Bringing over 15 years of experience leading and co-facilitating writing-led wellbeing sessions, Anne-Marie has collaborated with a diverse range of groups and organisations, including the NHS Senior Leadership Team, University of Oxford (Apprentice Wellbeing Day), Restore (Wellbeing Day), the Youth in Mind Conference, the Free Word Festival (online), and prison groups through Restore, the prison programme run by The Forgiveness Project. These experiences have demonstrated how creative writing can serve as a powerful tool for reflection, emotional wellbeing and connection—regardless of background or circumstance.

From the moment she was able to pick up a pencil, writing became Anne-Marie’s solution to navigate through difficult moments in life. She describes it as her “fourth emergency service” and loves the simplicity and power that putting words on a page can bring.
