Toolbox Sessions - A Peer Space for Creative Arts Therapists

A note on Toolbox Sessions
Toolbox Sessions were offered between 2023–2025 as a small peer-based space for Creative Arts Therapists to share materials, processes and ways of working.

At present, Toolbox is paused while I focus on other projects and offerings. I’m leaving this page here as a reflection of the work, values and intentions that shaped the sessions.

What was Toolbox

Toolbox Sessions offered a small, collaborative space for Creative Arts Therapists to gather, reflect and share what was working in their practice.

These sessions were an opportunity to connect with peers, step out of the siloed nature of our work and exchange practical insights in a supportive, reciprocal space. Whether participants brought a material, an idea, or something they'd recently tried in practice, there was always room for what felt real and relevant to them in the moment

What sessions typically included

• A lightly held theme to shape the session focus

• A creative or sensory grounding activity

• Open group reflection around what had been supportive or challenging in participants’ practice

• Opportunities for participants to share a short process, material or insight from their work

• Time for informal connection, conversation and shared tea

While Toolbox is currently paused, the values that shaped these sessions continue to inform my work and offerings. Collaboration, peer learning, and shared creative inquiry continue to inform my broader practice and projects.
