Poetry Therapy
Writing for Well-being
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 group, prior to lockdown, met at various locations in Central London. We used 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.
