Welcome to Tarot therapy my name is Brian Anderson and I am based near Perth Scotland where I offer face to face sessions as well as tarot therapy across our world with a video call. I am a qualified counsellor with over twenty years experience graduating from a four year training at the University of West of England in 2006.
I worked in this role as a counsellor with our young people in education settings as well as in restorative justice and with adults alongside the NHS as well as in residential and community based therapeutic support both with individual and working within group settings.
I now work with the Tarot since 2017 as a therapeutic expression and offering of my counselling practice. As my ever growing relationship with the Tarot evolves I continue to be amazed at the possibilities of working with the Tarot as a therapy and way to explore the energy and opportunities that the tarot shows are currently available to us.
I offer individual tarot therapy sessions, as well as my work with Tarot Constellations and Becoming the Tarot these sessions can be in person or from anywhere in our world via Zoom or similar all details are here on my website.
The Tarot offers a language of universal symbols and as such these will speak deeply to each of us unlocking insight and potential. While also revealing what is blocking this potential from being expressed and helping us to see what we need to see and previously could not.
In the session we find ways to both learn from and move beyond challenges you may be facing. The process opens a way for us to move through life in a more integrated, creative, dynamic and empowered way.
Experience with this process has shown it is important to be and understand where we are, for then we are able to look to our futures from a more grounded place, the Tarot offers both these possibilities to us.
As you respond to this symbolic language of the cards chosen I invite your own insights and intuition while I listen and offer my knowledge intuition and experience with the tarot therapy process as a guide bringing guidance, insight, healing and empowerment.
This work is built on the foundation of the Tarot though we also work with a more intuitive and personal sense in how the tarot respond’s to your questions as these unlock the tarots guidance for us to make empowered choices at this time.
The 78 cards of the tarot holds a mirror and a map of the journey through life, revealing that which was previously unseen and ways to navigate the process, mystery and wonder of life in all its many forms of joys and challenge.
In this process within the triangle of yourself your intentions bringing the issues you wish to explore, the Tarot itself, me as a guide together we clear a way to a broader potential and awareness of yourself.
My own initiation into the Tarot and learning came under the training of Steve Hounsome a teacher and writer of the Tarot as a therapy. I also have been given a lot of knowledge from Suzann Corbie who opened the way for me to the tarot.
From my background in counselling though not a member I draw upon the BACP ethical framework and uphold their code of ethics in this work. Building on my roots as a counsellor I feel I have found a way to offer the tarot in a effective practical and grounded way. The tarot offers a unique and personal way of looking at the issues we face and guides us as we navigate a new way forward.
I also since 2006 have offered work with people as a shamanic practitioner your very welcome to have a look at my website for details of my offering with shamanism http://www.oakenleaf-shamanism.co.uk
