Event Description
This standalone workshop is an invitation to accept and welcome all parts of yourself – the valued parts, the neutral parts, and the parts you find most challenging.
Informed by Internal Family Systems and Compassion Focused Therapy, we’ll move through two practices together. First, a guided lovingkindness meditation – cultivating warmth towards different aspects of yourself. Then, compassionate two-pen dialogue – tuning in to what your body needs, and offering space to the parts that feel loud through pain or discomfort, or that have quietly grown silent.
An invitation to soften, and let your embodied wisdom guide you.

What is therapeutic writing?
No creative writing experience necessary. It is not about grammar, spelling or the perfect sentence.
It is about expressing the self (whoever the self is at that moment) through creative writing in an encouraging and supportive environment.
We may share our writing. And, there is no obligation to share. Everything is confidential.
I offer creative writing prompts and a poem to facilitate:
– Reflection
– Grounding in the moment
– Writing freely.

Look forward to writing with you!
You’ve had a crazy week or you’re preparing for a busy one, you might be craving a moment of calm. My Weekend Reset workshop in The Wellness Writing Room offers you a safe place to reflect and recharge. Across 90 nourishing minutes, I’ll guide you through therapeutic creative writing exercises, with time for optional sharing, active listening, reflection and gentle discussion, all held within a supportive, non‑judgemental online writing room.
This workshop isn’t about learning to “be a writer”. It’s about using writing as a tool for grounding, clarity and emotional well-being. You don’t need experience, confidence or perfect grammar. I simply invite you to bring a pen and paper (or a laptop if it’s your preference) and a willingness to explore what emerges when you give yourself time to write.
In my Weekend Reset, you will experience:
• a guided visualisation, mindfulness or breathing exercise to help you settle and centre
• therapeutic writing exercises and prompts designed to support your well-being
• spacious moments for reflection, discussion and optional sharing
• how writing can gently unlock insight, ease and self‑connection
So why not join me for my Weekend Reset in The Wellness Writing Room, to pause, reflect and reconnect with yourself, as well as connecting with others?
