Product Overview

Picture This is a versatile set of 75 full-colour photo cards designed to capture life’s universal themes and experiences. With evocative and interpretive imagery, the cards provide a powerful way to explore feelings, values, and stories – making them an invaluable tool for counsellors, teachers, social workers, psychologists, families, and community groups.

Unlike text-based tools, Picture This relies on contemporary photography, giving participants the freedom to interpret and connect with each image in their own way. This makes it particularly effective in culturally and linguistically diverse settings, where visual prompts can transcend language and open new pathways for communication.

Every set comes with bonus access to the Picture This Digital Toolbox – including the full set of digital cards, booklet, and an ever-growing collection of blogs, card hacks, and activity ideas you can use anywhere.

Seeing Ourselves in the Images — A Reflection with Picture This

“I love using Picture This with my clients and marvel at the ways people can see themselves in the photographs.

For one client, the image of the letterboxes revealed so many aspects of themselves. The peeling paint and rust reminded them of a time they felt vulnerable; the sturdy wooden letterbox symbolised strength and resilience. They also used the card to express feelings of emptiness, being lost, fragile, and messy.

These cards represent a wide spectrum of emotions—strengths and vulnerabilities—from places of dread to places of hope.”

Heather, Family Support Counsellor, NZ
Using “Picture This” with Young People

‘I recently used Picture This cards with an adolescent expressing suicidal thoughts. The images he chose revealed powerful insights:

Hay bales — “No matter what I do I can’t please Dad.”

Burning house & crashed car — “My life is crashing and burning.”

Shredded paper — “I feel confused and messed up.”

Snowy road — “I’m always walking alone.”

Crowd — “I want to be the one people focus on.”

The session uncovered deep emotions and led to a referral for further counselling.’

Janine Mitchell, Youth Pathways Advisor
Using “Picture This” in Staff Development

‘At Leeds Metropolitan University’s staff development festival, I used the new edition Strength Cards in a workshop on Emotionally Intelligent Leadership. Participants identified five personal talents and shared them in small groups, sparking rich discussion about why it’s hard to talk about strengths and how that affects leadership.

Later, I introduced Picture This cards to explore self-control. The images inspired creative, reflective conversations and made a stunning display—people even wanted to take them home! Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and I’ll be using these resources again in the Advanced Facilitators program later this year.’
