185: Allowing True Expression in Coaching

Paul Chambers, speaker, poet and co-founder of PoetsIN, a creative mental health charity, joins host Maisie Barlow to talk about how he uses creativity, writing and poetry in his work with young people and adults.

Paul shares parts of his own story, including his mental health struggles and how a series of events all happening at once allowed him to turn his life around. Learn more about the work of his charity and how he switched from not liking children at all to becoming incredibly passionate about working with them. A wonderfully warm and inviting conversation.

You will learn:

· The value of creating a space for honest self-expression

· Invaluable insights and tips for working with young people

· The difference between working with children, compared with adults

"We hold space for them, we give them a voice, we give them an ear and we give them support and we don't judge."
