The Moon Lab: Workshops

Welcome to The Moon Lab…

What’s behind the name? The moon is a symbol that represents our emotions, dreams and the unconscious mind (or, as we say in gestalt, things out of awareness). However, what we experience on the surface doesn’t always reflect what’s going on underneath, the vast depths of our potential.

I run a variety of online (and sometimes, in-person) workshops throughout the year, usually themed around dreams, lucid dreaming, mindfulness, journalling or poetry therapy.

In addition to being a gestalt psychotherapist, I’m also a qualified mindfulness teacher and undergoing the final stages of accreditation to become a Certified Poetry Therapist (CPT).

I’m fully insured and a student member operating under the governing body of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) for gestalt psychotherapy. I also adhere to the guidance from the Mindfulness Association (mindfulness) and the International Federation of Biblio Poetry Therapy and Lapidus (poetry therapy).

Unfortunately, I cannot currently offer these workshops to psychotherapy clients I am actively working with, due to professional boundaries and the ethical framework I adhere to.

Poetry Therapy

For those who love to write, or simply for anyone who feels drawn to journaling or creative writing for self-growth, I host writing for wellbeing workshops. Using various forms, including poetry, as a way to tune in and use the page to explore, process and heal your inner world.

Dream Work

Either working on a 1:1 basis or within a workshop setting, learn how to use your dreams for self-growth. I teach ways to use lucid dreaming, and different sleep states, to support and improve your wellbeing. The lucid state is a refined and powerful state of consciousness you can harness while you sleep.

Mindfulness

I offer 1:1, group + corporate mindfulness sessions. Mindfulness is a compelling approach for reducing stress, anxiety, anger, substance abuse and trauma. Research shows that meditation results in significant physical and mental health benefits after as little as eight weeks of daily practice.

A Love Letter to Self

3-5 pm, 15 February 2026 (£30) Online

A radical act of self-love over Valentine’s weekend…

In this two hour Zoom workshop, together we will use poetry and writing prompts to fully understand the concept of self-compassion and the ways in which we sometimes judge ourselves unknowingly. We’ll also write an ode to our unloved or disowned parts.

Exploring the barriers that might sometimes prevent self-compassion and identifying opportunities for change and new ways of being we might consider.

All while learning how to ‘tango’ with that inner critic and enhance how we feel about ourselves through compassion-based meditations, discussions and writing prompts.
