Σύνοψη	Visual Elicitation Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (VE-IPA) combines the idiographic, sense-making framework of Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis with visual elicitation techniques — photographs, participant-produced drawings, or other images — to deepen access to lived experience. Visuals serve as concrete anchors that help participants articulate feelings and meanings that are difficult to express in words alone, making the approach especially productive for embodied, emotional, or tacit dimensions of experience.	Narrative analysis is a qualitative research method, synthesised canonically by Catherine Kohler Riessman (2008), that examines how individuals storise their lived experiences and construct meaning through the telling. Drawing on life history, biographical, and narrative inquiry traditions, it treats the story itself — not just its content — as the unit of analysis, attending to temporal sequence, plot structure, and the social context in which a narrative is produced.
