Photography for Wellbeing

Photography can help us slow down, notice the ordinary, and reconnect with the present moment. Through mindful observation and image-making, everyday moments can become invitations for reflection, insight, and self-discovery.

Explore how photography can offer an accessible and meaningful way into creative and reflective practice that supports your wellbeing.

Moments

Some moments ask nothing of us except that we notice them.

Inner Lens

Inner Lens is a reflective creative methodology I have developed through my work as a creative arts therapist and my personal engagement with photography.

Through the rhythm of noticing, creating, and reflecting, photography is a way in to insight, connection, and personal meaning, alongside other creative and reflective practices.

How creative arts therapy can help you

Actively exploring your inner world by accessing your imagination and innate creativity helps you better understand who you are, how you function, what matters to you, and what you want for yourself. Self-understanding is essential for generating change and becoming the best version of you.

Everyday challenges can impact your whole being, creating a sense of disconnection from yourself, your work, and your world.

Engaging in the creative arts, in the presence of a trained professional, allows you to access your inner resources and explore what is happening and what it may mean for you.

How we will work together

Where and what you need

We’ll meet online via Zoom. All you need is a digital device, internet, and some basic creative materials. I’ll provide a suggested list. You don’t need to buy anything fancy; often the best materials are already around your home.

My role

I will treat you with respect and value who you are, keeping my focus on your needs. I honour that you are the expert in your own life. I walk alongside you, witnessing your process, supporting your self-expression, and helping you make meaning of what emerges.

I draw on a variety of creative modalities, including photography, visual arts, writing, music, movement, and reflective exercises. Together we’ll discover the combination that works best for you.

Your role

Your role is just as important. Being open, willing to try new things, and committing to the process helps you gain the most from your sessions. This work is about your journey, your insights, and your growth. The creative practices provide a safe space to reflect, express, and connect with yourself.

In-person or online

While I work predominantly online, I also occasionally deliver group sessions in the community and contracted workshops in-person.
