Why I Started

Creative Reset

I am Emma Dobinson, a Professional and Personal Growth Coach with over 25 years of global experience in the media industry, across production, education and development. In this time I saw the same challenges again and again:

  • For individuals: brilliant creatives burning out, losing confidence, or feeling stuck in an industry that moves too fast.

  • For organisations: talented teams losing morale, freelancers holding back ideas, leaders struggling to support people under pressure.

I founded Creative Reset to change that.

Who I Am

  • Accredited coach with Catalyst14 and the European Mentoring & Coaching Council.

  • Media professional with deep experience in production, leadership and training.

  • Neurodivergent thinker passionate about inclusion, resilience and wellbeing.

I understand the unique pressures of creative industries because I’ve lived them - and I know how to help reset both individuals and teams so they can thrive.

What Makes Creative Reset Different

  • Industry insight – 25 years inside media means I know the pressures, language and culture.

  • Inclusive approach – a focus on supporting diverse and neurodivergent talent.

  • Practical outcomes – not just theory, but visible changes in confidence, wellbeing and performance.

Who We Work With

  • Individuals – freelancers, leaders and creatives who want clarity, resilience and confidence.

  • Organisations – production companies, broadcasters and creative businesses that need stronger teams, healthier cultures and better retention.

Our Mission

To rewire the way media supports its people - creating workplaces where creativity, wellbeing and collaboration go hand in hand.
