What People Say
Ally C
"The variety of topics - even poetry I am starting to appreciate now - the other class mates, we got on so well and the fact that I now write almost daily, taking my A5 notebook with me everywhere. Thank You!"
S Young
"It has given me the courage to try and write short stories. It was great to have limited time in which you had to come up with the goods".
M Smith
"The course content was well thought out, planned and presented. It was pitched at the right level and was very interesting. I didn't want it to end!”

Get a taste and time to try a variety of different writing whilst appreciating the art of published writers.

Writing for Therapy
Combining years of experience in coaching, utilising NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) this course allows participants to learn new ways to cope with modern day life whilst being in the writing moment. Don't worry about spelling or grammar it is the act of writing that counts and how it can slow or change thoughts in a good way. Contact me for more info and a free introductory session

​
As for me, my mission is to help others find that creative spirit within themselves. Quite simply if you can solve a problem, you can write. I have written intermittently from an early age, when time allowed, with a demanding career, utilising my creative mind more in the design of creative workshops. ​In 2020 I completed my Hons Degree in Creative Writing (and asked myself what am I waiting for?) and started the next chapter in my life (excuse the pun!). I absolutely love it!
