Study involves writing in diverse forms, conversation, theory and reflexive discussion. Students develop as writers, designers of sessions and facilitators in a stimulating group setting. A reflexive, exploratory and sometimes playful approach is taken to exploring the possibilities of ‘writing’ and ‘therapeutic’ and assignments include creative portfolios, essays and presentations.

‘The Metanoia course in CWTP has more than fulfilled my hope that it would equip me to develop a sound therapeutic writing practice, it has also been a powerful catalyst for my own creative writing: poetry, fiction and memoir have flowed with greater freedom and invention than ever before. Above all, the programme has introduced me to a community of like-minded scholar-practitioners whose support and friendship I deeply value.’ Geoff Mead, graduate
