News: "Event surpassed my expectations"

1st November 2018

We are most grateful to Claire for writing this review: Kerry Ingham's 'Drawing for Relaxation' sessions at Burrswood have surpassed my expectations and I highly recommend the experience for all abilities. Kerry, a professional artist and counsellor, warmly welcomed participants with a clear description of how the session was structured and lead us in our own explorations during the day. Any of our plaintive cries of "I'm not very good at drawing/art" were heard and then gently challe...

Event: Stories Therapy Group

30th October 2018

News: Flower arranging day

27th September 2018

Sarah says: "We all had a fabulous time, Claire not only showed us how to create our beautiful baskets but we also learned so much about the flowers and plants - it was a really interesting day. We were lucky enough to have gorgeous sunny weather so Claire took us outside to look at the gardens and collect foliage. We were so well looked after and although we didn't know each other we all had a lovely day together. I'd recommend this to anyone!"
