SASKIA STENSON, PTP in Training, SHROPSHIRE, UK

Observing and being ‘outside’ in many senses is my privilege and characteristic, living in France, Italy, Belgium, Holland. Shifting cultures and languages, learning all the time, I now relish a kind of home-coming to England. Writing poetry since my teens, I had the joy of sharing my love of language for more than twenty years of teaching, including over a decade of English literature post-sixteen.

Currently completing my Person-Centred MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy, I am delighted to find my path to Poetry Therapy Practitioner training, alongside working with bereavement for Cruse.
