"Louise Coigley's dedication to her craft, her understanding and love of story and people result in a uniquely empathic, entertaining performer, workshop leader who uses stories as seamless healers.

She has a dynamic and infectious warmth. I would heartily recommend her to anyone seeking to bring storytelling alive in a profound and enlightening way.

To know her and her work over the years has been an inspiration''.

David D. Campbell,Storyteller, Poet, Writer and Broadcaster

Lis'n Tell! : Live Inclusive Storytelling is a practical, imaginative and versatile approach to communication development.

Lis'n Tell evolved through my work with children and adults with special needs, with whom I lived for ten years.

I learnt how to tell a story and include, affirm and develop their responses. They taught me how to become more sensitive and inventive.

During this time I realised how storytelling can reach people with special needs, like no other medium can...

The principles and approach of Lis'n Tell can be applied to children and adults with a very wide variety of communication challenges. Please see the factsheet for more details or contact me....

Lis'n Tell works through rhythm and role, rhyme, repetition and ritual. It employs sensory and simple voice and gesture techniques which help the teller get to and convey the heart of the story to the hearts of the listeners.

This intensively inclusive method facilitates,involves and expands the verbal and non verbal responses of the listeners, who evolve as tellers in their own unique ways.

Storytelling featured on Radio 4 in Word of Mouth - August :

There are as many ways of telling a story as there are people in the world.
