The New Creative Journal
The Creative Journal is an innovative approach developed by Anne-Marie Jobin, art therapist based in Québec. Rooted in art therapy and wellness practices, this unique personal journaling method combines three creative languages: writing, drawing, and collage.
Designed as a gentle and accessible path to well-being and self-development, the Creative Journal invites you to explore your inner world in a playful, intuitive, and meaningful way. No artistic skills are required—this is not about being good at drawing or creating “beautiful” art. It’s about expression, reflection, and reconnecting with yourself.
By engaging multiple forms of expression, the Creative Journal helps deepen self-awareness, support emotional balance, and encourage personal growth in a safe and nurturing space.
How Can the Creative Journal Support My Counselling?
The Creative Journal can be a wonderful companion to counselling, helping you deepen your self-awareness, explore emotions, reflect on personal discoveries and continue your journey of self-exploration between sessions.
Can I Use the Creative Journal on My Own?
It can also be enjoyed independently, as a personal journaling practice for wellbeing, creativity and personal growth. Going beyond traditional written journaling, it invites you to explore through words, images, colours and collage.
What Are the Benefits?
The Creative Journal offers a refreshing, playful and inspiring way to reconnect with yourself, express emotions, discover new perspectives and nurture your creativity. Above all, it encourages curiosity, imagination, self-discovery and the simple joy of creating — without any artistic expectations!
I am certified in the Creative Journal approach, and if it is something you are interested in I can integrate this method into your individual counselling sessions as well as in group workshops, where it supports personal exploration, healing, and transformation.
If you would like to integrate this approach in your individual counselling session, the fee remains the same or if you wish to have longer sessions, this is also possible (see below)
Fees:
1:1- 1h30 £ 75
Group workshop: for 2 hours £150 (up to 6 people)

Workshop THEMES:
Introduction to the New Creative Journal
This is a supportive and inspiring workshop designed to help you understand the creative journaling process and feel confident using it as a personal tool for reflection and expression. Whether you’re new to journaling or feel unsure how to begin, this session offers a gentle and accessible starting point.
You’ll explore a variety of creative journaling techniques — from writing prompts to visual and mixed-media approaches — learning how and why they work. Rather than focusing on perfection, this workshop encourages curiosity, play, and self-trust, helping you find a style that feels natural and meaningful to you.
Coming Home to Self -
This workshop is a gentle creative journaling workshop for anyone who feels disconnected, unsure of what they enjoy, or struggling to know how to truly feel good. If you’ve ever felt lost in understanding your emotions or uncertain about what “home” feels like within yourself, this space is for you.
A Book of Inner Magic-
Awaken Your Inner Magic
An inspiring Creative Journal journey of self-discovery, imagination and personal growth, combining art journaling, traditional journaling and New Creative Journal techniques — a holistic experience filled with creativity, fun, wonder and a little sparkle of magic.
Why I Created This Workshop
Ever since I was a little girl, I have been fascinated by magic and that wonderful sense of wonder and enchantment — the feeling that anything is possible. I created this workshop to share that feeling and help others reconnect with their imagination, inner resources and natural creativity. I believe we are all creative. Creativity is not just about producing beautiful artwork, but it is also about the joy of exploring, expressing ourselves and discovering what lies within.
What to Expect
Through the New Creative Journal, we combine writing, drawing, collage and imaginative exercises to explore our inner world in a playful, intuitive and meaningful way. This creative approach can help us express emotions, deepen self-awareness, discover new perspectives and reconnect with our confidence, curiosity and sense of possibility. No artistic experience is needed.
Your Book of Inner Magic
Over five sessions of three hours, you will gradually create your own Book of Inner Magic — a deeply personal journal filled with your reflections, symbols, creative discoveries and inner resources. A meaningful companion to treasure, revisit and continue developing long after the workshop ends.
A Journey for You
Offered online, one-to-one or in small groups, this workshop can complement counselling or simply offer a personal journey of self-exploration and wellbeing. You are also welcome to explore a theme that is particularly meaningful to you.
