“The children were engaged from start to finish and loved contributing to the story. We can’t wait to book another session.”

Primary school teacher

“As a prize-winning author and winner of the Stratford Literary Festival and Salariya Publishing Literary prizes, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside many talented individuals in the creative and literary worlds. Among them, Meg stands out as an exceptional author, actress and counsellor whose energy, creativity and deep empathy make her a truly unique force."

"Meg is the founder of a remarkable company that that delivers imaginative, fun focused, low pressure workshops in schools."

"What sets Meg apart is her sensitivity to every child she works with. Whether a child is naturally confident or more reserved, she instinctively understands how to meet them where they are. Her workshops are joyful, always inclusive, never overwhelming, and always grounded in kindness".

"I cannot recommend Meg highly enough. She brings rare talent, insight, and heart to everything she does, and any child or school lucky enough to work with her will feel the benefit."

Jo SurmanPrize winning author

“Meg first joined Playbox as a young member, and even then, she stood out as one of the most talented, kindhearted, and generous people I have encountered."

"From an early age, Meg demonstrated a rare blend of emotional intelligence, creativity, and deep empathy."

"She was not only a gifted performer but also someone who consistently supported others, bringing a sense of calm, loyalty, and encouragement to every project she was involved in."

"Meg’s decision to establish a new venture that merges her background in counselling and therapy with creative approaches seems like a natural evolution of who she is."

"Meg brings warmth, integrity, and a deeply compassionate approach to everything she does. She is someone who works tirelessly, always seeking to uplift others, and she carries a genuine commitment to making a positive difference."

"I have no doubt that her new endeavour will be guided by intelligence, emotional insight, and a profound sense of care. I support Meg entirely; she is a person of rare integrity and inspiration”.

Emily QuashArtistic Director of Playbox Theatre, Warwick

“Meg was a passionate and instinctive actor from the start – open, imaginative, and deeply connected to the power of storytelling. It’s no surprise to see her channelling that creativity into such a meaningful and innovative venture. The impact of creative work on young people’s development, self-expression and emotional wellbeing cannot be overstated- and Meg is the ideal person to lead that kind of work with heart and purpose”.

“As a retired Deputy Headteacher, prior to this post Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator, in a Secondary School, I would have welcomed this new approach which reaches out to young people to explore their feelings and face their anxieties and concerns in such a sensitive and innovative way”.

Josie LloydNorth Leamington Secondary School

"Time and again, we have seen the incredible impact of music and creativity on the minds and lives of young people, from those with special needs to those facing other challenges in their lives. The arts literally can change the lives of these young people and this programme is clearly going to have a huge effect on those whom it reaches".
