ways to work with me

I believe that our creativity is like a river. Sometimes it gets blocked by rocks: sometimes, clearing those rocks takes time, care and sensitivity. Some rocks don’t want to be moved .

I believe that society is nothing without art and that creative expression is the way to improve communication between individuals and groups.

 Here are the three main areas where I can offer help:

  • Art of poetry

    hearing your voice

  • Art of change

    finding your way

  • Art of expression

    sounding your truth

Art of poetry

hearing your voice

Are you a poet who is terrified of reading your own work?
Do you experience disconnection between yourself
and your poems when you read?
Would you like to hone your poetry-writing craft?
Would you like a poetry mentor?

Synthesising my skills, experience and training in Alexander Technique, NLP, voice
and
poetry-writing, I can help you express your true self.

Andrea has an excellent eye for detail when critiquing poems, reflecting a wide understanding of poetics and an ability to look at a poem from different viewpoints. Using her background as a voice coach, she is also able to help with the spoken delivery of poems and to provide ideas for enabling poems to have a conversation with other media.

Art of change

finding your way

Are there changes you would like to make in your life,
but you are not sure how to go about the process?

Using the Alexander Technique and NLP, both powerful instruments for change, I can help you identify, refine and set achievable goals - small or large - and shine a light on what might be hindering you from conducting your life in the way you wish.

I am not interested in telling you what to do, only helping you listen
to what you want to do.

Andrea is a sharp listener. Processing what she hears leads her to insight. As a result, she asks great questions - and makes us do the work.

Art of expression

sounding your truth

 

 Do you feel as if your creativity is blocked?
Would you like some help to make friends
with your own natural creativity?
Have you always wanted to sing?
Are you an artist who needs help in writing about what you do?

I can help you find your authentic creative voice and express yourself
whether in sounding or making marks on a page.

I can help you mine your own words to speak your truth.

I would like to thank you, Andrea, for all your guidance and help, and for providing me with the safe and non-judgmental environment of your lessons in which I could be very open and honest.
