📸 What is Therapeutic Photography?
Therapeutic Photography is a guided, creative process that uses photography to promote self-reflection, increase self-esteem, build resilience, and develop greater self-awareness. It’s not about being a professional photographer—it's about seeing differently and connecting more deeply with your experiences.

Be registered with the Rise to Thrive programme (via your keyworker). If you’re not yet signed up, please contact rebecca@mindfulphotography.org.uk.
- A camera or smartphone
- A stable internet connection
- Commitment to attend all six weekly sessions
- Willingness to complete short reflective photography exercises between sessions
- Prior and regular attendance at a Mindful Photography UK session either online or face to face
🌱 What you'll gain:
A deeper understanding of yourself through guided exploration
Support from an experienced and qualifed coach and facilitator in therapeutic photography, alongside a small group of peers
Strategies to manage stress, build confidence, and increased visual awareness
“The meaning of the photos changed for me as the project progressed; I reflected on the reason I’d uploaded them and sometimes saw other meanings in them. I managed to process quite a lot and became motivated in other areas of my life, areas where I was struggling… I actually started to get stuff done !”
Quote from participant, January 2021.
