Take Notice
When was the last time you actually felt the texture of a wall, breathed in the smell of a woodland or just sat and truly listened to the sound of the sea or birdsong? Mindful Photography encourages you to do this and make a lasting and meaningful change in your life. When the senses are more engaged, you can start to take more notice and slow down.
What is therapeutic photography?
Mindful Photography forms part of a wider process called Therapeutic Photography where you can explore more about yourself in a safe and structured way. Therapeutic sessions are a way to increase self-knowledge, self-esteem, self-efficacy and resilience in an effective and accessible way.
Slow down, take notice and nurture awareness with Rebecca
You are in control
Mindful Photography, sometimes known as contemplative photography, allows you to take some time out and begin to nurture awareness in yourself and your surroundings. Our previous participants notice that their anxiety levels reduce, they become more patient and motivated in their daily lives. Once learnt, this technique can be practiced when you feel you need some reflective time to yourself.
Mindful Photography is accessible to everyone
Spending time in nature is beneficial because it allows you to become more grounded, relaxed and re-energised. We provide a welcoming environment that offers you the chance to try a new technique. Using the five natural senses we explore the connections between well-being and nature in a safe environment.

We worked with Vicky during Rise to Thrive as she recovered from years of domestic abuse. We were privileged to support her and help her see the colour in her life. Vicky now supports her community by referring women to our project.
