Our approach
We use an approach that combines the well-established discipline of reflective practice with creative, expressive and intuitive ‘writing for wellbeing‘ techniques.
This combination allows you to gain extra opportunities for insights and professional development.
You can use this approach alongside other reflective practice activities, to complement your experience and add a new dimension to your thinking. Or, you can use it as a standalone tool. Either way, this type of writing and reflection offers the chance to approach your working life from a new perspective. It can even open the door to creative and innovative ways forward.
Building on firm foundations
Writing as a tool for reflection, discovery and self-development is, of course, not a modern invention. Over the centuries, many individuals have instinctively turned to diaries, journalling, poetry, fiction and life-story writing to help articulate their experiences, express themselves, deepen self-awareness and move towards personal growth.
In our ‘writing for professional development’ workshops, we build on these concepts. We draw on theory and practice from fields such as coaching, counselling, positive psychology, therapeutic writing, the Arts and, of course, reflective practice. In this way, writing’s transformative potential is released.
At Writing for Life, we believe this approach has the potential to help any professional who is seeking personal growth in the workplace and who is able & willing to give writing a go.
