Your Story, Your Journey, Your Rules.
I'm committed to creating a space where healing and wellbeing, meets creativity. Therapeutic Photography services empower individuals and small groups to explore, process, and celebrate their personal and collective stories through the art of photography. Not imprisoned by complex psychodynamic theory, in our practice, the focus is on the creative process itself and its transformative potential for wellbeing. What you create will speak for itself, and express what you need it to.
What is Therapeutic Photography?
Therapeutic photography recognises the healing potential of creative processes in promoting mental health and well-being. It uses the power of visual storytelling to foster well-being, self-reflection, and personal growth. Whether you're navigating life changes, healing from the past, or seeking a new way to express yourself, my approach provides a safe and supportive environment for exploration. This is not Therapy. This is a creative experience, that puts your needs at the centre. A collaboration between you and myself, that will provide you with the skills, artistic courage and insight to make a shift.
Who is it for?
Therapeutic photography is perfect for:
- Individuals seeking self-discovery and wellbeing.
- Groups or communities looking to share and connect through creative projects.
- Those managing stress, anxiety, or going through a transitional period in their life.
No photography experience is needed—just a willingness to explore and create.

How it Works
Individual Sessions
Work with me one-on-one to explore your story in a safe environment. Each session lasts an hour. Location is not a limitation. Your sessions can be online or in person. Rest easy knowing that everything is strictly confidential. Each session will be tailored to your individual needs, whether that is working on a technical aspect, developing your creative process, or tackling key themes or events in your life you wish to explore. The minimum package is a 5 session bundle. Once you have made your purchase you will be directed to my personal calender to book in your first session, and consultation.

Join others in creating meaningful photo projects, fostering connection and shared healing and wellbeing through photography. This course benefits from a blended learning approach, featuring both pre-recorded and live sessions, with essential activities for you to do in between, and weekly email support.
