Creativity for Wellbeing
The Nook offers a small, calm, and welcoming space for young people to create, learn, and flourish.
At The Nook, we believe creativity is a wonderful way to connect with young people facing difficulties at school or with life challenges.
Using our experience and expertise, we have developed creative activities that support young people’s emotional, social, and mental wellbeing. We offer a blend of therapeutic art and creative writing sessions.
We genuinely want to see every young person thrive.

The Nook @ Jessie’s Art Shed, Eynsham
Nestled in the delightful village of Eynsham in Oxfordshire, we are pleased to extend a therapeutic option to the exceptional creative work already provided by Jessie’s Art Shed. The Nook is a peaceful, creative space that enables individuals and small groups to spend time together creating, gaining confidence, and thriving.
At The Nook, we offer two types of therapeutic creativity: art and creative writing. Using these, we have developed a unique schedule of daily activities to choose from during term time and workshops during holidays. Personalised one-to-one creative sessions and small groups mean we can meet every young person where they are at.
We are trauma-informed, neuroinclusive, and trained to work therapeutically with young people through the creative arts.
The Nook @ Standlake
The Nook at Standlake is open every Tuesday for one-to-one creative writing sessions and parenting support. Set in a peaceful, tranquil location, it is a beautiful, nurturing space for both adults and young people to enjoy a therapeutic writing session.
We love our Calm Corner!
