CREATIVE THERAPEUTIC WRITING

WRITING SESSIONS

One-to-One Sessions

Supervision Sessions

I think of three qualities we all offer in our work with others: our particular set of skills ~ our presence as another human-being ~ our lived-life experience

Writing and supervision both work with the principle of process. Nothing in life is altogether fixed. Work issues may be unpacked as we find new understanding and insights. My aim is to listen with care and voice my responses.

We'll take the concept of the open conversation to the page with our writing. The Open Conversation as described In Love With Supervision* (Robin and Joan Shohet) is a very particular type of conversation. An open approach means we may express our ideas free of perceived constraints of correct ways of thinking.

Working with me you may take the opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings as a practitioner through conversation and imaginative writing.

Working with me will give you a safe place to explore both your imaginative and inner emotional landscape through the written word.

I have worked with a wide variety of people: academics and writers, teachers and practitioners of different modalities, students including post-graduate and those working towards a PhD. And individuals who are drawn to write, or maybe feel stuck and frustrated.

If you are looking for a critique of your project, then I am not the right person. But I often explore how written projects (for example material for a book) might be approached more fully. And I’ve helped people write speeches they need to give.

I’ve found that a two hour slot with a ten minute break in the middle works really well for my clients. This gives a relaxed time to connect with yourself and settle into the session.

Some tricky issues which come up in supervision: boundaries, responsibilities, authority, endings, money transactions. Greater understanding of projection, transference and counter-transference.
