By including you in the tarot reading process
how can a Down To Earth Tarot
Reading help you to build a better life?
Down To Earth Tarot offers practical solutions to everyday problems, helping you navigate challenging times. With the constant stream of (mis)information and overwhelming world events, making decisions can feel paralyzing. This unique tarot reading approach breaks down problems into manageable parts, offering actionable solutions before reassembling the bigger picture for a fresh perspective.
What sets Down To Earth Tarot apart is its interactive, collaborative nature. Unlike traditional readings, where you passively receive information, you play an active role in the process. As the seeker, you are invited to share thoughts, intuitions, or feelings about each card, allowing the images to guide problem-solving. This dynamic engagement helps you uncover insights and take ownership of the solutions.
As a qualified spiritual and tarot counsellor, I guide you through the reading while ensuring you have the space to explore your own subconscious wisdom. Tarot’s symbolic language can reveal hidden solutions, like buried treasure in the mind. While participation enhances the experience, you are free to engage at your comfort level—the more you contribute, the more you gain.
A session begins with the question: What’ on your mind today? We then work together, using the cards as signposts to answer specific questions to provide clear answers. Down To Earth Tarot readings illuminate options you may not have considered, offering fresh perspectives beyond your usual thought processes.
Each session includes elements of traditional tarot, coaching, and counselling. Together, we determine what you hope to achieve—whether fixing a situation or stepping away from it. With this understanding, we co-create a strategy to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Do tarot readings work?
seekersThe effectiveness of tarot readings is a subject of much debate and largely hinges on personal beliefs and experiences.
From a scientific standpoint, there is no concrete evidence to support the claim that tarot cards possess inherent predictive abilities. However, many individuals attest to the value they find in tarot readings as a tool for self-reflection, introspection, and gaining insight into various aspects of life.
Tarot readings are often approached as a form of divination, wherein the cards are interpreted to offer guidance or shed light on a particular situation. The interpretation of the cards is highly subjective and can be influenced by the reader’s intuition, the seeker’s (the person receiving the reading) personal experiences, and the context of the inquiry.
While some view tarot readings as mere entertainment, others believe that the cards hold symbolic significance and can tap into the unconscious.
Whether tarot readings “work” ultimately depends on the individual’s perspective and their willingness to engage with the symbolism and meaning attributed to the cards. For many, tarot readings serve as a valuable tool for introspection and self-discovery, offering insights and perspectives that may not have been apparent otherwise.

"I was surprised by how conversational my first ever Tarot card session with Michael was. it reminded of a therapy session. It was important that I was able reflect on what each card means to me. In other words, cards simply helped me to talk and think about myself. The reading served me as an overview of who I am at the moment and where my life is moving to. The experience was intimate and I was able to talk about parts of me that were “calling” to be talked about. Essentially, Michael and cards were aids to me being with myself. "
Paulius. PsychotherapistAfter being diagnosed with breast cancer, I lost all stability and needed some guidance on how to move my life forward in a positive way. A tarot reading gave me the opportunity to think about my new position in the world and future options. Michael chose a fabulous spread that was perfectly suited to my question. It allowed for every angle (including some that had not occurred to me) to be considered with possibilities for extending some of the main thoughts and ideas. Michael’s calm, friendly yet unobtrusive manner allowed me to open up and express hidden feelings.
Amanda. TeacherI would describe Michael's Tarot readings as truly helpful and empowering. By using counseling techniques as well as his own insights which he brings into the session in a gentle and non invasive way, he helped me draw out what are the important issues right know in my life and help me to gain clarity about where my life is going. It was like being able to step out of my daily life and gain an overview, I became more confident about decisions I needed to make and challenges that I was facing. By the end I felt more connected to my 'Higher Self'

Abi. Well Being ConsultantI was feeling pretty distressed when I went to see Michael for the Tarot consultation, but the atmosphere in the space, the cards and the sensitive nature of the consultation provided a frame in which I was able to think and speak openly.
Thank you Michael, you gave me so much to think about and I found it really helpful, your Tarot consultation provided me with the containment and frame I needed so badly.
Claire . CounsellorI was intrigued to find out more about this type of tarot and experienced an amazing reading from Michael - I was amazed at how it reflected on the question I asked and the cards gave me the intuition to answer my own questions. I would highly recommend this to anyone who needs a little guidance in their personal or business life. Thank you Michael I feel as though I can think a bit clearer now and can feel back on track! Many thanks
