I’m Sophie Hannah Walker - artist, writer and photographer. These creative activities are essential for my wellbeing. I have used art as therapy all my life to manage challenging mental health. This led me to ten years and counting of studying the psychology of creativity. I have multiple qualifications in this area. It turned out that most of my struggles were due to undiagnosed neurodivergence and hidden disabilities. Alongside my art, writing and photography I offer a range of therapeutic creative meditations, workshops and courses as well as one to one creative coaching and mentoring for neurodivergent creative people and those managing hidden disabilities and creativity.

I also offer self study courses and workshops in therapeutic creative activities for wellbeing and self discovery.
