Creative & Psychoeducational Workshops at Yours Therapy

Explore Your Inner World

Creative workshops at Yours Therapy are online spaces where you can gently explore your inner world through art, writing, and simple embodied practices. You don’t need any artistic skills, although of course they are welcome. At Yours Therapy, we believe everybody has artistic skills. All that is needed is curiosity and a willingness to try something new. Together, we use creativity to slow down, listen in, and find new ways of relating to your emotions and experiences.

I am an EMDR practitioner, accredited counsellor, and coach. I hold an MA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art, and I am a qualified yoga teacher. I have been running creative, yoga, and personal growth workshops for over 20 years, both privately and within NHS and prison settings, and I bring 34 years of lived experience of recovery within various fellowships. All of this informs the way I design and facilitate these workshops, bringing together visual expression, body awareness, trauma‑informed practice, and psychological insight.

These creative workshops are therapeutic in nature, but they are not a therapy group and are not a substitute for individual therapy. If you’re curious about whether a creative workshop is right for you, you’re welcome to reach out with questions.

Understanding EMDR Therapy

Who Are These Workshops For?

Creative workshops may be a good fit if you:

  • Feel stuck talking about the same issues in traditional therapy
  • Find it difficult to put your feelings into words
  • Are highly creative and passionate and want deeper ways to process
  • Want a contained, guided space to reconnect with your creativity and its potential for growth
  • Are seeking a sense of community while still focusing on your own healing
  • Workshops can complement your individual therapy, be a gentle starting point if you’re new to this kind of work, or offer a lighter way to support your ongoing growth.

What You Might Experience

Workshops vary in length. Some are stand‑alone, some are ongoing, and some are more intensive. Each workshop is slightly different and carefully designed around its purpose, while remaining client‑led and responsive.

During a creative workshop, you might:

  • Begin with a brief introduction of yourself in relation to the workshop theme
  • Agree together on guidelines to support safety, cohesion, and collaboration
  • Take part in a grounding or mindfulness exercise
  • Explore a theme (e.g. boundaries, self‑compassion, inner child, transitions)
  • Use art, writing, or simple movement to express what arises
  • Share as much or as little as feels right (sharing is always optional, but gently encouraged)
  • Leave with a small practice you can continue at home, and a piece, experience, or connection that can support and remind you of your growth

The pace is gentle and trauma‑informed, with clear structure and choice at every step. Time is held so that everyone has the option to share if they wish.

Types of Creative Workshops

Examples of workshops offered include:

  • Expressive Arts for Relationship Growth and Boundaries: Explore your patterns in relationships and practise grounding tools using colour, texture, and imagery to soothe your nervous system.

  • Inner Child & Playful Creativity: Use drawing, story, and gentle play to reconnect with younger parts of yourself and offer them care.

  • Journaling for Clarity & Self‑Compassion: Guided writing prompts to help you untangle thoughts, connect to your voice, and cultivate kindness toward yourself.

  • Creativity to Contact Your Higher Self: Use image, symbol, and reflective practice to explore your higher self and find the power that can help you through challenges.

  • Seasonal or Themed Workshops: Short series based on themes like change, grief, body image, or life transitions.

  • Workshops in Nature: Occasional workshops in nature—such as on the Camino or in a gentle forest near Madrid—where you can connect your creativity and higher self with the landscape around you and let it inspire your growth.

How Workshops Are Held

  • Mostly online, via a secure video platform
  • Occasional in‑person groups (mainly in London, and sometimes abroad or in nature)
  • Small groups for a sense of safety and connection
  • Clear structure and breaks to avoid overwhelm
  • Options to keep your camera off or your creations private in online groups
  • Gentle invitations—no pressure to share more than you want

What to Expect

You can expect:

  • No previous experience with art or writing needed
  • All materials provided for in‑person workshops
  • A simple materials list for online groups (paper, pens, coloured pencils, etc.)
  • Clear information about dates, times, and fees before you sign up
