Creativity isn't something you do, it’s how we see the world.

When we think of creativity, we often imagine painting, writing or making something. While those things can certainly be creative, I believe creativity runs much deeper than that. It's the curiosity to explore new ideas, the imagination to think differently, the space to notice what's happening around you, and the confidence to express yourself without judgement.
Our retreats are about creating the conditions where creative thinking naturally returns. By stepping away from constant stimulation, expectations and busy schedules, we give ourselves permission to slow down, reconnect with nature, and rediscover a quieter, more intuitive way of thinking.

Your host on the retreat.
I’m Amy, professional creative, person-centred counsellor, and when I find the time, amateur artist. I've always been fascinated by identity, creativity and human behaviour, and this shapes how I approach all of my work.
Growing up in the 1980s, boredom wasn't something to avoid, it was simply part of everyday life. Looking back, I realise those quiet moments gave me something incredibly valuable. They gave me space to draw, imagine, daydream and see the world through a creative lens. I genuinely believe that without that time, I may never have discovered the creativity that's shaped both my career and my life. Today, we're surrounded by constant stimulation, and while technology has brought us so much, I think we've lost some of the space that allows creativity, reflection and self-understanding to naturally emerge.
That's why I created these retreats.
They're an invitation to step away from the noise for a while, reconnect with yourself, and rediscover what happens when you give your mind permission to slow down. Throughout the retreat, I'll also be offering optional one-to-one Creative Mentoring sessions for anyone who'd like a little extra space to reflect, explore what's coming up, or simply have a supportive conversation during the week.
Creative thinking opens a door to a slower, more connected life.
We live in a time of endless possibilities. We’re more ‘connected’ than ever, with technology that tells us we can optimise everything, even our health. Yet we seem to feel increasingly overstimulated and underwhelmed. So perhaps we’re getting something wrong.
You might remember a time before all of this, when life felt less complicated, and you were able to be more present. That doesn’t mean you need to be an artist, or even think of yourself as creative. It’s about approaching our lives with more curiosity, imagination and freedom, whilst remember to slow down enough to notice. Exploring rather than immediately trying to fix. Remembering the importance of play, and even the luxury of feeling bored.
I bring this philosophy into my work as a counsellor, consultant & facilitator. If you have questions, or would like to book a free 15 minute call, reach out here →
Testimonials from Find A Creative Mind Clients
“My (ADHD) mind is always active, and being hyper-vigilant, I tend to notice everything, which can be as overwhelming as it is inspiring. I’m quick to see and feel beauty in the complex connections in the world, and I feel driven to express those insights, but ideas are often fleeting, and getting started is the challenge…
Choosing this retreat was a conscious decision to be in a space without distractions, although I will admit the thought of slowing down makes me nervous, I know it’s needed. ”
Articles I’ve written on creative thinking.
as well as thinking creatively, I talk about our relationship with technology, menopause, neurodivergence & other things that come to mind when I walk in nature.
