Overview

I’m Rebecca Rowan, founder of Mindful Photography UK CIC, where I have been combining photography and wellbeing approaches since 2009 to support confidence, communication, employability and connection across communities and workplaces. My work brings together mindful photography, therapeutic photography and PhotoVoice methodologies in a trauma-informed, evidence-informed and accessible way, particularly for people who may feel isolated, overwhelmed or disconnected from employment pathways. Through creative, gentle sessions, participants build self-efficacy, routine, communication skills and confidence — all of which can positively impact employability, staff retention and long-term wellbeing. I hold a PGCert in Therapeutic Photography (Distinction), I am a qualified mindfulness teacher, qualified in PhotoVoice methodology, Mental Health First Aid trained, coaching qualified and a City & Guilds qualified tutor.
