Skills & Interests:
My work is called Writing Time with Kate Pawsey. No double meaning. Writing is spelled writing. I simply provide time and space for people to write in – creatively, reflectively and expressively, and I, Kate Pawsey, am present, holding the structure and the space, while they do so. I work with individuals on a one to one basis. I work with groups. I work virtually via an on line correspondence courses. One of these is tailored for individuals, people wishing to experience W4W with me. The other is designed as structured mentoring for new practitioners of W4W, or for counsellors, psychotherapists or teachers who wish to incorporate W4W into their practice. I love the organic nature of the Writing Time work. I do always prepare a session plan, have a theme in mind, select poems, and writing exercises / prompts that deepen the exploration of the chosen theme. But I am always alert to the arrival of a new, relevant and potent nuance creeping in to proceedings. I often get the precise angle on some wording etc the morning of the event – in the shower or while 'listening' to something my partner is saying over breakfast... Because of my masters research I retain an ongoing interest in the link between play and creative writing. This creeps into all I do, in a more or less subtle way. My interests, other than words, are music, walking, gardening and doing nothing.
