Counselling and Mental Health Skills for Tarot and Astrology Consultants
Difficult Clients
Secret Ingredient to Relationship Readings
Counselling and Mental Health Skills for Tarot Readers,
Astrologers and other Psycho-Spiritual Practitioners
“For many years I have wanted to integrate my conventional clinical and educative work as a Social Worker, my knowledge from Medicine, and a large personal interest in psychology and psychiatry, with the esoteric. 
This course has been a dream of mine for some years – the opportunity to combine conventional counselling/mental health work and skill, with the esoteric, ultimately aiming for a balance and integration of the psyche and soul.
“Having become a part-time tarot reader, then astrologer, whilst continuing to work as Social worker, I also studied Wicca, Jung, Kabbalah, Buddhism and other spiritual traditions, and engaged in therapy. This has been a profound path of self awareness, learning about my unconscious and life lessons, attempting to integrate all this knowledge and experience. And now, dare I say, I feel wisdom has evolved from a slow imperceptible depth of understanding of the psycho-spiritual.
“I put my ‘foot out into the world’, to actualise my ‘vocation’ and dream, I presented three talks at the Tarot Guild of Australia and the Astrologers Association, in Victoria, on ‘Counselling and Mental Health Skills’, which were well received. I finally sat and wrote a course encompassing my own inner intuition, a variety of counselling frameworks, Western psychiatry, my experience with Social Work, Tarot and Astrology clients, my sense of the Spirit and life’s lessons, which all came together in a course that I ran, in 2010, on Counselling and Mental Health Skills for Tarot Readers and Astrologers and related practitioners. The course was lively and clearly participants were eager to have those challenging issues that clients present with, understood more deeply, and for skills to be enhanced or developed. They recognised they were ‘counselling’, had some clients with complex issues and deep psychological pain. The participants keenly absorbed the context of the different counselling frameworks and were able to recognise and know what to do when a client with mental health issues appeared, both to be aware, to know what to do and what resources to offer the person. Finally the dream became a reality – the opportunity to combine conventional counselling/mental health work and skill, with the esoteric, ultimately aiming for a balance and integration of the psyche and soul.”

Client Skills for Tarot Readers
Video course through Global Spiritual Studies
Basically you buy my course, study it , then have the chance to discuss issues with me via email or Skype.
After doing a tarot or esoteric reading, have you ever felt you didn’t tune into your client as well as you could have? Maybe it was the way they said one thing but their body language said another, or you felt they were avoiding some obvious issue. Now imagine having a storehouse of practical knowledge about what makes people tick and how much more confident you would feel discussing the wide range of issues clients bring through the door. Jenne Perlstein’s course gives you exactly that – the knowledge to tune into your clients and practical ways of engaging them in their reading so that the experience is a positive one for both you and your clients. Topics covered include how counselling relates to astrology, tarot and different healing modalities; ethical issues and setting boundaries; schools of psychology; and mental health issues, including resources to assist clients.
Click here to watch a presentation where Jenne discusses the link between counselling, Tarot, astrology and healing modalities. It’s a lively discussion with plenty of interaction with people who were in the web conference room during the recording session.

Tuning in to ‘difficult’ clients
Any tarot or psychic reader will tell you that an ability to ‘read’ their clients is essential. Tuning in is easy when the person who comes for a reading is willing to engage in the process, responds to the way you’re interpreting the cards and is open to new ways of seeing whatever issue is being discussed. But what about the so-called ‘difficult’ clients, the ones who wear dark glasses, sit with their arms folded, never say a word because you’re the mind-reader and you should know what they’re thinking! Or the down , sad and confused client who is having trouble getting the words out ? or the one who just answers yes/ no/don’t know? How do you, as the reader, feel and how do you deal with the person and the negative energy such behaviour generates? What do you do???
In this class Jenne Perlstein draws on her extensive experience as a Social Worker and Professional Tarot reader to help you understand why people could be presenting as:
- resistant
- obsessive
- manipulative
- aggressive
- anxious
- demanding
- dreamy
- or just plain ‘odd’!

The secret ingredient to effective relationship readings
From The New Mythic Tarot by Juliet Sharman-Burke and Liz Greene.
Any tarot reader or astrologer will tell you that questions about love relationships are top of the list with people who come for readings…questions like “Does he love me?” “I know we’re meant to be together, but when’s it going to happen?” And how many times do they, as readers, think “Why is he/she so obsessed with this person?” What’s the real issue here?”
The secret ingredient lies with understanding human behaviour, with recognising what shapes the way we react to people, the way we create and respond to situations. In these two live webinars, Jenne Perlstein draws on her experience as a social worker, tarot reader and astrologer to deepen your understanding of the cards and planetary influences that reveal the true story behind those relationship questions. Topics for discussion include:
- personality theories such as transactional analysis
- family of origin issues
- tarot cards and planetary influences that provide clues to underlying behavioural patterns
- ways of interacting with clients to provide a positive reading experience.
Cost:
- access to two online recordings: $44 USD
- Set of three DVDs: $46 USD+ packaging and postage.
