One-to-One Therapuetic Sessions in Art or Creative Writing

Our individual art and creative writing sessions offer a supportive, therapeutic space designed to help young people express themselves and navigate their emotions. Each session uses gentle creative activities to build confidence, reduce stress, and encourage healthy ways to understand and communicate their feelings. Through art or creative writing, young people can explore their thoughts and emotions in a gentle, supportive way—no pressure, no judgement, and no need for any special skills.

It’s a calm, positive time that’s just for them—somewhere they can create, talk (if they want to), and enjoy a bit of breathing room in a busy world.

Creative Writing and Illustration Group Sessions

Our two-hour Creative Writing and Illustration Groups blend expressive writing with imaginative illustration, offering a calm, uplifting environment where creativity builds confidence and self-belief, and provides an opportunity to express feelings and emotions.

Projects explore writing styles and illustrators and are carefully chosen to reflect the interests and abilities of each group.

Our groups provide a nurturing, calm space for young people to create, connect, and grow.

Meet & Create for Older Teenagers

A calm, cosy space where older teens can relax, meet new friends and enjoy some creative activities together.

And there’s a great cafe serving delicious hot chocolate!
