lis.strations can help visualise the working mechanisms behind your practice to your clients in form of adorable cartoons and illustrations.
Why visual science communication as means to explain psychology?
Welcome to a new way of communicating psychology, where visuals bring clarity and warmth to the science behind mental health. I create tailored illustrations and cartoons to help psychologists convey complex concepts, from therapeutic techniques to mental health conditions, in a way that clients can easily understand and relate to. These visuals demystify topics like cognitive-behavioral therapy, attachment styles, and mindfulness, making it easier for clients to engage actively in their treatment. By normalising mental health conversations and breaking down intimidating concepts, visuals can build knowledge and trust surrounding psychology. Research shows that we process images faster than text, so using visuals means clients grasp key insights quickly, allowing psychologists to bridge knowledge gaps and make treatment feel more approachable.

headstart coaching | LOOVANZ resilience concept
For her business Headstart Coaching, systemic coach and trainer Diana needed a clear, engaging visual to explain the LOOVANZ framework that guides her resilience coaching. This concept, which highlights seven key aspects of resilience, is central to her approach. Through a custom illustration, these seven elements came to life, offering clients a relatable and easily understandable view of resilience-building—making each aspect feel accessible and personal.

Originally, lis.strations began as a creative outlet on Instagram during the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing me to process the experience through a personal and psychological lens. Today, the account has grown into a collection of cartoons covering a wide array of psychological topics. Here, you’ll find cartoons specifically crafted to explore and illuminate concepts in psychology:

You can find these and more on my Instagram, @lis.strations !
For my own dissertation, I chose to create cartoons as a way to summarize and share my research, making it accessible to non-academic audiences—like my own family! Through these cartoons, I break down the core theories, methodologies, and findings of my work. I even illustrated myself as a guide, leading readers through each section of the dissertation. This visual approach invites people outside of academia to engage with complex ideas in a friendly and understandable way.
