on, what you are hoping to change and whether coaching with Creative Reset is the right fit. No obligation - just an honest conversation to see if there is a good match.
A Tailored Plan (individual or team-focused)
If it feels right to work together, a coaching programme is designed around your specific goals and situation. No generic templates - just a plan that is genuinely yours.
Practical, Focussed Sessions
Each session builds on the last - honest, careful and at your pace. Practical tools and reflections to carry forward are included between calls, so the work continues beyond the conversation.
Review & Reset
Regular check-ins on what is shifting, what is working and where to go next. Because the goal is not just a better week - it is lasting, meaningful change.

Permission
‘I don’t need permission to pursue what I truly want’
I had a wonderful coaching experience with Emma! She challenged me in the best way and asked thoughtful questions that really made me reflect on what I want in my career. One of the biggest takeaways she reinforced for me is that I don’t need permission to pursue what I truly want. She also brought great exercises that helped clarify my priorities and what matters most to me professionally. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, impactful career coaching!

Leadership Growth
‘Her encouragement gave me the courage to step forward as a leader’
Emma is a fantastic coach who quickly built a trusting relationship, which was key to our productive sessions. She's an excellent listener and truly understood the challenges I was facing.
Her thoughtful encouragement and praise helped boost my confidence, and her motivation gave me the courage to take the right steps forward.
