Tarot therapy combines traditional counselling or “talk-therapy”, with the 78 cards of the tarot.

Like art therapy, or music therapy, using the tarot cards in a therapeutic setting can expand our understanding of the topics, emotions, relationships, and identities explored in counselling.

The 78 cards each have unique imagery, symbolism, and messages, which can give us valuable therapeutic insight.

How Does It Work?

In a tarot therapy session, the cards add to our conversation.

Drawing a card - either at random, or by deliberate choice - to represent a situation, can provide us with a visual language, symbolism, and metaphors to explore. “A picture speaks a thousand words”, and so this collection of pictures can often help to fill in gaps, when words fail us.

We can closely explore the meaning of specific cards, and look at the ways we might integrate their lessons into our daily lives.

Benefits of Tarot Therapy

Stimming- and Sensory-Friendly

All my clients are welcome to shuffle and stim with a deck of cards during our sessions. This can be really help for:

• Clients who enjoy kinetic or physical sensory inputs,

• Clients who prefer minimal eye contact,

• Clients who like visual input during a conversation

Great For Creatives

Many artists, designers and other creatives connect with the tarot. For people who often communicate non-verbally in their creative pursuits, the visual imagery of the tarot can provide a helpful pathway for discussing emotions and issues that are hard to convey in words.

A Skill For Life

I teach my clients how to use the tarot for their own insight and emotional processing. The tarot can be a great part of our self-care toolkit; a place we turn to, when we want to check-in with ourselves, make a decision, or understand our feelings.
