What we’re about
Self-development doesn’t have to be serious. We can reflect, discover, learn and heal through creativity and have some fun. Plus, a little self-development can help us to get creating too.
Write for your Life workshops give you a place to do develop yourself and your creativity and discover that you are already enough.
This group's for anyone who enjoys journaling and/or creative writing.
No experience, grammar or spelling are required.
Whether you think you're creative or not, I promise that what you write in response to prompts will surprise and delight you.
“I absolutely love Claire's writing meetings. There's something special about the people who appear. The way she facilitates discussion and sharing lets us be our authentic selves and I can see the real me in the eyes of others and, in turn, see who they truly are. She has this warm curiosity and her prompts always lead me to amazing self-discoveries that I don't think would be possible otherwise. Some things are just hard to put into words, if you want to understand what I mean by "Claire Magic" you should check yourself. I can't recommend enough!" Ania
I've been running writing workshops and coaching since 2018, helping people to have an easier and more enjoyable life; to discover they're enough through writing, journaling, connecting and having fun together.

- Oh joy! Journaling for joyLink visible for attendees£19.00
Using guided prompts we're going to indulge in our joys. From the tiny, every day, to the more juicy things. This session will make you realise how easy it is to feel a little joy.
Part journaling, part creative writing, Creative group journaling is all about self-reflection and discovery, with a dash of creativity thrown in. In this monthly session you'll write to guided prompts that will break your pen from its usual constraints, surfacing lots of content for you to reflect on.
No experience or grammar required - this is just using writing to explore.
No experience, grammar or spelling required.
* Ideal for those who like to make self-development a little more fun.
You’ll leave:- Having had some stress relief and a break from the daily pressures of life
- With valuable insights and reflections
- With journaling pages filled
- Having experienced connection to yourself and other like-minded souls
- A sense that there's more to you than you thought - you are already enough ...
Having people discover - with delight - that they’re inherently creative, already enough and have a whole range of internal resources they can call upon, 24/7, is inspiring to witness and I'm lucky and privileged to see it often.

FAQs
Writing/journaling sounds a bit dry, how is it fun?
I’m going to have you do writing/journaling exercises where you keep your pen moving and give your brain a rest. What comes out can be surprising and lead to laughter and lively conversation.
Is it for me?
If it’s grabbed your interest then absolutely, yes.
What if I haven’t written before?
This session is suitable for anyone, even if you’ve never written a journal, a story etc. No experience, grammar or spelling is required and I’ll lead you through the exercises.
What if I can’t physically write?
As long as you can express your response in some way – voice recording – doodle, your responses can still be reflected upon and shared. If you need any help from me, just let me know in advance and we can arrange something to make it work for you. Email me, Claire, at Cpsdayoff@gmail.com.Photo: Mi Pham on Unsplash
- Creative writing - just for fun!Link visible for attendees£10.00
This monthly session is for those who just want to be creative and have some fun with their imagination through words. You'll write in response to prompts and exercises giving your imagination room to play and get your creative juices flowing. You don't have to consider yourself a 'creative writer' or even a 'writer' as you won't be creating a 'piece of writing.' The rule books are thrown out; this is just about play and seeing what comes out of your pen, just for the fun of it.
Playing and using your imagination not only gets your creativity flowing but is also great for your overall health and connection.
* Ideal for writers or those who just want to try something new – be prepared to jump in!
No experience, grammar or spelling required.
"Claire has a wonderful way of structuring her sessions to support you to get comfortable with writing. I found myself writing much more creatively than I have in years, and I definitely achieved what I had hoped to in the sessions – I initially signed up as I wanted to explore writing for fun again and shake off the restrictions of ‘writing for work’ for many years. Claire really helped me to achieve this with her encouragement and guidance, I wholeheartedly recommend her workshops!" Lisa
