Welcome to Busy Corner Books. The umbrella ☂️ for Writing Well Lincolnshire & ARCLIGHT™ Ethically Grounded, Accountable Professional Mentoring, Reflective Writing, Formation & Certificated CPD/PD Development Courses

To Help You Grow

Busy Corner Books offers a quiet and thoughtful space where writing, reflection, feedback and discernment are taken seriously.

Through Writing Well Lincolnshire and ARCLIGHT™, we offer supportive opportunities to help individuals, writers, professionals and organisations explore their own process with clarity, integrity and humble confidence.

Some people come here for reflective writing, personal growth or creative confidence. Others come because they would like to develop ethical, accountable and person-honouring ways of supporting clients, groups, communities or those in their care. Some come to discern their pathway in life, faith, writing, work or vocation.

Why Busy Corner Books?

Busy Corner Books is shaped by care, ethical practice, thoughtful reflection and respect for each person's individual process.

Founder, Paula Anne Thwaite, brings together experience in counselling and psychotherapy-informed practice, writing, publishing, reflective practice, spiritual accompaniment, group facilitation and professional communication.

The work offered here is not therapy, counselling, clinical supervision, diagnosis, medical advice or crisis support. Our courses and mentoring services are educational, reflective, creative, developmental and spiritually attentive where appropriate.

Many participants find the work meaningful, encouraging and at times emotionally releasing. For this reason, Busy Corner Books works within clear boundaries, transparent fees, safeguarding awareness, confidentiality, supervision and published policies.

Our Courses

  • Continuing Professional Development Courses / CPD

Every person carries a spark. My work is simply to help you fan this into light through acknowledgement, clarity, compassion and faith-shaped wisdom, while honouring your individuality.

You do not need perfect words, only true ones.

All the very best,

Paula
