Frequently Asked Questions

The physical card packs and the digital cards are a useful tool when you want to encourage your clients or patients away from thinking and towards their emotions and feelings.

They work in 1-2-1 coaching, supervision or therapy sessions, plus small or large group work. You can use them for check-ins and icebreakers, exploring polarities such as strengths and development need exercises, or with metaphors or concepts, ideas generation and brain storming.

They work particularly well when you need to help clients move away from thoughts and words and create divergent and open conversations. They are very helpful when a client is stuck, when they need to unpack emotions or feelings or want to bring underlying and hidden feelings into sight. They are also useful in creating connections and sparking new conversations and ideas.

We’re delighted to say that time and time again we witnessed the digital cards creating a strong response in clients, enabling them to access their emotions quickly.

Yes, they work powerfully in 1-2-1 coaching or therapeutic sessions, with small or with large groups. You can work with both the physical card packs (contact us for bulk price discounts), or with the digital cards. Choose different exercises depending on the number of people you’re working with.

We have a range of customers using the cards for their client work.

No, this is the beauty of the packs. They are very open ended, so the only limit is your imagination. However, if you like a process to follow, a user guide and exercise guide are included with your purchase.
