Therapeutic photography
Using photography for wellbeing
The camera is a tool to view the world, that world can be our local environment, daily life, moments in a day.
Mindful photography practice allows us to be more present in the moment and to develop an awareness of how we look to then see in that moment with greater clarity and connectedness. This approach supports wellbeing, connection, engagement and being in the present. It is something I practice in my own life and want to share with others.
As well as applying my own life experience, love of photography and creative jumping through hoops… I have undertaken professional practice training with Ruth Davey of Look Again Mindful Photography (2024), as well as a PG Certificate in Therapeutic Photography (Distinction) from Robert Gordon University (2024-2025)

Visit my FB group for a friendly connection with mindful photography. More Than Looking explores seeing the world in a considered and therapeutic way. With a monthly prompt to use your camera phone, and guest hosts, it’s a lovely way to keep yourself engaged with making photos and taking a little time out for yourself.
Mindful Photography draws on the established practice of mindfulness and Therapeutic Photography for wellbeing. It can help with self-awareness, relaxing, resilience, self-efficacy, and engaging more fully in our surroundings and everyday life.
