Hello.
I’m Sophie.
I’m a bestselling author, a writing teacher/ facilitator and I research the connections between writing, health and wellbeing.
I’m the creator of Restorative Writing, a creative and embodied approach designed to help us to restore us to ourselves, and to equitable community with one another and our beautiful more-than-human world.

I believe that creativity has never been more important. The world needs writers and makers. It needs our ideas, our courage and our talents.
I believe in what we can do when we come together to learn, to listen to one another, and to tap into our innate creativity to solve problems.
At this precarious time in the life of our planet, we need creativity more than ever. Acknowledging and expressing our emotions - and especially our feelings of anxiety, grief, loss, distress, even fear - is the first step in recovering hope and bringing about meaningful change.
I believe that we are all happier, healthier, kinder and more compassionate human beings when we are supported to connect with our own innate creativity in our everyday lives.
