About us
At Writing Well Community Focused Creative Writing Wellbeing Groups, we specialise in bringing together individuals who are passionate about writing and community involvement. Our organisation aims to foster a supportive and empowering environment for writers to share their work and also give back to their local community. Join us in Lincolnshire, for a fulfilling experience of creativity and connection.
Both Barrie and Paula bring 25+ years experience from the field of psychotherapy, counselling, language patterns and communication skills,.
This includes working with clients one-to-one, teaching seminars and workshops, facilitating groups and writing corresponding documents.
Paula is a published author and has over 15 years experience in the writing and publishing industry. She also has a background in spiritual accompaniment.
Following a life-changing accident in 2023, Paula used the experience as a springboard to helping others both personally and professionally through the written word and creative workshops. She is currently studying the Master of Arts in Creative Writing and working towards Doctorate level. Barrie is qualified to Post-Graduate level, and has a wealth of experience, having taught therapy throughout the UK and in South Africa.
Writing Well was founded and developed by Paula Thwaite in May 2024, following her addressing the importance and value of personal/professional acknowledgement through sharing the written word and giving/receiving of constructive feedback from both one-to-one and group connections.
"I have watched people's eye's light up; their breathing calm; the tone of their skin change; and their whole posture alter at being acknowledged and given space to be themselves. This is so simple, yet so valuable." P. Thwaite.
