Therapeutic Tarot offers a space to explore your life deeply with beautiful symbolism and artwork as your guide. I offer ongoing or one-off sessions, where we work with the powerful images of the Tarot in a very visual way. These sessions are not fortune-telling sessions, but rather they are person-centred sessions in which we explore the powerful symbolism of the tarot as co-readers. Therapeutic Tarot sessions can help you to explore any area of life, such as work and relationships; we can also explore deep emotions and your spiritual life, too. One 50-minute session can offer clarity and inspire revelation.

I am an endorsed, professional reader with TABI (Tarot Association of the British Isles). I can also combine Tarot with counselling if you feel that you may need more regular support. I am a qualified and experienced person-centred counsellor with a wealth of experience.

Whatever you believe is happening within these tarot sessions is entirely up to you: you may see it as a spiritual experience or a psychological process. I see it as both!

You can book a free 20-minute consultation if you plan to have long term support (eg five or more sessions). If, you would like to book 1-4 sessions, feel free book your slot directly at the bottom of this page.

Here is a breakdown of my Tarot offerings:

Online (one-hour) sessions are £55 and you can also book a block of four discounted one-hour sessions further down the page.

In-person sessions happen in the Art and Spirituality Centre in Edinburgh, Scotland for £60 per session. Please email me to arrange at stephen@naturetherapyonline.net (rather than booking directly down the page.)

Email readings are available through Etsy. (These are less collaborative and more intuitive by nature.)

"It has been a really life-enhancing experience for me and I've really grown attached to using the Tarot in therapy sessions, they really tap into something for me that helps me to process in a different and more creative way. I have really appreciated your wisdom, experience, and gentle and containing approach.” (Tarot Therapy client after a block of 8 sessions)

“Thank you for such an insightful and well-structured session. Our reading was beautifully interactive and responsive to my hopes, goals and personal insights whilst being built on the firm and grounding foundation of Stephen's knowledge and expertise. The cards we drew were really relevant to my current challenge and offered some clear guidance as well as further food for thought.” I would highly recommend Stephen's way of offering a reading to anyone who is curious or maybe has a situation or question they would like some fresh insight on. An added bonus was the beautiful cards Stephen uses, imbued with the wonder of the natural world around us.” (Tarot Therapy Client after a single session)

I offer person-centred, Buddhist-informed ecotherapy sessions outdoors in woodlands in Midlothian, Scotland.

These sessions offer a talking space for you to explore any issues in your life that require healing. You may require a simple listening space, or we can incorporate other healing approaches such as meditation and myth work into the process, always connecting with nature during the process.

I am a qualified and experienced person-centred counsellor. I have over 15 years of experience working with LGBTQ+ people and I also have experience working with depression, anxiety, loneliness, abuse and many other issues. I am registered in the UK with the NCPS and I am fully insured.

Weekly or fortnightly sessions are recommended to begin with, and you can have as many sessions as feel right for you. If you are looking for longer-term support, please book a free 20-minute consultation (below). If you are new to my ecotherapy sessions, please book a free assessment before booking a paid session; we will meet online and chat about your needs before going ahead.

If you have already had an assessment with me, and you would like to book a paid session, 50-minute sessions can be booked via the link at the bottom of this page. They cost £55 per session, or you can book a discounted block of four.

Please note that these sessions are in-person only (not online). Location options are in Temple or Gorebridge in Midlothian, Scotland.

“Ecotherapy with Stephen has helped me reduce anxiety levels in my life and released me to explore my real self while immersed in nature. I have not changed but I feel infinitely more balanced and content.” (A long-term ecotherapy client who attended regular outdoor sessions in Midlothian over several years)

I have 20 years of experience as a counsellor, and I work primarily from a Person-Centred perspective. This means that I trust in your ability to find your own solutions, without the need for advice. My approach helps you to find your wise, inner voice – which I believe we all have – by offering an empathic and non-judgemental space with someone who truly listens.

I am a fully qualified counsellor and a member of NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society). My counselling sessions offer you a space to talk through anything that is on your mind; perhaps things that feel impossible to talk about deeply with others in your life. I am down to earth and open-minded and I have extensive experience working with sexuality and gender identity. As well as this, I respect and embrace the spiritual aspect of our lives and this kind of exploration is very welcome. I can incorporate meditation, nature connection and tarot into our sessions if that appeals. However, if you simply want a supportive space with someone who is truly listening, that is fine too: you lead the way.

I primarily offer sessions online (via the Google Meet platform, which is similar to Zoom). However, if you live in Midlothian I can meet you outdoors for ecotherapy (see my other section on ecotherapy for more information).

Weekly or fortnightly sessions are recommended to begin with, and you can have as many sessions as you feel is right. If you are looking for longer-term support, please book a free 20-minute consultation (below) before we begin.

If you have already had an assessment with me, and you would like to book a paid session, 50-minute sessions can be booked via the link at the bottom of this page. They cost £55 per session, or you can book a discounted block of four.

“I found Stephen to be very supportive and empathic. He held the space beautifully in our sessions allowing me to explore every aspect of myself without ever feeling judged. His calmness and kindness made my journey through therapy so much easier. His genuine compassion helped me in accepting myself. I always felt he was congruent and his ability to bear witness to my story was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Stephen as a counsellor and an ecotherapist'. (former client)

“Therapy with Stephen was like a magical journey into a new phase of my life, which kept me progressing daily; even through the difficult memories. I found myself looking forward to the sessions – I never ever imagined I would enjoy therapy. I wish I’d found this years ago. But the time was right, and I’m very grateful for a wonderful life-enhancing experience.” (former client)
