About Me
I’m Lesley, the creator of Connect with Creativity.
I’ve spent my career supporting people in care, education, professional development and corporate environments - from working with adults with learning disabilities and children with emotional and behavioural needs, to teaching in a maximum‑security prison, managing a care home and spending over 25 years in education and business development.
Different roles, different environments, different people, but one thing has always mattered to me: people feeling seen, heard and valued.
After years of being the person who “gets things done”, I hit burnout more than once. Moving to Wales in 2020 was meant to be a fresh start, but Covid, isolation and perimenopause left me anxious, exhausted and disconnected from myself. Somewhere in all of that, I lost my spark.
Creativity helped me find it again.
Through my studies in holistic creative arts and wellbeing, I rediscovered creative expression - not as something to be good at, but as a safe place to put what I was feeling. Creativity became a way to explore my inner world without needing the right words. Slowly, I began reconnecting with my thoughts, my body, my emotions, my curiosity and my confidence.
That experience changed everything, and it’s why I created Connect with Creativity.
I support people who carry a lot, who look “fine” on the outside, and who want a gentle, non‑judgemental way to reconnect with themselves. You don’t need to be an artist or know what you’re feeling before you start. You just need curiosity and a safe space to explore.
My approach blends creative wellbeing, nervous‑system awareness, somatic movement and lived experience. I offer 1:1 support, creative workshops and practical resources that help creativity become part of everyday life.
My work supports individuals, communities and organisations exploring stress, overwhelm, identity, connection and the simple human need to pause and breathe.
I’m still learning, still creating, still figuring things out - because wellbeing is not a destination; it’s something we continually reconnect with.
If you’d like to see what your creativity has to say, let's connect.
Much love,
Lesley
