I'm Rebecca, and I am founder of Mindful Photography UK a community interest organisation based in North Yorkshire UK.

I'm here to help you stay calm, focused and motivated as you explore mindful and therapeutic photography techniques.

Collaborating with individuals, groups, and organisations, I lead photography projects aimed at promoting well-being. Responding to community demand, we have initiated our online workshops again this year.

How did it start for me?

From 2009 I developed my own model for combining photography and well-being to mental health-based partners within the city of York. I then went onto lead a York Mind mental health project in rural North Yorkshire which provided support for up to twenty participants; using creativity to help manage mental health difficulty and reduce social isolation.

I love photography, being creative, walking, fresh air and so sharing mindful photography has to be the perfect job for me! I am trained in Mental Health First Aid, Narrative4, I have completed a training course in participatory photography by PhotoVoice™, I am a City and Guilds qualified tutor, trauma-informed facilitator and have attained a distinction in the world’s first qualification at Robert Gordon University in PG Cert Therapeutic Photography. I have delivered hundreds of Mindful Photography workshops in community settings, on a 1:1 basis or online and now we would love to share the process with you too.

As a Community Interest Company, our focus is on serving the community and supporting individuals who may be facing challenges. Our priority is to make these courses accessible to all, therefore if appropriate, we will be offering a number of places at a lower cost keep an eye on our facebook page or email us for more details at rebecca@mindfulphotography.org.uk.
