Emma Carlin-Marshall

Experience

I’m a PTUK registered Play and Creative arts Therapist, working with children, families and other stakeholders. I use bibliotherapy as part of my day job.

I am also a therapeutic writing for women facilitator.

I have written creatively and reflectively from a young age, including life writing, journals, prose poetry and playwriting.

In 2010, I was commissioned to write a life writing monologue for The Post Theatre Collective in Helsinki Finland (formely The European Theatre Collective). This was performed as part of the production Emigrant Hotel in Helsinki in 2010.
