Poetry Therapy & Creative Writing
I have always kept a journal, and turned to writing and poetry in times of difficulty. The power of words and images have brought me solace, relieved confusion and helped me feel less alone. The author Jeanette Winterson has described fiction and poetry as 'medicines' which can help us heal and discover our own truth. Reading and writing poetry, journaling and expressive writing can all be enormously helpful in supporting us through difficult times and enabling us to listen to our own wisdom and to change. Click on the PDF image below to read 'The Journey', a poem often used in poetry therapy to explore many themes about our relationship to self and others. I use a range of expressive writing tools with clients who wish to explore this healing art form as a part of their own journey.
I am a Certified Applied Poetry Therapist ( International Federation for Biblio/Poetry Therapy.) and run a variety of ongoing personal and professional development groups using poetry therapy and expressive/reflective writing. If you are interested and want to find out more about this powerful method of personal development please get in touch.
