How it works

How A Place to Land works.

A private written space, read and responded to by Teri, three days a week.

Why writing

Time, privacy, and someone who reads properly.

The strength of the format is time and privacy. Face to face there is no room to think. Here you write in private, at your own pace, and only what you choose to send reaches Teri.

There is no live back-and-forth. Teri reads what you send properly, three days a week, and responds to what feels most alive in it rather than working through every point.

A block ends on a stated date, with a closing reflection from Teri, and you choose whether to book again.

Step by step

What happens, in order.

  1. A quiet armchair by a curtained window in early morning light.
    01

    Choose a block.

    An introductory week to see how it feels, available once. Then one month or three months. One payment, nothing renews, and your block ends on a stated date.

  2. Someone writing in a notebook at a kitchen table by lamp light.
    02

    Write when life is actually happening.

    Write whenever you like, day or night, as much or as little as feels right. There is no correct way to do this. What you write stays private to you, and nobody reads it, including Teri, until you choose to send it to her.

  3. A partly open interior door with warm light across the floorboards.
    03

    Teri reads and responds.

    Teri reads and responds on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Anything received before 10am UK time on one of those days is included in that day's responses. Anything after 10am rolls over to the next response day. The space is not monitored 24 hours a day, and there is no live back-and-forth.

  4. Two wooden chairs in an open grassy clearing at dusk.
    04

    A closing reflection, then you choose.

    At the end of your block Teri writes you a closing reflection. Everything you have written stays yours to read. If you want to continue, you choose one month or three months. Nothing renews on its own.

What Teri does

Receives. Reflects. Never pushes.

Teri receives rather than fixes. She reads every word you send with care, reflects back what she is hearing, notices what may be sitting underneath, and gently helps you explore what feels most important. She takes no side and gives no homework. Every response is written by Teri herself, in her own words, to you. No templates, no copying and pasting. She has her own life to juggle, so when she is away you will see the dates before you send anything.

Privacy in depth

Only what you choose to send reaches Teri.

Your private space is private to you. Teri reads only what you send her, and nobody else reads any of it. Nothing you write is shared with anybody.

A block, not a subscription.

Support is bought in blocks. Begin with an introductory week, available once, then choose one month or three months.

An introductory week
£39

Available once, to see how it feels.

One month
£195

Four weeks of writing, read and answered.

Three months
£525

Twelve weeks, with room to go deeper.

Your block ends on a stated date and you are invited to choose again, not charged again. Nothing rolls on by itself, and you can pause whenever you need to. If cost is what stands in the way, write to us and ask about a funded place. There is no form and no means test, and a funded place looks and feels exactly like any other.

Twenty places at a time

Teri holds twenty places so that everybody is properly heard. When all twenty are taken, you can put your name down instead of paying, and we write to you the moment a place opens. Names are taken in order, and an offer is held for a fortnight so you have time to decide. Nobody is turned away, and you can come off the list at any time with one click.

Somewhere safe enough for truth.
