Supporting wellbeing, confidence, and self-expression through structured creative writing
The Healing Through Creative Writing workshops offer a practical, inclusive approach to wellbeing and personal development using guided creative writing exercises. They provide a safe, non-judgemental space for participants to reflect, express themselves, and build confidence — with no previous writing experience required.
These workshops are suitable for corporate organisations, prisons and rehabilitation settings, and educational establishments, and can be adapted to meet the needs of different groups and environments.
What participants gain
Participants are gently supported to:
- Express thoughts and emotions safely through writing
- Build confidence and self-belief
- Improve emotional awareness and communication
- Engage in reflection without pressure or forced disclosure
- Create at least one short story and/or poem as a tangible outcome
Sharing work is always optional. The focus is on process, not performance.
Workshop approach
The workshops are based on the principles of my book: A Practical Guide to Healing Through Creative Writing, and use:
- Structured, accessible writing prompts
- Reflective and well-being-focused exercises
- Person-aware, inclusive facilitation
- Clear boundaries and participant choice
Sessions are practical, supportive, and designed to be accessible across a wide range of abilities and experiences.
