Welcome to Writing Sessions with Layla—a safe, creative space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences through guided writing. These sessions are designed to support self-expression, reflection, and personal growth—but they are not therapy sessions.
About Layla
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Counselling and Integrative Therapy, and I draw on this education to guide each session thoughtfully and intentionally. Occasionally, we’ll welcome guest experts, such as therapists or psychologists, to support sessions that focus on deeper themes, particularly when exploring trauma or releasing repressed emotions.
Two Ways to Join
✨ Chill with Layla (16+)
A relaxed, supportive writing circle for anyone aged 16 and over. We’ll explore themes such as self-love, creativity, and self-expression in a safe and nurturing environment.
🍷 Wine with Layla (18+)
A more grown-up evening session for participants 18 and over. Enjoy a glass of wine (or your favourite drink) while diving into deeper themes such as processing emotions, personal growth, and releasing subconscious feelings.
How it Works
- Sessions are held remotely, so you can join from anywhere in the world (times are based on London, UK).
- Sessions are offered every two weeks, with occasional additional sessions when time allows.
- Each session has a unique theme—from self-care and storytelling to emotional release and personal reflection.
- Some sessions will be free, while others may request a donation or fee to support the work.
- Depending on demand, in-person sessions may be offered in London, UK, and potentially beyond.
