I’m a writer, speaker & creative guide with a Jungian arts-based PhD in writing as inner work. After pursuing a career in journalism in my twenties, a breakdown & related chronic illness resulting from unresolved childhood trauma brought me crashing to a standstill. Finding myself at a brink, it was through a mid-life encounter with Jungian therapy that I began a dynamic journey of recovery. Following this life-changing experience, I became interested in how writing & creative practices of all forms can be an equivalent transformational space to explore the threshold between inner & outer worlds.

I have a background in the media and academia as an Editor of arts & culture magazine Dazed & Confused and a lecturer with over twenty years’ experience teaching creative arts subjects, respectively. Since completing my doctorate, I’ve developed the transformational process of ‘depth writing’ grounded in Jungian psychology, which is focused on nurturing depth of connection with our deep creative self. I run a programme of depth writing workshops, courses & retreats throughout the year which take place both online and in person.

I’m a Seed Talks expert speaker, serve on the Editorial Team of the London Arts-Based Research Centre and am co-Editor of forthcoming Routledge publication The Creative Psyche: Between Self & Spirit. I write about my travels between worlds via my ‘living autobiography’ Dreaming Awake over on the publishing hub Substack. And, as you’ve probably guessed, I love to dive deep.

I love hearing from others - get in touch with me here newsomerachelelizabeth@gmail.com
