Self Care Scrapbooking Workshop

Join us for a calming self-care and mental health workshop in Manchester, designed to help you to slow down and create something meaningful for your wellbeing.

In this guided creative session, you’ll use scrapbooking and journaling alongside psychological prompts to build your own personalised self-care toolkit.

You’ll also receive a psychologist-created wellbeing guide to take home, giving you practical tools you can continue using long after the session ends.

This is a gentle, supportive space- no pressure, no experience needed, just time to create and breathe.

During the workshop, you will create:

• A personalised self-care scrapbook
• Pages such as “what makes me feel safe” and “what helps me calm down”
• Guided reflection pages using psychology-based prompts
• SOS pages for overwhelming or difficult moments

You will also receive:

• A take-home psychological wellbeing guide, created by a psychologist, designed to support you in everyday life

This means you leave with both a creative personal resource and a structured support tool.

This is a slow, calming, creative workshop designed to feel restorative rather than overwhelming.

You can expect:

• Guided scrapbooking and journaling
• Simple, accessible psychological insights explained during the session
• Gentle prompts to support reflection
• A relaxed, welcoming environment
• Optional group discussion (no pressure to share)
• All materials provided
• No creative experience needed

Everything is designed to help you feel grounded and supported.

This workshop is ideal if you:

• Feel stressed, overwhelmed, or mentally overloaded
• Are looking for a self-care workshop in Manchester
• Want a creative way to support your mental health
• Enjoy journaling, scrapbooking, or reflective activities
• Want practical wellbeing tools you can actually use
• Need a calm, gentle evening activity

Beginners are absolutely welcome!

This is a psychology-informed wellbeing workshop, combining creative expression with accessible psychological tools.

You’ll explore ideas such as:

• emotional regulation
• grounding and safety
• self-compassion
• coping strategies for difficult moments

These are translated into simple creative prompts so you can turn reflection into something visual, practical, and personal.
