Fiona Hamilton lives in the vibrant city of Bristol, south west UK. She writes poetry, prose and plays and teaches ways to write life story, uses of improvisation and reflective practice. She is fascinated by therapeutic applications of writing as a way to understand, communicate, and live better.
As Director of Studies at Metanoia Institute she runs and teaches on courses in creative writing for therapeutic purposes (a Masters and Practitioner Certificate). She has extensive experience with diverse groups using arts practices for reflective exploration, to combat stigma and explore narratives for change and new understandings.
Her recent publications include an article on poetry of body/mind in Liric Journal (2022), 'habitations' in Axon: Creative Explorations (2019), the ground beneath our feet in Cornerstones (2018) and a play Dancing on the Rusty Brown Carpet (2020) about the healing power of dance and music. Fiona studied English Language and Literature at Somerville College, Oxford University, Drama at East 15 Acting School, and teacher training with the Open University.
