A Therapist’s Guide to Creative Journaling, with Julie Kuhn

We all know journaling can be a powerful tool for reflection and healing but what if the words just won’t come? Or what if journaling feels like another task you’re “failing” at?

In this episode, I sit down with Creative Arts Counsellor, Julie Kuhn to explore a different way of journaling.. one that uses colour, movement, and playful marks instead of words.

We talk about how creative journaling can help you (and your clients) reconnect with yourself, let go of perfectionism, and process emotions in a way that feels freeing and pressure-free.

And if in the Grow Your Private Practice membership, keep an eye out. Julie will soon be running a creative journaling workshop where we’ll explore this together.

About Julie Kuhn:

Julie Kuhn is a Creative Arts Counsellor who blends traditional therapeutic approaches with creativity, nature, and expressive journaling to help people step into their true selves. She works with individuals who are ready to break free from people-pleasing, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with who they really are gently but powerfully.

She runs monthly workshops inside the Creative Counsellors membership and has contributed to Creative Counselling with Adults (The Creative Counselling Collection).

With a deep belief that healing doesn’t have to happen in neat sentences, Julie’s work centres around playful, out-of-the-box techniques that support self-awareness, emotional expression, and personal growth.

Creative journaling is at the heart of her practice, offering a pressure-free, empowering way to process emotions when words alone aren’t enough.

Julie regularly shares her expertise through monthly workshops inside the Creative Counsellors membership, inspiring therapists to explore creativity in their own work.

She has also contributed two creative interventions to Creative Counselling with Adults, part of The Creative Counselling Collection curated by Tanja Sharpe.

Whether she’s holding space for clients or guiding fellow therapists, Julie invites people to rediscover their voice, creativity, and inner strength, one playful mark at a time.
