I also know the frustration of working with limited energy, within the constraints of complex family dynamics and whilst navigating trauma, divorce, bereavement, illness and burnout. When we’re constantly fire-fighting or distracted, it is easy to feel that other people are getting ahead and that we’re being left behind but my own experience has taught me that sometimes slowing down is the fastest way to get to a destination and that a life spent chasing the trappings of success is not always a fulfilled one. What if you could look after your wellbeing, enjoy the journey and still achieve your goals? Good news! You can! My brand of Slow Coaching: Honours your history and limitations Prioritises wellbeing Emphasises process as well as product Uses creative approaches (including writing and art) to identify your values, goals and the steps needed to achieve them. Supports you to build a life that is full of meaning, purpose, joy and authenticity. “I would never have felt confident to say “I’m a writer” but I can now. I cannot thank or recommend Beverley enough” ~ Tracey Ford https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66ad0ef38879c12db0488163/b6134cf2-9ebe-4a4f-96aa-eb3d87987e62/IMG_3244.png Coach - Manuscript feedback Sometimes, as writers, we’re too close to our own manuscript and can’t see the wood for trees.

I encourage people to live their own authentic lives, just as I encourage writers to find their authentic voice. I want to liberate people from their self-limiting beliefs and enable people to live their best, most authentic, creative lives. Through coaching we can change our narratives and become creators of our own destinies. I’m taking on more clients in 2026 so get in touch if you think I’d be the right fit for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66ad0ef38879c12db0488163/1722617603428-DV9UPE3VF4HMJ60WUX7A/bw_transp+-+W.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66ad0ef38879c12db0488163/f19a20b0-667b-4bb9-ad8a-7a3b6daee528/8cda4539-9cec-46dc-8f92-3968adaa1b91.jpg Home - Hi, I’m Beverley.

As an experienced trainer, facilitator and consultant, I’m able to devise bespoke services to suit your needs.

I’ve been a facilitator of writing for thirty years and genuinely don’t think anyone has run more workshops than me (though I’m happy to be challenged on this!) I love to create spaces where people feel safe to express themselves and delight in seeing writers find their voices and grow in confidence. I can tailor writing workshops to any group and have worked with a wide-range of people including: children and young people, those who are experiencing bereavement and terminal illness, survivors of domestic abuse, parents and carers, homeless people and people in recovery. If you need some inspiration for your own workshops, my Writing Revolution handbooks are chock full of ideas. @beverleyswritingrevolution https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66ad0ef38879c12db0488163/42379c3a-ebde-498c-918d-8fb055e9e1f0/IMG_3179.jpeg Facilitator - Can I help you to develop a new project? I’m a natural entrepreneur and have been responsible for creating a wide-range of projects including the Sheffield Young Writers Project, my own brand of children’s Writing Clubs and The Writers Workshop. I enjoy creating anthologies of writing and recently ran workshops for clients of Mums In Need and edited the Write to be Heard anothology of writing which acts as a fundraising tool for the charity. I’m currently curating booklets of writing with writers at Weston Park Cancer Charity and at St Luke’s Hospice. ‘It’s been a very safe, therapeutic space that Beverley has created - we have been able to share so much.’ Writing through Cancer Participant.

Writing Clubs are a place where young people can express themselves, experiment, develop their love of stories and language, and grow in confidence. Writing is a creative act and not just a tool for passing exams. In Writing Club we don’t focus on grammar, spelling or punctuation but writing skills will develop naturally as children fall in love with the power of the written word. Currently I just have one Writing Club on a Wednesday from 4.30pm-6pm at The Writers Workshop. Looking for more inspiration for your young writer?
