Welcome to your very own personalised Creativity Coach.
I’m here to guide you through your new and exciting writing journeys, getting those ideas onto paper, finding your way through the maze of writers’ blocks, helping you gain insight into your own writing process, gleaning inspiration and figuring out how to get published. It’s all here waiting for you!
Contact me.
Other Services I provide:
Writing for Wellbeing
I’ve worked for MIND for several years, running poetry workshops, and I regularly run poetry healing/inspiration retreats. Again, this would be working from various paintings/installations, and seeing what came up for the participant, and then expressing and framing that in a way that is validating and creative.
Art Inspirations
Creating poems and stories inspired by art is one of my specialties, and my pamphlet, (‘Off the wall’, published by Indigo Dreams, 2016) of poetry is entirely made up of poems based on art. I have facilitated workshops in various art galleries for anyone interested in writing, in how to gain insight into their work and play with new voices, through different ways of looking at art.
Courses tailored to suit you, available online or face to face, one to one or in a group. Please contact for details.
