We are thrilled to have been selected as a trusted delivery partner on Rise2Thrive a programme to support confidence within the people of North Yorkshire. *See below who we will be working with.
We will use therapeutic photography technique to help participants identify their strengths and support them to THRIVE!
Through selected themes, structured photography exercises, facilitated discussion and just getting outdoors we will work together as a group.
We have collaborated with numerous communities in North Yorkshire over the last 15 years and received so much positive feedback about our workshops. People feel connected, unjudged, safe, and inspired by the process.
I’m so glad I attended this session and feel more determined now that I did before!

Why does it work?
Mindful Photography is part of a wider process called Therapeutic Photography. We use this structure as a springboard to inspire authentic conversations, guiding individuals through thoughts, feelings, and emotions in a safe space. Many participants have found the act of capturing a photograph and considering the story behind it to be a thoughtful experience. Through Therapeutic Photography, these profound conversations unfold, with the participant retaining full control over the process and choosing what they are comfortable sharing. We begin by nurturing our visual awareness, encouraging individuals to pause, observe their surroundings, and use Mindful Photography to feel truly connected to the world around them.
I am Rebecca and I lead the sessions, I am trained in participatory photography technique by PhotoVoice and also achieved a distinction in the world’s first qualification in Therapeutic Photography. We work in partnership with organisations so that individuals feel comfortable and supported along the way.
