Feedback from participants of the 10 week online course on Therapeutic Photography

I am sharing some feedback I received for the inaugural run of my 10 week online skills based course on Therapeutic Photography.

This was the first one I have delivered since leaving Robert Gordon University last year where I designed and delivered the Post Graduate course on this topic. It was fantastic to be back in action with some very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, skilled, and passionate students.

I still have some space on my September course, and I will also be announcing new dates for 2026 soon. For more information, please visit my website at https://therapeuticphotography.uk/eventsactivity/

Healing Through Photography 2025

I’m delighted to announce that I have been invited to run a workshop, and to be involved in a discussion event, at the upcoming Healing Through Photography conference in April. The event 2 years ago was a fantastic opportunity to learn and share with this growing community, and I am sure this will be equally as vibrant and informative.

Exploring the self through photography

Delighted to see the publication of Andrea and Max’s “Arts-Based Coaching – Using Creative Tools to Promote Better Self-Expression”. I am pleased to say I contributed to this publication and wrote chapter 3 which is about exploring the self through photography. Needless to say, the other 16 chapters also look fascinating!

Course dates announced

I am delighted to announce dates for my brand new course on Therapeutic Photography! This 10 week course will be delivered online and will cover skills, theory, and practical considerations for anyone looking to incorporate therapeutic photography techniques into their own practice.

Symposium in Kibera, Nairobi, Kenya

From the 10th to the 13th June, 2024, I had the pleasure of attending and presenting at a symposium looking at community based organisations and best practice. Megan Ribbens and I hosted day 3 of the event where the focus was on using creativity and creative approaches to overcoming challenges. Amongst the presentations, we explored the use of photography as a tool for empowerment and advocacy, as well as self discovery.

2nd International Therapeutic Photography Symposium 2024 is over :( but you can revisit all the presentations…and more!

This is some of the feedback we received after the event. Such a fantastic response to this sell out evening. You can visit this link to watch a recording of the symposium, the individual presentations, and the additional Fringe Event recordings.
