A trained counsellor and well-being facilitator, my workshops centre on creativity as a tool for connection, resilience, and change. I offer participants a space to reimagine personal and collective narratives.
I am available for collaborative partnerships and commissions
Past partnerships:
In 2025, I partnered with the Vale of Glamorgan Community Libraries to deliver Writing the Planet, a workshop series funded by the UK Government to explore our relationship to climate change in our locality through making and storytelling; and with Lapidus International to deliver a workshop on Reinventing Travel Writing in the Anthropocene.
In 2024, I partnered with the MakerSpace and Penarth Library to deliver Writing the Menopause, a workshop series offering an inclusive space for women to explore experiences and perceptions of their changing bodies; with Creative Cardiff to deliver a Travel Writing Masterclass looking at reinventing the genre for the 21st century; with Reclaim the Frame and Chapter Arts Centre to explore the impact of climate change on small communities, through shared conversations and writing prompts, in response to a viewing of the film Banel & Adama by director Ramata-Toulaye Sy.
In 2023, I partnered with Literature Wales and Penarth Library Makerspace to deliver a series of workshops on Writing Parenthood, and give new parents the tools to co-produce a collection of zines (DIY magazines) in which participants collated their individual and collective responses in images and words (Based on an original idea by Harriet Bradshaw); with Reclaim the Frame and Chapter Arts Centre to explore cultural identity/ dual heritage / multi-identities / language and what happens when we reconnect to a past heritage, through shared conversations and writing prompts, in response to a viewing of the film Past Lives by Celine Song; and with the National Museum Wales (Cardiff) and Cardiff University’s research group Image Works, to deliver a workshop on imagined and introspective travels, in response to the exhibition Sea Horizon/Môrwelion by the artist Gary Fabian Miller.
Facilitation
My facilitation is strongly rooted in my academic research on belonging, identity and the global novel. I believe in the power of collaborative storytelling to rewrite limiting scripts, strengthen communities, and nurture a more sustainable relationship with ourselves and within nature.
From documenting the journey of food from seed to table, to guiding freeform poetry to articulate the experience of victims of violence, to recording the experience of women from motherhood to the menopause, my practice embraces creativity as a holistic well-being tool.

Collaborations
Alongside this community work, I collaborate with artists and activists through conversations and co-created projects that place care, imagination, and belonging at their centre. If this is you, get in touch.
