Fiction Prescription

"Books are the mirror of the soul" Virginia Woolf

You'd be amazed what you can learn about yourself through  exploring your reading life.

Whatever your circumstances I suspect that, like most of us, you find it hard to prioritise your own wellbeing, and would welcome an insightful space for self-reflection, self-development and self-care.

Finding something that's easy to access and asks nothing of you but to sit in a quiet comfortable place of your choice while being guided through an exploration of your relationship with books, could be just what you need!

"cathartic, eye opening and one of the best things I’ve done on my journey to get to know myself better"

What to Expect

In a confidential, one-hour session, I’ll help you reflect on what reading means to you. Together, we’ll explore the books that feel memorable to you, the stories that resonate, and how they connect to your life experiences. You'll be free to divulge as little or as much as you are comfortable with as we uncover insights into your thoughts and feelings.

At the end of the session I'll offer a personal ‘Fiction Prescription’ - the title of a book chosen just for you based on wherever our exploration has taken us.

Why Fiction Prescription?

• A Personalised Approach to Bibliotherapy

Your experience of reading a book is as unique as your experience of life. No-one will imagine characters or empathise with them in the way you have. This is not an issue-centred book recommendation service; it's a person-centred exploration - and you're the person.

• Guided Self-Reflection 

We’ll explore the emotional and psychological connections between your life and the books you’ve read, helping you uncover new perspectives.

• A Safe, Creative Space 

Fiction Prescription offers a relaxed and supportive environment where you can reflect freely on your experiences.

• Bespoke Book Prescription 

I’ll prescribe a book that resonates meaningfully with your unique experiences and enables a sense of growth. 

Why me?

• Experienced and Professional

As an Accredited Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) I work sensitively and ethically and have over twenty years of experience. You're in safe hands.

• Passionate about People

My 'passion for people' is at the heart of all I do. No two people are the same and I respect and celebrate the uniqueness of each person I meet.

• Passionate about Books

Books offer us a window through which we can see and understand ourselves more clearly. I'm dedicated to helping  people flourish and grow. Literature can be transformative in a very non-threatening way.

Whether you’re looking to navigate personal challenges, embrace your curiosity, or simply enjoy a conversation about books and life, Fiction Prescription is here to help you uncover more about yourself ... through the power of literature.
