Simon Maddrell — Writing for Wellbeing

Simon delivers creative health workshops for both non-writers and those at every level of writing experience, which have proven therapeutic benefits for participants.

Simon has been trained by The HERA Partnership (Healing Expressive and Recovery Arts Project) and The Gestalt Centre in delivering creative health workshops.

There is compelling evidence, accepted by organisations such as WHO and the NHS, of the health & wellbeing benefits of reading, writing, listening to, and performing literature. There is specific peer-reviewed research with people dealing with terminal, chronic & mental illnesses, trauma, addiction, and bereavement.
