Astrological Counselling
Integrating Astrology and Psychotherapy
Integrating Astrology and Psychotherapy
Astrological counselling brings together the ancient art of astrology and the therapeutic relationship. Unlike a traditional astrology reading, which focuses primarily on chart analysis, astrological counselling uses your birth chart as a framework for therapeutic exploration. Together, we engage with the symbols and themes in your chart to deepen self-awareness, examine life patterns, and clarify your values and goals. Astrology serves as an additional lens within the therapeutic relationship—one that supports your journey toward self-discovery and meaningful change.
Astrology explores the movements of celestial bodies and their symbolic influence on human experience and the natural world. Many of us encounter recurring patterns in our lives—relationships that follow similar arcs, challenges that resurface, or self-defeating behaviors that keep us stuck. These cycles can be frustrating, painful, and prevent us from living with clarity and purpose.
An astrological counsellor can offer a unique integration: the interpretive depth of astrology combined with the relational safety and clinical skill of psychotherapy. Your birth chart becomes a tool for understanding these patterns, while the therapeutic relationship provides a compassionate space to explore, process, and transform what you discover.
If astrological counselling resonates with you, we’ll begin with a 75-minute initial session. I’ll need your birth details in advance—date, precise time (ideally from your birth certificate), and location—so I can spend a few hours studying your chart before we meet.
In that first session, I’ll walk you through what I’ve found—the major energies, tensions, and gifts your chart reveals—and we’ll talk about what brought you to therapy and what you’re hoping for. From there, we move into ongoing sessions (50–60 minutes), and your chart becomes a living reference point we can return to whenever it’s helpful.
Here’s how I think about it: astrology helps us understand the what, therapy supports the how.
Astrology integrates naturally with IFS (Internal Family Systems),my primary therapeutic framework. IFS views the psyche as composed of different “parts,” and I often experience the planets as symbolic expressions of those inner parts. For example, the Moon reflecting your emotional landscape, Mercury showing how you process and communicate, Saturn carrying both your self-criticism and your deepest resilience.
None of these parts are good or bad. Each one developed for a reason, shaped by both your birth chart and your life experiences. In therapy, we gently explore how these parts show up, what they need, and how to relate to them with more compassion and choice.
Astrology is always optional in our work. It is used only when it feels helpful and appropriate, and it is integrated in a grounded, therapeutic manner that prioritizes your goals and lived experience.
Discover the cosmic blueprint imprinted at your first breath—a revealing exploration of the celestial forces shaping your essence and the deeper purpose your spirit chose before entering this life. Perfect for those connecting with me for the first time.
During our initial session together, we may explore:

These sessions pick up where we left off, allowing us to dive deeper into the insights from your original birth chart exploration. You’re invited to bring whatever has been stirring within you—questions that have surfaced, moments of recognition you’ve experienced, or specific aspects of your chart that are calling for closer attention.
This time together is intentionally therapeutic, creating space for you to integrate what you’ve discovered about yourself and support your ongoing journey of inner development and soulful transformation.
*Cancellation Policy: If you are unable to attend a session, we ask that you cancel or reschedule a minimum 48 hours in advance. A fee will be charged for missed appointments or cancellations with less than 48 hours’ notice.
Astrological counselling blends the ancient wisdom of astrology with therapeutic conversation. It’s a process where we explore your birth chart as a map of your inner world—your patterns, potentials, challenges, and gifts. Together, we use this cosmic blueprint to better understand your life experiences and support your journey toward self-awareness and healing.
In a traditional astrology session, we explore and interpret your chart. In astrological counselling I incorporate IFS, we go further—we dialogue with the parts of you that emerge through the astrological themes. It becomes an experiential process where you’re not just learning about yourself, you’re actively engaging with your inner system to create change.
IFS stands for Internal Family Systems—a therapeutic approach that recognizes we all have different inner voices or “parts” within us. When we combine IFS with astrology, your birth chart becomes a beautiful map for identifying and understanding these parts. The planets and placements can illuminate different aspects of your inner world, helping you recognize protective patterns, wounded places, and your core authentic self.
After your initial chart reading, you might notice certain patterns showing up repeatedly in your life—maybe a part of you that people-pleases, a critical inner voice, or a tendency to shut down emotionally. IFS gives us a method to actually work with these patterns rather than just identifying them. It transforms awareness into healing.
To create your birth chart, I’ll need your birth date, exact birth time (as precise as possible), and birth location. If you’re unsure of your exact birth time, check your birth certificate or reach out to the hospital where you were born—they often have this information on file.
An accurate birth time gives us the most detailed and personalized reading. However, if you can’t locate it, we can still work with what’s available, though some elements of the chart may be less precise. We can discuss your options during our initial contact.
Online horoscopes are written for everyone born under a particular sun sign—they’re general by nature. Astrological counselling is entirely personal. Your birth chart is as unique as your fingerprint, and our sessions focus exclusively on your specific cosmic makeup and life story.
Come as you are. Some people like to prepare questions or think about areas of life they want to explore. Others prefer to see what unfolds naturally. Both approaches work beautifully. The most important thing is to arrive with an open mind and heart.
Rather than fortune-telling, I focus on understanding your inner landscape and life patterns. Astrology reveals timing, themes, and energies at play—it illuminates possibilities rather than fixed outcomes. You always have free will in how you respond to what life presents.
While these sessions are therapeutic in nature, they’re not a substitute for licensed mental health treatment, especially if you’re dealing with acute mental health concerns. Astrological counselling works beautifully alongside traditional therapy and can complement the work you’re already doing.
