About Me

I’m Amarachi Rachel Nwokoro, a London-based creative mentor and artist-facilitator. You can call me Ama.

I help disabled, neurodivergent, and creative professionals navigate work, institutions, and complex environments with clarity and confidence.

My work draws on over a decade of experience designing and delivering inclusive, participatory programmes across art, health, and cultural spaces, alongside my practice as a poet, performer, and interdisciplinary artist. While I have many hats, my current focus is creative mentoring - helping individuals and teams connect to their values, vision, and creative potential.

How I Work

I bring empathy, lived experience, and a creative lens to every session. I guide individuals to tap into their inner resources, reflect deeply, and make grounded choices that enhance both their work and personal wellbeing. Sessions are 1:1 and tailored to your goals.
