Let This Poem Be A Hand Upon Your Shoulder – Poetry Therapy Workshops with Charmaine Pollard (Online)
Fri 23 Oct 2026 to Fri 20 Nov 2026
In times of crisis and uncertainty, poetry can bring comfort and healing. Join us for an inspiring and experiential online workshop designed to uplift your spirit through the power of poetry and expressive writing.

This unique session invites you to experience poetry as a gentle, supportive hand upon your shoulder, offering insight, tools for resilience and connection.

Whether you are seeking emotional healing or simply wish to explore the therapeutic qualities of poetry, journalling and verse, this workshop provides a nurturing space to engage with poetry and self- reflective writing in a meaningful way.

The title of the workshop was inspired by a poem written by Deborah Cooper

No need to worry about spelling or grammar. Nor any knowledge of poetry or expressive writing is required; you simply need to be willing to share, reflect and experiment with words in a supportive environment.

Embrace the healing touch of words and discover how poetry and writing, can be a source of strength and comfort in your life.

Charmaine Pollard is an experienced poetry therapist, counsellor, and life coach with a passion for leading therapeutic writing workshops to promote health and wellbeing. She is author of Writing for Resilience, a book that harnesses the power of writing to help boost self-awareness and strengthen resilience.
