Creative restoration - knitting hands

Nurture, Nourish, Knit

Our fast-paced digital society means we’ve lost touch with restorative activities, and the healing power of creating with our hands.

Instinctively we know that crafts such as knitting feel good for us – but it can be tricky to know how to get the most out of knitting for our mental health, and how to share this with others.

 

We’ve got the tools you need.

As clinical psychologists and avid knitters we’ll help you harness the restorative and therapeutic powers of knitting to nurture wellbeing

Creative Restoration - harness your hobby

Harness your hobby, or try something new

Whether you are brand new to knitting or a life-long convert we can help you get the most out of this cosy craft.

Creative restoration - evidence based resources

Psychologically-informed and evidence-based

With so much wellbeing advice out there it can be hard to know what to trust. As HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologists our work draws on established and emerging scientific study in the fields of mental health, knitting and creativity.

Creative Restoration - for you, your clients and your employees

For you, your clients or your employees

As well as focussing on self-care our resources and services support therapists who want to use knitting in their work with clients, and employers and managers who are looking for innovative ways to support their workplaces and colleagues.

Our Secret? Weaving together our Psychology expertise with a love of knitting
