While consulting is my core service, I also offer Bibliotherapy. This is a distinct practice of deep listening and reflection for groups. Scroll down for more information.
Stories to heal the soul.
The ancient Romans called libraries healing places of the soul.
Bibliotherapy is listening and connecting to stories to support wellbeing. Small groups are invited to slow down, listen deeply, reflect and connect:
with the text, with yourself, and with others.
Listen
Carefully chosen texts that open doors to wonder and encourage deep listening.
Reflect
Slow down, sit with what the text evokes in you, and find your own meaning.
Connect
A held, respectful environment where all perspectives are welcomed and heard.
What happens in a session?
A reading companion reads aloud one or two carefully chosen texts tailored for your group. Space is held for the reflection and conversation that emerge.
What does it offer?
Space to practise deep listening, perspective-taking, compassion and reflective thinking. Research shows engaging with stories increases our understanding of those different from ourselves.
