About this event
Mindful photography is a gentle and creative practice that uses the camera as a way to slow down, pay attention, and explore what’s present, both around you and within you. These online sessions are designed to support people navigating grief, using guided photography prompts, journaling, and reflection to help you connect with your emotions, your memories, and your sense of self.
You don’t need to be a photographer or have any special equipment, just a phone or camera and a willingness to explore. Each 90-minute session offers a safe, supportive space to pause, see differently, and tend to your grief through image-making, conversation, and meaning-making. Whether your loss is recent or long ago, these sessions meet you where you are.
Each session explores one of five grief-focused themes from my Grief in Focus model:
- SEE – Slowing down to notice what’s really there in your grief.
- FEEL – Making space for emotions without being overwhelmed.
- TEND – Supporting yourself with care, comfort, and steadiness.
- HONOUR – Staying connected to what’s been lost through memory and meaning.
- REIMAGINE – Gently exploring who you're becoming and what's possible next.

Frequently asked questions
Not at all. These sessions are about using your camera (or phone) as a way to slow down and pay attention, not about taking technically perfect photos. There’s no judgement, no right or wrong image—just a chance to see what’s really there and respond to it.
Any kind of camera is fine—even a phone. You don’t need fancy equipment or editing apps. The focus is on the process, not the result.
No, this isn’t therapy, but it is therapeutic. These sessions are designed to be supportive, reflective, and creative. I’m a qualified coach with a background in social work and grief education, and I hold the space gently—but it’s not the same as formal counselling or therapy.
Each session includes a grounding activity, a short teaching or reflection, guided photography prompts, time to take photos, space for journaling, and optional group sharing. You’re welcome to take part in whatever way feels right for you.
No. You’re always welcome to share, but there’s no pressure at all. This is your time and your space. Whether you speak or stay quiet, you’re just as welcome.
Any kind. People come with all sorts of experiences—bereavement, relationship loss, life changes, health losses, estrangement, and more. You don’t need to justify your grief or explain it. If you’re feeling it, it matters.
You’re welcome to attend as many or as few sessions as you like. Each session stands alone, with its own theme and prompts. Some people come once, some come regularly—it’s up to you.
These sessions are small group workshops, usually with 6–10 participants.
It’s okay to feel whatever you feel here. There’s no expectation to hold it together or be ‘okay.’ I’ll guide you through the session with care, and you can always step away if you need to. You’ll never be pushed to go further than you’re ready for.
Yes—though it depends on what you’re needing. These sessions aren’t overwhelming, but they do invite reflection and emotional presence. If that feels supportive for you, you’re welcome to join, whether your loss is recent or long ago.
