Writing Therapy 
Do you want to:
Rediscover your creativity and motivation?
Gain fresh perspectives ?
Boost your confidence and self esteem?
Writing therapy or journal therapy is a form of expressive therapy that uses the act of writing down your thoughts, feelings into words and processing them.
It is based on the belief that recording memories, concerns and problems can help, promote health and well being and lead to self discovery and personal growth.
Health Benefits
Pennebaker, a professor in the Department of Psychology at The University of Texas at Austin and author of several books, including “Opening Up” and “Writing to Heal,” is a pioneer in the study of using expressive writing as a route to healing.
His research has shown that writing about stressful and traumatic events:
- Bolster your immune system
- Ease stress and depression
- Recover more successfully from traumatic events
- Enhance your overall well-being
Experience
I have facilitated therapeutic journal writing worshops and creative writing workshops for personal development and courses for various groups in particular, with adults and young people. I have covered a wide range of issues: relationship difficulties, confidence building, stress management, loss and change, bereavement, depression and creative writing.
