She was the UK coordinator for the Europe Against Cancer Programme while at Southampton University. Ros, retired, now runs her own counselling and psychotherapy practice in Salisbury; writing, though, is her life (visit www.focuswriting.co.uk ).
Poetry has long been a hobby for her, which Ros refers to as “playing with words” or “wordplay.” Ros uses narrative therapy with children and adults in her work with clients.
Narrative Therapy (Martin Payne and colleagues, 2006), and others, encourages people—those who seek help—to explore through language, writing, drama, and the arts in general their inner narratives and inner world. It encourages therapists to use this material to help them heal, grow, and achieve, as well as integrate the past with the present, encouraging personal growth and success (a technique also use in personal-professional coaching as well as sports coaching).
Ros uses and explores this writing technique in her personal memoir, The Black Pencil Woman: A Portrait of My Mother, Ros Holland (Book Guild, 2012).
Her first poetry workshop, on National Poetry Day, will be held at Newcastle City Library and is entitled “Playing with Words.”
As Philip Larkin said, “Prose is about other people; poetry about the self.”
Ros was the UK coordinator for the Europe Against Cancer Programme while at Southampton University as a lecturer and researcher. She had two international research scholarships to Holland and Australia, developing research techniques for evidence-based health interventions.показать меньше
