1-1 and Group Workshops in Psychotherapy and Life-coaching-integrated card reading
1-1 Tarot Coaching in developing insights into your current situation, family and relationship dynamics to help you move forward with greater meaning and purpose.
Group workshops to help you read the cards for yourself to gain greater insight your relationship, family, career and work.
Group workshops to help you read the cards for others with greater confidence and insight.
You can gain deeper insights into your identity, relationships, career direction, self-concept and relational attachment dynamics. The tarot exploration dovetails with psychotherapy focusing on the here-and-now meaning and aligns with trauma-informed practice: safety, pacing, agency and structured meaning-making.
In our work together, the cards offer symbolic themes and patterns that help you reflect on your current situation and consider options in your life with greater clarity and self-awareness.
For clients interested in deeper psychological support, counselling, psychotherapy and life-coaching approaches into creativity and self-expression, visit www.martinhandy.co.uk.
Many clients come because:
- They want greater clarity in relationships, career or life direction.
- They’re curious about how past influences continue to influence the present.
- They want to understand and transform recurring internal or relationship conflicts.
- They value a psychologically grounded, reflective space rather than predictive readings.

Online & In-person Psychodynamic Tarot Coaching
About
My work is grounded in counselling, psychotherapy and trauma-informed practice. In integrate these with the symbolic richness of the Swiss Marseille Tarot to support deep self-exploration and meaningful insights.
Rather than offer predictions about what will happen, I use the tarot as a reflective and experiential tool – to help you surface themes, understand internal dynamics, and examine relational and family systems patterns that influence your present life. This approach is informed by:
- Trauma-informed care
- Attachmnt and family systems perspectives
- Person-centred and depth psychology
- Integrative psychotherapy and reflective enquiry
The Swiss Marseille Tarot tradition supports a symbolic, narrative exploration of where you are now – your strengths, conflicts, hopes and recurring patterns – so you can clarify what matters most and take steps that truly align with your values and goals.

Asking the Right Question
Asking the right question is important to help you get the most out of the cards. Here are just some questions to help you get started:
How can I get out of repetitive patterns in my relationships and find a relationship that really works in a healthy way?
What could I do to help me get out of this stuckness in my family and create more positive exchanges and change?
What is holding me back in the past in my business and career so I can create more success and generate more income?
I have written a more detailed article about phrasing questions in my blog below.
1-1 Psychodynamic Therapeutic Tarot Sessions Available
Clients are welcome to come for personal consultations to explore specific areas of their life situations such as relationships, family, work, career and life direction.

Irene Torres of Naipes Artesanos
I use the Swiss Marseille Deck designed and painted by Irene Torres of Naipes Artesanos (Playing Card Artesans) in Spain as a reflective and meaning-making tool to help you explore the themes and patterns shaping your experience here and now. Unlike fortune-telling or prediction, this work invites you to deepen self-understanding, clarify your values and make grounded choices that align with your life goals and well-being.
Whether you are navigating relational patterns, family systems influences, career transitions, or unresolved emotional blocks, this approach creates a safe space for reflection and insight. Together, we explore the stories your life is telling you – so you can transform awareness into action with confidence and agency.
The cards communicate on many levels – biological, psychological, social and spiritual. Irene has been kind enough to let me display her cards on my website and I hope the pictures here allow you all to see how wonderful they are. They are hand painted in watercolour and then burnished on the most beautiful card stock. Do explore the video above and Irene’s website below.
I offer a blog page for articles and recordings.
You can find healing meditations to help you relax, connect and heal.
