I am sharing an amazing new free resource made available by Tiffany Fairey and Ingrid Guyon which focuses on how photography can be used to foster peace, dialogue and non-violent civil resistance.

Podcast – Creative Therapy
Sharing a link for a podcast I recorded recently. Sophia Elle interviewed me for her programme, Creative Therapy, on all things Therapeutic Photography. It was an interesting chat, and free to listen to at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmKTHKZbajE
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.
Countdown to the 2nd International Therapeutic Photography Symposium 2024…and a pre symposium treat!
This Friday the 26th April I will be hosting the 2nd International Therapeutic Photography Symposium with my friend and co-therapeutic photographer, Ruth Davey. We have some fantastic presentations for you on at the event which will also be recorded and made available on YouTube for free afterwards. We had a large number of submissions to present and, alas, we could not accept everyone, so we asked a select few to record presentations for us to present outwith the symposium…a kind of Fringe event 🙂
I am delighted to present the first of these Fringe presentations to you. I would like to introduce Rosalinda Chaves from DESPHOCO in Portugal. Rosalinda is a clinical and health psychologist and presents her latest therapeutic photography project. Enjoy!
