Creative Therapy

Sarah Ashford

Hi, I’m Sarah and I’m a modern quilter and Wellness Coach, passionate about the mental health benefits of learning new skills, sewing, and creativity. This year, I’m writing a column on Wellness and Creativity for a popular Australian magazine, expanding the conversation around wellness.

I work with small cohorts of clients, supporting them one-on-one and overseas via Zoom. I love providing a listening ear, helping people set goals, and live with intention. I also volunteer with @finecellwork, supporting individuals transitioning from prison back into society.

For years, I struggled with exhaustion and overwhelm, but through my own journey, I learned how to prioritise my wellbeing. Now, I use my experience and training to help others make small, positive changes. Whether in person or online, my mission is to provide the space, tools, and support to help you become the best version of yourself.

Sophie Slosarczyk

Before my life took this beautifully slow turn, I spent 15 years in the medical field, earning my BSc (Hons) and PgDip in Diagnostic Radiography, Imaging, and Medical Ultrasound. I even lived in Australia, fulfilling my dream of traveling the world. But life led me down a different path—one that brought me here.

Now, alongside motherhood, I’m a qualified Wellbeing Coach (LL Cert) and soon-to-be MA student in Creative Writing (Poetry). Poetry, writing, and mindfulness have become my refuge, helping me navigate stress, anxiety, and exhaustion.

I specialize in women’s wellness—supporting emotional health, stress, burnout, and poor food relationships. Through 1-1 coaching, I help women move past what’s holding them back. Sessions include a pre-coaching questionnaire to tailor support, ensuring a private, confidential, and transformative experience.

Nel Mathams

I’m a consultant, coach, and facilitator with extensive experience in agile methodologies, design thinking, service design, and user research. I’ve worked with a range of organisations, from private sector companies like Redwood Publishing and NEST Pensions to central government departments and the Government Digital Service (GDS).

My approach creates a welcoming space for exploration and learning, fostering innovation while enhancing team wellbeing. Combining enterprise agile, service experience design, and wellbeing coaching, I use visual and serious play techniques to make engagements immersive and impactful. Whether on an ad hoc project or a freelance research or service design contract, collaboration and co-creation are at the heart of how I work.

Laura Edralin

Hi, I’m Laura Edralin—a calligraphy artist, happiness facilitator, and certified wellbeing coach passionate about combining self-care with creativity.

I love sharing ways to help people support their wellbeing and mental health through creativity and mindfulness. My goal is to help you step away from the busyness of life, get creative, and drop into a calming flow state—with just a pen!

I discovered calligraphy in 2017 as a creative outlet to support my own mental wellbeing. It quickly became more than just a hobby—I was fascinated by the psychological impact creativity can have as a mindfulness practice and personal development tool.

Since then, I’ve become a certified wellbeing coach with Raw Horizons and now combine coaching with creative techniques to support others through public workshops and corporate programs.

I truly believe that the more we share, the more we learn, the more we grow—and the more we find a sense of belonging.

Katie Tucker

Hi, I’m Katherine, but everyone calls me Katie. I’m a Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapy (HICAT) Tutor, Creative Wellbeing Coach, and the founder of Devine-Creative. My mission is to help people overcome ‘dis-ease’ and feel empowered to heal themselves through creative expression.

After experiencing stress and overwhelm in my corporate career, I discovered the transformative power of HICAT. This journey led me to become a HICAT Practitioner, Facilitator, and Master Practitioner, deepening my expertise in holistic healing. Now, I run an online college offering HICAT Practitioner Training, supporting students to understand the power of these beautifully simple but very effective, creative tools to comfort and heal.

Through one-on-one coaching, group workshops, and immersive training, I guide individuals in using creative tools to restore balance, reduce stress, and enhance well-being. At Devine-Creative, we don’t judge—we listen, understand, and trust our intuition, creating a safe space for healing and self-discovery.

Emma Little

At The Hut, I bring creativity and purpose to the lives of adults on mental health journeys and those with learning disabilities, whether long or short-term. What makes my service different is that members leave their disabilities at the door and step in with their abilities.

Following my coach training, I designed a coaching program that empowers my members to grow and stay motivated. I made it adaptable and easy to follow, ensuring it builds trust and supports a holistic approach to learning and development.

Why do I do what I do?

It’s simple—I want to make a difference. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to grow, make choices, and have meaningful discussions that create a positive impact on their lives and those around them. Helping people build a future they can be proud of brings me happiness and fulfilment in my role as a Coach and Service Manager.
