What can tarot offer in a therapy room, without turning therapy esoteric?
In this episode, Johanne talks with Elizabeth Ritchie, an EMDR-certified and IFS-trained counsellor, about using tarot imagery as a reflective tool with clients who are open to it. They explore how images can help clients connect with parts of themselves, find a way into experiences that are difficult to put into words, and create new space for reflection.
Elizabeth shares examples from her practice, including how she introduces the cards, when she might choose not to use them, and how she keeps the client’s own meaning and agency at the centre. The conversation also touches on trauma-informed work, online sessions, client choice, and the difference between exploring what an image brings up and treating it as a prediction.
To finish, Elizabeth pulls a card for Johanne, offering a small glimpse of how this kind of image-based reflection can unfold.
