New dates announced for 2027

Hi all – I have been very quiet for a few months, but also very busy in my practice. The last 10 week facilitator course ended in April, and participants were very generous in their feedback. I was aware that I have run 3 full courses now, and I was keen to find out how it was being received by participants, and what could be changed going forward.

I have now taken time to reflect and am happy to announce the date for the next (fourth) run of my 10 week facilitator training course. The course will begin on the 1st Feb 2027 and run for 10 weeks. I will have newly recorded lectures, interactive exercises, and we will also schedule live group tutorials where we can take a deeper dive into the exercises to get the full therapeutic experience from our images.

Therapy/Counselling

Leave a reply

I am delighted to announce that from this Summer (2025) I will be offering 1 to 1 therapy/counselling appointments. As a qualified pluralistic therapist, I work collaboratively with my clients to use approaches that work best for them. I can draw on a number of modalities and creative techniques, and I have been using photography as a tool with clients to great effect.

Being based in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, I can meet clients face to face in Banchory where I have a meeting room, but I am also skilled at working online, and welcome clients from out with the area (and international clients). I am registered and insured and have included information on my web site about qualifications.

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

Leave a reply

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

Leave a reply

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.

Symposium in Kibera, Nairobi, Kenya

Leave a reply

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.

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!
