FAQs

AIT is a unique and pioneering approach that combines the profound, symbolic framework of astrological archetypes with contemporary, ethically grounded psychological principles and skills. It offers a powerful lens for self-exploration, helping you understand your inner world, your life patterns, and your untapped potential in a new, resonant way.

No, AIT is not a substitute for, nor does it constitute, professional psychological therapy, counselling, or medical advice. While I apply psychological principles and skills gained from my training, AIT is a distinct service. I am not a licensed psychologist, psychotherapist or mental health professional in this capacity, and my AIT services are entirely separate from my regulated psychological training and practice. If, at any point, I believe you would benefit from formal mental health support, I will refer you to a qualified professional.

Each AIT session is £50. We hold sessions weekly to ensure consistent engagement with your process of self-discovery. To gain the most profound and lasting insights, we strongly encourage clients to commit to a minimum of 12 weekly sessions, after which the client may continue on an ongoing basis. This consistent engagement allows for deeper exploration of archetypal patterns and sustained personal growth.

If you are local to Norwich, UK, sessions are offered in person and can be paid in cash. Otherwise, bank transfers, PayPal, or Bitcoin transactions are accepted for all online sessions.

For those unable to commit to ongoing AIT, we offer single consultations for £80. Clients often find this option helpful when seeking a focused, initial insight into a specific life conundrum or during times of crisis. While these consultations can provide immediate illumination, please note that the deeper, more transformative work of AIT typically unfolds over a longer period of consistent engagement.

AIT is for anyone seeking deeper self-understanding, personal growth, and a fresh perspective on their life’s journey. It’s particularly potent for those curious and inquisitive, seeking meaning in life’s patterns, or drawn to archetypes and symbolism. While you don’t need to be an astrology expert, an openness to exploring astrological symbolism as a language for self-discovery will help you gain the most from our work.

Sessions are a collaborative expedition into your unique astrological birth chart. We’ll explore how specific life challenges or inner conflicts resonate with the archetypal energies symbolized in your chart. I’ll guide you with psychologically informed questions, helping you to connect these symbols to your lived experience. This process aims to illuminate unconscious patterns, validate your unique circumstances, and empower you to author your own life narrative. I do not offer predictions or tell you what to do.

AIT is unique in that the therapist needs to be able to draw up your birth chart. For the AIT to be most effective, you must provide your birth details: birth Date, Time, and Place (to the nearest big city and country). These details are crucial to create your accurate astrological birth chart, as they determine your rising sign and the houses, which are vital for personalised insight. If you don’t know your exact birth time, see next FAQ.

This is a common problem; many people do not know their time of birth, and/or they can no longer get this information. While creating an accurate birth chart is highly desirable, we can still work with this, albeit with less accuracy in terms of knowing the houses that the planets fall into. That said, we will know (excluding the Moon—the fastest-moving luminary) what signs the planets fall into and their aspects to each other. Regardless, the symbolism and archetypes will resonate with all of us and can still be drawn upon for AIT to be helpful.

No, you don’t need to be a staunch believer in astrology. What’s most important is an openness to exploring astrological symbolism as a unique and profound language for self-understanding. Think of the birth chart as a symbolic map of your psyche. AIT can be incredibly insightful if you are curious about new frameworks for self-discovery and are willing to engage with archetypal concepts.

Unlike traditional astrological readings that might focus on predictions or tell you about yourself in a prescriptive way, AIT is fundamentally client-centred and therapeutically informed. My role is not to dictate interpretations or your future, but to guide your exploration of your psyche, and astrological archetypes provide the frame. AIT is a means of self-discovery and personal empowerment, focusing on how you can actively engage with your inner landscape for growth and change.

AIT is a unique blend. While it applies psychological principles and skills (such as active listening, empathy, and facilitating self-reflection), it uses the astrological birth chart as its primary framework for understanding the psyche and guiding exploration, which is not part of any traditional therapeutic modality. Conventional therapy is a regulated profession focused on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. AIT does not provide diagnosis or treatment of mental health conditions.

All AIT sessions uphold the same high ethical standards and strict confidentiality that I adhere to in my psychological training and practice. Your privacy is paramount. Any personal data received during booking is securely kept in an online encrypted file and used solely for scheduling and session-related purposes, never for any other use.

While I cannot guarantee specific outcomes, clients often report benefits such as enhanced self-awareness, a deeper sense of meaning and purpose, clarity around life patterns, increased validation of their experiences, and a greater sense of personal power. AIT offers a unique perspective that can foster significant personal growth.

It’s a compelling question with a profound answer. Its enduring power lies in its very creation. Initially, humankind forged a relationship with the celestial deities, looking to the heavens in awe and wonder, projecting onto those figures their own human fantasies, fears, and unconscious parts of themselves. As Carl Jung so eloquently explored, the archetypes inherent within each zodiac sign and luminary have, through the ages, captured the very essence of life itself, which is why they continue to resonate with us so powerfully today.
