Welcome to Soul Writes, a website dedicated to the craft of journal writing and journal therapy.

Writing the Rhythms of Life

A Personal Journal is a specific sort of diary which you write in regularly to explore yourself, your relationships and your life in order to find your deep authentic self.

Connecting with your deep self or soul connects you to the wider world, its cycles and rhythms, and allows you to create the life you want.

Why write a personal journal?

Journal writing is an intensely personal, creative and powerful process which reaps rich rewards if you want to live your life rather than have life just happen to you and if you want to let go of old habits and patterns that don’t serve you anymore.

Instead, you can use the process of journal writing to be creative with your life and how you want it to be. Read more.

How could writing a personal journal help me?

Hold the question in your mind. Put your pen to paper and write fast without stopping for 5 minutes.

Trust what you write. Don’t censor or change it even if it doesn’t make any sense. After 5 minutes, stop and read what you have written. What do you notice? What have you learned about yourself?

What is Journal Therapy?

Journal Therapy is simply working one to one with me on your own concerns and issues using focused journal writing. You will learn journal writing skills which you then have for life as well as having my support and guidance as you move towards making the changes you want in your life. Read more.
