"Camilla challenges the narrative of having to suffer to be creative, and looks at producing something artistic from a place of happiness rather than struggle."

–Sheona Mountford, Voice Magazine

In my coaching practice, I work to support people in embracing their creativity. I work with creatives to deepen and develop their creative practice and help them build creative businesses.

My coaching practice draws upon my extensive knowledge of the creative industries, my own career experience and personal creative practice. With these experiences, I have created a comprehensive, empathetic understanding of the emotional journey as well as the practical obstacles and challenges that creatives face as they try to achieve their goals.

With a multi-disciplinary creative background, I feel this gives me a unique position as a creative, coach and leader in the field of creativity, combined with my passion and desire to see the creative industries thrive under a new paradigm that works for the creator first.

My own journey around this has led me to work with therapists using subconscious tools to heal personal wounds. This is something I bring to my own coaching practice to support people beyond simply conscious coaching but to create real movement against any resistance no matter how deep-rooted in their subconscious it may be.

As a coach, I am adaptable, flexible and attentive to client needs with the ability to create new exercises in the moment tailored to the client to create bespoke journeys that help them achieve their goals.

My Mission & Philosophy

“I went out to become a flame-spotter. I made it my job to watch for those bright flames —to watch their course, their struggle, and their agony—and to pull them out… I gave them the pride they did not know they had.” – Atlas Shrugged

Camilla Fellas Arnold was born in Norfolk, UK where she still lives with her husband and two shetland sheepdogs. She grew up by the coast and as an only child, she spent her days with her vivid imagination conjuring up both her own fantastical new worlds and wandering the worlds created by the likes of J.R.R. Tolkien, Garth Nix, C.S.Lewis, Edith Blyton and Jacqueline Wilson. Her mum called her the ‘book monster’ due to the rate she devoured books. When Camilla wasn’t reading, she was writing stories and poetry, drawing, painting, designing clothes, taking photos, designing websites and making graphic art in Jasc Paint Shop Pro.

Her wandering nature and love of creativity led her to study graphic design and photography at college before attending the same university that her grandad trained in signwriting where she studied BA (Hons) Design for Publishing and MA Communication Design where she passed the International Society of Typographic Designers (ISTD) Student Assessment and was shortlisted for the Royal Society of the Arts (RSA) Student Design Awards.

Following university, Camilla embarked on a freelance graphic design career that encompassed everything from specialist art book design, packaging design, primary school websites, children’s toy products and surface pattern design.

After several years acquiring a vast amount of skills, she stopped freelance design work in order to build up a career as a wedding photographer. However, mental health issues arising from the stress of the job lead her to wind down her blossoming photography business to return to freelance design work.

A chance encounter brought Camilla and full circle when she was able to marry up her skills and knowledge to found her own publishing company, Tecassia Publishing and she began to embrace her authentic self and consolidated all of her passions and expertise to realise her own true potential.

Having undertaken the ILM Level 7 Diploma for Executive and Senior Level Coaches and Mentors and as a member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council UK, Camilla now works to support other creatives and visionaries to ignite their spark and unlock their creative power and potential. Working with disruptors and changemakers for the powerful good, she facilities their creative growth, providing support and a platform for them to formulate a plan of action to enact their vision for change. A proud advocate and facilitator for rebel brands, Camilla uses all of her previously gained skills including author services, book publishing, graphic design, illustration and social media management alongside her natural flair for coaching to offer a holistic grassroots journey for anyone who dreams of making a change in the world or a vision to create something better.

Camilla is an RSA Fellow and member of the ISTD and holds herself to a standard of excellence and clarity of communication in all areas. She is a keen advocate for supporting improvements in the creative industries and launched the Creative Power podcast in late 2021.

Success Stories From My Amazing Tribe

The source of my success

James Browne

Although the tools that Camilla introduced me to during the sessions have helped, I honestly feel that the main source of my turn around lies with Camilla herself. She was so easy to talk too, so understanding and non-judgemental. I am so much more confident now and it is all down to Camilla, who I cannot thank enough.
Birthing a new project into the world

Emily Tuck

Camilla is a natural at challenging me to come out of my comfort zones and to grow within myself. She supported me in redefining my goals, and I truly appreciated just how far I had travelled at the end of the journey. As I write this, I have tears in my eyes – she has seen something in what I was trying to achieve in our sessions and supported its birth into the world.
From dream to reality

Ruth Jenkins

Over the weeks my confidence in my writing has grown and the idea of publishing a book is no longer a distant dream but a realistic possibility. Thank you for all your work and support in creating the challenge.
Off the starting block

Costas Stylianou

I've had my idea for a long time. Thanks to Camilla she has helped me with my first part, and gave me a lot of help and ideas so now I can finish and publish my book. She is full of knowledge and suggestions and seems to understand my book very well!
Supportive and encouraging

Katie Gleeson

Camilla was always available if you needed some support or help. I would highly recommend working with Camilla to anyone that wants to have a go at writing their own book. Thank you so much Camilla, you are really knowledgeable and so supportive and just the whole experience was amazing!
Fountain of knowledge

Nikki Turner

Camilla is an absolute fountain of knowledge when it comes to book design, book writing, editing... that it was impossible not to get so much done and not to learn so much from her. I can't wait to work with Camilla more.
