Journaling Workshops
Journaling For Well Being
Why Journal?
Journaling is a life tool that makes a HUGE difference. It leads to the greatest treasure - ourselves
Journaling allows us to create distance between ourselves and our thoughts. When we become a witness to our thoughts, we realise don't need to believe everything we think!
Journaling workshops are not therapy. These workshops are for those who want to learn strategies and tools to take care of their mental and emotional well being.
What does it do?
Journaling helps with:
- focus
- decision making
- emotional self-regulation
- managing stress and anxiety
- sleep
- building self-esteem and confidence
- relieving the mind of repetitive thoughts
- processing emotions
- getting to know ourselves
- Improving relationship with self and others
- clarifying dreams and goals
- becoming fluent writers (there is no need to worry about neat handwriting or spelling mistakes)
- enhancing creativity
Why Journal with Megan?
Megan is a writer and qualified teacher who has spent twenty years teaching creative writing. Megan grew up with undiagnosed ADHD which caused anxiety and burn out. Journaling was one place where she could be her true self.
When COVID hit Megan’s anxiety reached an all time low. She reached out for help and was diagnosed with ADHD. She uses journaling tools to connect with her inner voice - the greatest gift in her life.
She is passionate about sharing this tool with others. In 2022 she gave her first journaling workshops and the feedback was so positive that she now offers workshops and courses in organisations, schools and online.

Testimonials
Megan's journaling workshop provided our community with the opportunity to stop, reflect and express themselves on paper. Through her joy and enthusiasm, she showed the group the benefits journalling can have on our lives and helped everyone to feel more empowered by the time they left
The 6th classes (and staff) really enjoyed this introduction to journaling. It was such an engaging and personal account of how it lead to a lifelong love of using this skill as a tool to clear a noisy mind, or as a start to creative writing.
Her manner was warm, inclusive, clear and respectful and the children had lots of time to practise the skill, some for the first time during the workshop. Such a helpful resource to have in our repertoire of ways to manage everyday stress and switch off from devices in a meaningful way.
Highly recommend Megan and looking forward to welcoming her back another time!
Megan recently facilitated two journaling workshops in the library – one for a class group from our local school and one public session. The children loved the workshops, in fact, many of the class group came back again for the public session! Megan’s enthusiasm made the workshops engaging from the start and her gentle encouragement ensured that all the children had a very positive experience.
I highly recommend Megan Wynne’s workshop on Journaling. It builds beautifully, is scaffolded and the timings of the exercises are perfect to keep the students fully engaged.
This is a simple, practical tool that is explained clearly with defined achievable goals. It was a very motivating workshop for both the students and myself!
Megan's vibrant energy and interactive style engaged the pupils at a very high level. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to introduce journalling to the class. Megan has a wealth of experience in journalling and writing and presents ideas in a very accessible way as a means of dealing with the highs and lows of life.
The participants wanted to continue with the journalling experience after Megan left and I've no doubt that she has ignited a spark of passion for writing for the children in the class.
A short but sincere note of thanks to you for your excellent workshop yesterday. Our 5th Year students found it to be an engaging, positive and extremely helpful hour, from which they came away feeling uplifted and supported. We really appreciate your time and openness - it has definitely made a difference.
