Upcoming Workshops

Join Jen’s lived experience sessions to deepen trauma awareness, build compassion, and inspire change in community.

A carefully arranged collection of symbolic objects representing trauma recovery rests on a smooth oak table: a slightly worn leather-bound journal opened to a blank page, a pair of noise-cancelling headphones, a small ceramic bowl filled with polished river stones, and a delicate glass hourglass mid-flow. Behind them, a softly blurred bookshelf holds neatly ordered mental health books and folded art supplies. Gentle late-morning natural light filters through a nearby window, creating soft highlights on the glass and subtle shadows on the wood. Photographic realism, eye-level composition with a shallow depth of field, calm and contemplative atmosphere, clean and modern aesthetic that suggests reflection, safety, and hopeful healing.

Clay workshops for staff experiencing burnout

Jen offers gentle clay workshops designed for people who feel stretched thin by their roles — stressed, overwhelmed, or edging towards burnout at work. In a calm, hands-on space, your team is invited to slow down, focus on touch and texture, and explore simple creative prompts with clay, without needing to share stories or find the right words.

These low-pressure sessions work well for mixed groups of staff and can be adapted for different workplaces. Time with clay supports sensory regulation, play, and human connection, while Jen holds the structure and pace so people can simply arrive as they are. After each workshop, participants receive a handout or follow-up information with signposts to relevant support and resources if they wish to take things further.

These sessions are suitable for:

NHS staff
Carers
Support workers
Social workers
Teachers
Trauma teams
Corporate wellbeing programmes
Leadership and management teams
Workplace wellbeing sessions and away days

A night-time writing space suggests the creation of a trauma memoir: an open laptop on a walnut desk displaying a softly lit, partially written chapter titled “Surviving and Becoming.” Beside it lies a dog-eared printed manuscript secured with a binder clip, a fountain pen resting diagonally across the top page. A ceramic lamp with a linen shade casts warm, focused light, leaving the rest of the room in gentle darkness. A small stack of mental health reference books and a closed journal with a fabric bookmark anchor the frame. Photographic realism, shot at a three-quarter angle with shallow depth of field, creates an intimate, reflective, and quietly determined atmosphere.
