About
I have read cards for myself since I was a teenager and gradually introduced them into my work in talent management well over a decade ago. I used the cards to help people address their work and career challenges where traditional coaching or counselling methods were less effective. These challenges were often intertwined with their personal issues.
Seeing how Tarot could transform people’s lives led me to study first Tarot and then Lenormand at the College of Psychic Studies, London. This opened up a new world to me which I have embraced with passion. I have since acquired professional qualifications from Biddy Tarot (Tarot) and the World Divination Association (Lenormand). My wider studies have encompassed psychic development, mediumship, astrology and metaphysics.

I’m an avid card collector, as you can see on my Instagram site @swordstonetarot. I’m especially fascinated by vintage and historic decks. The link to a rich and colourful past is what first drew me to the cards when I was a teenager.
I’ve recently completed a book entitled Intuitive Self-Reliance at Work, which aims to help people in business develop their intuition using Tarot as a tool. I’m also creating my first Lenormand deck with the artist and illustrator Danuta Mayer.
More conventionally, I hold an MBA from Cranfield University and an MSc in Organizational Behaviour from Birkbeck College, University of London. I’m also a Fellow of the Institute of Personnel Development.
Here’s what a few of my clients have to say about my readings.
“I appreciated your honesty... The reading totally gave me insight into what I can do to help my career. I loved how it was amazingly open and it led me to realize that while I am working I should also focus more of my energy on artistic endeavours left on the backburner.”
“You were straight to the point, clear, didn't beat around the bush. You confirmed a lot of what I already know but allow fear to cloud my judgement about. I also appreciate your coaching and counselling background, it came through in the reading...”
“This reading helped me to understand how to better connect with my daughter. I loved that you not only told what problems I have with her but also what to do to solve these problems.”
