Travelling, learning languages, goldsmithing, writing and studying are the main occupations in this stage of my life. I spent over 20 years working in a variety of roles across the social work/care and creative sectors, and I still very much enjoy connecting and supporting people and new ideas; however, life circumstances pushed me in the direction of self-employment, and I embraced it.
I offer 1:1 coaching using creative methods that work with the emotional and unconscious part of our psyche. In my “spare time”, I keep learning.
My PhD research project is engaging with the Jungian psychology of individuation and creativity, and with G. Simondon’s philosophy, which I explore through the lens of social psychology of creativity. I’m always happy to chat with anyone interested in similar topics!
I also make jewellery and teach jewellery-making workshops, which you can follow on my other website, soovajewellery.com.
