Poetry Therapy

Writing for Health and Wellbeing

Poetry therapy, sometimes called therapeutic writing or writing therapy are all intended to reflect the interactive use of literature and/ or writing to promote growth and healing.

Poems can be fantastic vehicles for change. They can offer valuable personal insights and help to increase resilience and self-confidence.

Our Writing Coffee and Conversation meets at various locations in Central London. We use the venues to start us off and inspire our writing. At Tate Britain, we used paintings from 1600-1800's as a springboard for writing and conversation.

Let The Poem Be A Hand Upon Your Shoulder Workshops

I am currently facilitating a series of online poetry therapy workshops that can help you to explore feelings, and build your resilience as you connect with others in these challenging times.

We use carefully selected poems as a springboard for writing, reflection and dialogue. For bookings and further information, see below.

Visit my past workshops page for a flavour of the workshops, I have facilitated.

I am a short course tutor at City Lit an adult education college and Mary Ward Centre, both in Central London teaching poetry therapy and therapeutic writing courses.

My hope is to introduce this self-sustaining tool to all communities, including professionals and people who love writing, and journalling.

My work in schools involves, working with young people. I facilitate a writing for wellbeing programme that uses creative and self- reflective writing to help students develop their self-esteem, build confidence and to support their social and emotional needs.
