I had two tarot coaching sessions with Martin a few months ago and they were eye opening. I’m amazed at how accurate the readings were. They highlighted some significant synchronicities in my life, and motivated me to have the courage to make some important decisions that ended up being life-changing! Martin was friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, kind, and I 100% recommend him.

I must say that the tarot reading I had with Martin was amazing. The cards showed some interesting & thought provoking issues. The system/cards that Martin uses works really well and easy to follow. Everything was explained in a way that I understood which is great. I felt at ease throughout the whole process and the way the whole session was conducted was a safe place to discuss what needed to be discussed and explored. Thank you Martin, I will be requesting another reading soon.

Your Online Tarot Reading Coach.

Tarot changes your life…like it did mine…it offers a very gentle method to looking at your life with a new perspective. It only presents who we are and where we came from and where we can go to…without taking away your autonomy…I offer tarot as a medium through which we collaborate on your current life situation, past influences that are creating that situation and a number of ways you can move forward with autonomy and agency…you decide…

I offer a trauma-informed, psychotherapy-integrated approach to the Tarocco Soprafino Marseille Tarot for exploring your inner world, family system patterns, life direction and relationships – in person in Romsey, Hampshire, or online in the UK.

You can gain deeper insights into your identity, relationships, career direction, self-concept and relational attachment dynamics. The tarot exploration dovetails with psychotherapy focusing on the here-and-now meaning and aligns with trauma-informed practice: safety, pacing, agency and structured meaning-making.

In our work together, the cards offer symbolic themes and patterns that help you reflect on your current situation and consider options in your life with greater clarity and self-awareness.

  1. Find greater clarity in relationships, career or life direction.
  2. Explore how past influences continue to influence the present.
  3. Understand and transform recurring internal or relationship conflicts.
  4. Value a psychologically grounded, reflective space to explore potential trajectories in life.

Tarocco Soprafino Milano 1835. The Meneghello Edition of Italy.

Tarot sessions are offered as a stand alone session for clients looking for self-development in a particular area like relationships, work and career or life direction and purpose.

Alternatively you can integrate a tarot reading as part of your life coaching and counselling journey in your normal session work.

Stand alone sessions are priced at £55-£65 and will take around an hour to complete.

An hour session will look at your presenting situation and question. Then we explore the past influences that have brought you to the present situation and question. And finally we explore the dynamics operating in the now that are influencing potential trajectories and options for you to overcome adversity and anter creativity and solutions.

More Tarot Testimonials

I’ve had two tarot sessions with Martin about a month apart, and honestly both were amazing. The cards that came up were not only beautiful but felt spot-on for what was going on in my life at the time. They gave me so much clarity and a few gentle nudges about where to focus next. Because of my background in psychology, I was fascinated by how naturally Martin blends tarot with psychological insight. He has such a calm, intuitive presence and makes you feel completely at ease. What I love most is his humility — he really listens, meets you where you are, and you can feel how much care he puts into each session. I walked away from both sessions feeling lighter, inspired and genuinely supported. I’d happily recommend Martin to any friend or family member who’s curious about tarot.

I received a Winter Solstice and New Year Reading from Martin. The reading was very accurate and reflected my current situation whilst also reflecting energies and potentials of my current timeline. I found the reading to be clear but also portrayed in a compassionate and hopeful way helping to guide and support me in the way forward. I found Martin to be very knowledgeable whilst also tuning into what energies and guidance was around the Tarot spread. The cards used where very beautiful and I found it useful to gaze upon them and tune into the reading. Thank you Martin this reading made me feel very held and helped shine a light on the way through.

Martin’s therapeutic approach aligned with my values of addressing difficulties and thought patterns through a spiritual lens, emphasizing intuition and spiritual alignment to overcome adversity. His method focused on returning to the present moment by applying intuition, with readings consolidating and building this intuitive capacity. His approach is holistic, fostering collaborative progress.

I really enjoyed working with Martin – he didn’t force anything that didn’t resonate and encouraged me to think about why it may have come up. This increased openness for me and it was a couple weeks later that I could see why the cards showed the way they did. Timing and free will are huge parts of this and I appreciate those connected with spirit who get that like Martin. THANK YOU for the guidance!

I recently had a tarot reading with Martin, and as someone who had never done this before, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect — but I was genuinely surprised by how insightful and accurate the experience turned out to be. Martin took the time to clearly explain the meaning of each card, not just on a surface level, but also in terms of both physical and spiritual significance. He didn’t just read the cards at me — he asked thoughtful questions and checked in to see whether what was coming up resonated with my life. And to my surprise, it really did — almost uncannily so. What I appreciated most was the space Martin created for reflection. His reading gave me the clarity to voice things I hadn’t fully admitted to myself before — especially around the blocks I’ve been carrying. It helped me realize how important it is to sit with those parts of myself and listen to what they’re trying to teach me. I came away from the reading with a deeper understanding of myself and a renewed sense of awareness. Highly recommend Martin to anyone seeking honest, intuitive, and spiritually grounded guidance.

I have had two tarot readings with Martin and I was interested to see how this works. Both readings were really interesting and positive experiences. I was amazed how the cards resonated so closely with my current situation. I felt as if I was looking at my challenges from a different perspective. It was like someone else looking in and it made me step back and see things more objectively with fresh eyes. Something I had not done before. This is a new approach to dealing with my circumstances instead of using the same mindset as before. This has been very helpful and inspirational. I also gained a better understanding of myself and now feel better equipped to deal with situations. I feel that I can really achieve the results I have been working towards. For me, tarot readings work so well with counselling. I would definitely recommend this innovative approach. The readings were very relaxed and felt like fascinating conversations. I felt safe and had no hesitation in exploring what the readings could offer. Martin is a highly skilled counsellor and tarot reader and his professionalism inspires confidence. I feel very encouraged that I can look forward with hope, confidence and positivity. I will definitely be booking more readings and thoroughly recommend Martin as a reader and also as a counsellor.

My session with Martin was nothing short of transformational. From the very beginning, he created a safe and supportive space where I felt comfortable to openly explore my questions and concerns. The tarot cards reflected my current life situation with surprising clarity and accuracy. Combined with Martin’s psychotherapy-informed and gentle coaching style helped me understand the cards and the insights that came from these resonated deeply and gave me a clear perspective on the influences shaping my choices right now. The blend of tarot and coaching worked beautifully together — a balance of practical guidance and spiritual wisdom that felt both grounded and inspiring. The process flowed naturally, helping me identify key issues I need to address and giving me tangible steps to move closer to the results I want. Even online, the technology worked seamlessly, making the experience smooth and easy to engage with. Above all, Martin’s ability to hold space with compassion and clarity made all the difference. I felt seen, heard, and understood. Honestly, I wouldn’t suggest any improvements — the session was insightful, well-paced, and profoundly encouraging. If you are seeking a unique approach that bridges self-discovery, therapeutic reflection, and spiritual insight, I can wholeheartedly recommend Martin.

I had several readings with Martin, and after having experienced Tarot before elsewhere I was quite overwhelmed by the quality of the experience. Martin put me at ease, creating a very safe and compassionate space. I was wary of how this would work online but Martin had a professional set up, and the reading went without a hitch. The cards reflected my situation and I was surprised by how relevant they were, and along with Martin’s interpretation, the reading felt deep and meaningful to me. We worked with my own question, and so it was a very personal experience, which Martin navigated with great empathy. I’ll be returning for more readings!

I am so grateful to Martin for such an insightful, uplifting and soul warming reading. I absolutely loved the insightful explanations around the meanings of the beautiful cards along side the beautiful wisdom and intuitive guidance Martin shared. This reading was Divinely timed as I was in a particularly vulnerable place. I spent sometime reflecting and journaling which had such a positive effect on me…. I could feel some loving energy even then. I am forever grateful to Martin and look forward to another session soon

I had such a great experience with my tarot coaching session with Martin! I felt like my questions and concerns were really well heard and addressed. The tarot cards themselves reflected my current life situations and influences in a way that felt very relevant and insightful. The whole process naturally flowed. The online session worked smoothly, and I always felt like I was in a safe and supportive space to explore my thoughts and feelings. The blend of tarot reading and coaching was so effective, and it made the experience both meaningful and empowering. I thoroughly enjoyed the session and left feeling lighter, clearer and inspired. I’d absolutely recommend this to anyone who is curious about tarot or looking for guidance in a supportive, thoughtful way.

Your session felt from the heart and that’s what I loved about it! The ease and the comfort you created made me feel safe, felt I was talking to a friend! Your Tarot read came as an acknowledgment to my apprehensions and confirmation to my thoughts which helped ease the self doubt I had been writhing in.

My Tarot Approach and Style

The best word I use to describe what I do as a tarologist is I am ‘intuitive’ but I have also studied the symbolism, meanings and method of reading using the work of Jodorowsky, Rosengarten, Elias and Enriquez.

I love what I do as a Tarot Coach and that is because I value the number one thing for this work and that is your autonomy and free will. A tarot reading should never take away your free will, but instead reinforce it. Ironically, it is the circumstances and situations around us that are the prohibitive forces and that is what we have free will to respond to…the cards help you understand those forces and situations…then you have more information to act…

Who am I?

Helping people has been a significant part of much of my career in therapies, education, supporting and appraising staff in primary and further education in the UK, India, Sri Lanka, Brazil and New Zealand. I have supported teaching staff in the prison, hospitality, early childhood education and youth work sectors and teachers in primary school through professional development courses and workshops based on their own goals and aspirations.

Since then I have trained in hypnotherapy, counselling and psychotherapy, life coaching, mentoring, worked in rape and sexual abuse and been in private practice since 2013. I am a tutor for Chrysalis Courses for their hypnotherapy, counselling and psychotherapy diplomas. I also provide one day workshops in PTSD & Trauma, Shame & Narcissism and Understanding Personality Disorders.

I provide workshops in spirituality occasionally at the Romsey Wisdom Centre in Hampshire including Personal Mythology and Life Narrative, and meditation days based on the writings in the Gospel of Thomas and St John of the Cross.

I have learned and taught yoga, meditation, therapeutic body massage and Reiki. I have learned Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Ashtanga Yoga, Hatha Yoga and now practice Kriya Yoga, the method of Self Realisation as taught by Paramahansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi. I pursued these paths when I lived in Brazil, India and New Zealand. I returned to the UK in 2012.

I enjoy walking, cycling, painting, playing the Indian harmonium and kartels, singing bhajans and spending as much time as possible in communion with Great Spirit.
