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.
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!
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.
Please visit my “Courses and Events” page for more details: https://therapeuticphotography.uk/eventsactivity/
Sharing a short blog I wrote for the upcoming Photovoice conference. In it, I present thoughts about my journey into therapeutic photography and the cross over into photovoice and empowerment.

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.
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.
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!
I’m sharing the information below for anyone who might be interested in attending this great event which is being run by the very talented Alison Beaumont, a recent graduate from RGU’s Therapeutic Photography course.

I received this wonderful book today from the author and photographer, Kat Mahale, and I am very much looking forward to reading it. From what I have read so far I am very impressed – personal images, beautiful narratives, and Kat’s voice guides the reader through each conversation. Another fantastic contribution to the world of the therapeutic use of photography!
