Exploring Feelings – A Self-Reflection Tool

This interactive tool is designed to help you explore emotions in a creative, open-ended way. Choose an image that catches your attention, then follow the prompts to reflect on how it connects with your feelings. You can respond through free drawing, colouring, or marking sensations on a body outline. Nothing you create is saved or recorded. It’s purely for your own self-reflection.

You can use it on your own, or with a partner, friend, or family member. If you explore it together, agree to listen without criticism, judgement, or the need to “fix” anything. This is about noticing, expressing, and being curious, not about getting the “right” answer.

Sometimes it’s hard to know what we’re feeling, or even to find words for it. Emotions don’t always arrive as clear, named experiences. They can show up as a tightness in the chest, a vague unease, a sense of flatness, or a restless energy we can’t quite explain. Images can sometimes reach those places more easily than words, offering a way in that feels less exposing and more exploratory.

This tool reflects the way I often work in counselling, using images, creativity and metaphor to explore feelings in a safe, non-verbal way. With children, creative methods such as drawing or mapping sensations on a body outline can make it easier to express experiences that are hard to put into words. Adults sometimes find that creativity opens up new perspectives and helps bypass the inner critic. Whether it’s through art, stories or shared reflection, these approaches can make emotional exploration feel lighter, more accessible and less pressured.

The tool draws on a simple but powerful idea: that paying attention to what attracts or repels us in an image, and sitting with that response rather than rushing to interpret it, can tell us something useful about our inner world. There’s no analysis, no scoring, no right way to use it. Just a prompt to pause and notice.

If you feel this way of working might help you, you’re welcome to get in touch.
