Meet Sophie Carefull (she/her)
Sophie is a Certified Self-belief Coach for introverted creative business owners and a mentor for branding photographers. She’s also a speaker on self-doubt and self-belief.
About Sophie
Sophie’s self-employed journey began in 2015 when she became a wedding photographer, before specialising in personal branding photography and working with hundreds of business owners all over the UK (plus a few in Europe!).
In 2020, she trained as a professional coach and now supports her clients to develop long-lasting self-belief so they can grow their business in the ways they truly want to, with less overwhelm and more joy.
Sophie lives in Bristol with her husband Sam and their adopted dog Otis. She’s an introvert with a love for second-hand fashion, colourful interiors and a good old nostalgic sitcom.
Getting clear on what you want from your life and business (not just what you think you’re allowed)
Trusting in your own abilities and moving past "imposter syndrome" (ask me why I don't personally call it a syndrome)
Cultivating confidence in your own way, at your own pace (without faking it 'til you make it, or magically becoming an extrovert)
Understanding your thoughts and behaviours so you can stop getting stuck in frustrating cycles
Developing a personalised toolkit to navigate self-doubt in any situation
Nurturing your self-trust so you can make decisions with less overthinking and more ease
Overcoming people-pleasing tendencies so you can run your business in a way that’s truly sustainable for you
Being a whole lot kinder to yourself, even after a lifetime of beating yourself up
What Sophie can help you with:
You’re an introverted or sensitive human (and typical extrovert-focused strategies aren’t doing it for you).
You’re a creative business owner such as a self-employed writer, illustrator or web designer. And of course Sophie is perfect for you if you’re a photographer who’s looking for a business mentor.
You’re brilliant at the behind-the-scenes stuff but shy away from being visible, even though you know it’d help you get clients.
This will be a good match if:
