1-on-1 Bibliotherapy Package

Sometimes the right book finds us at exactly the right moment.

A story can help us feel understood. A memoir can shine a light on our own experiences. A carefully chosen book can offer perspective, comfort, courage, or a new way of seeing ourselves and the world around us.

Bibliotherapy is the therapeutic use of books to support reflection, personal growth and wellbeing. Through carefully selected reading and guided discussion, books become more than something we consume – they become companions on our journey.

My role is not simply to recommend a book. My role is to help you discover the book that meets you where you are, support you as you engage with it, and help you uncover the insights and wisdom that emerge along the way.

Whether you are navigating a life transition, grief, burnout, loss of confidence, questions of purpose, personal growth, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, bibliotherapy offers a gentle yet powerful path towards greater self-awareness.

What Is Bibliotherapy?

Bibliotherapy is the practice of using reading as a form of emotional support, reflection, and healing.

In our work together, I intuitively select words and stories that mirror your experience, helping you:

• Feel less alone in what you're going through
• Gain new perspectives gently and naturally
• Process emotions at your own pace
• Reconnect with yourself in a deeper way

You won't just read these words. You will recognise yourself within them.

Your Bibliotherapy Journey - 

How it works...

We begin with a 60-minute consultation, either in person or online. During this session we will explore:

• What has brought you to bibliotherapy
• What you would like to work on or explore
• Your current challenges and goals
• Your reading preferences and experiences
• The type of books that resonate most with you

Following our conversation, I will carefully curate a personalised reading prescription and recommend a book tailored to your unique needs and circumstances. You will also receive a copy of my Therapeutic Reading Journal to support your reflections throughout the process.

You then read or listen to your chosen book at your own pace. As you journey through the book, you are welcome to share reflections, insights and questions via WhatsApp. These check-ins help maintain momentum and provide gentle support as themes emerge.

This is not an unlimited messaging service or crisis support, but a space for thoughtful reflection and accountability throughout your reading journey. Messages are reviewed during business hours and responses are typically provided within 2–3 working days.

Once you have completed the book, we meet for a final 60-minute session. Together we will explore:

• The themes that resonated most deeply
• Characters, stories or ideas that reflected your own experiences
• Insights and discoveries that emerged
• Practical actions and next steps

The goal is not simply to finish a book but to integrate its wisdom into your life in meaningful and lasting ways.

• Initial 60-minute consultation

Investment

This fee covers the complete Bibliotherapy Journey and includes both sessions and support throughout the reading process. It is payable in full, in advance.
