Photo Art Therapy
is a journey back to yourself
through presence, imagery, and deep emotional experience.
Photo Art Therapy is not a photoshoot and not traditional therapy
It’s a carefully guided process where photography becomes a mirror reflecting your inner state
This experience is for you if…
you want to reconnect with your body and your sense of self-worth
you are in a life transition or inner shift
you want to feel self-trust and inner confidence
you’re tired of roles, masks, and expectations
Unlike traditional photography or therapy,
Photo Art Therapy works on the level of presence, emotion, and embodiment using the image as a reflection of your inner state.
You don’t leave with just photographs.
You leave with:
emotional clarity
a felt sense of yourself
reconnection with your body
images that become anchors of your inner state
a deeper relationship with who you are
many people leave the session feeling deeply inspired
The method
Photo Art Therapy is an author’s method created from years of working with people, emotion, imagery, and presence. It is a guided experiential process where the image becomes a mirror, reflecting what is alive within you in the present moment.
Each session unfolds uniquely, based on where you are and what is alive within you.

Meet the Guide
My name is Olya Helga, and I’m here to see you and to hold the mirror that reminds you of your wholeness and self-worth.
I create a safe, grounded space where you can slow down, let go of roles and expectations, and meet yourself again.
I’ve been on this journey myself.
Through my own experiences and years of working with people who carry a fear of being seen as they truly are, I discovered photography as a powerful tool. Not to change how we look, but to remind us of the beauty that already exists, both within and without.
Through years of working with people and imagery, I came to understand that the most meaningful moments happen not when we try to look better, but when we allow ourselves to be fully present.
I believe in the power of human connection, in deep and honest presence, and in the kind of closeness that allows us to remember who we are.
I’m here to hold that space and to walk alongside you in this process.
Photo Art Therapy was born from this understanding.

“This experience was deeply special and stayed with me long after the session ended. Being the focus of Olya’s attention made me face my insecurities and question how I see myself and how I want to be seen. There were no poses or masks, only presence.I n that openness, I felt both powerful and vulnerable. What was captured was not just an image, but an essence, a glimpse of who I really am”
Natalia
“The experience Olya created during our session was truly special and profound.
Even though it was my very first photo session, I felt incredibly relaxed and comfortable in her presence, almost like reconnecting with an old friend.
She has a gift for creating a safe and beautiful atmosphere where you can let go, connect with your body, and express your femininity.
From the music to the outfits, every detail was thoughtfully curated to help women feel radiant, sensual, and completely themselves.
I’m deeply grateful for this experience. Olya truly helps women see their own uniqueness reflected back at them.”

Since our first session, I’ve trusted her deeply, knowing I was in the hands of someone both talented and genuinely connected to her work.
What makes the experience so special is the intuitive, soulful way she approaches each session, holding a vision of beauty and harmony throughout.
It’s a rare gift to meet someone who works with such passion and presence, and I’m deeply grateful to have experienced it.”
Sasha
“I thought it would be just a photoshoot,
but it became one of the most soul-touching and healing experiences I’ve ever had. Olya didn’t simply take photos, she created a sacred space for me to meet myself. Through her lens, I truly saw myself, and my eyes filled with tears.
Because for the first time in a long time, I was able to see the beauty I often miss.
The softness. The strength. The truth of me. It felt like soul therapy. Like a deep remembering. Like coming home to myself.
Thank you, Olya.
You are more than a photographer.
You are a mirror, an artist of truth, and a gentle guide back to the essence.”
Anastasia
“Shooting with Olya was more than just a photoshoot.
It felt like a journey back to my true self.
Through her presence, deep questions, and gentle guidance, I felt truly seen, safe, and beautifully free.
She helped me peel off the layers and reconnect with my feminine essence in a way I had never experienced before.
This was a deeply soul-opening experience, and I believe every woman deserves to feel this kind of connection with herself.
Thank you, Olya.”
Kate
“From the moment I stepped into the Photo Art Therapy session with Olya, I knew this was something much more than a photoshoot.
It felt like a journey back to myself.
In the quiet space she created, I felt safe to breathe, to feel, and to be seen.
This experience is not about posing or looking pretty. It’s about healing.
Through movement, emotion, and presence, my body became the focus, holding pain, strength, and memories.
Olya gently guided me, helping me open up and let go. She understood without me needing to explain.
Through her lens, I was able to see myself differently, not broken, but in the process of becoming. She didn’t just take photos, she witnessed me.
And it was deeply healing.”
