Visual tools for insight,
reflection and change

Helping people recognise and explore what matters

Insight Visuals offers evidence-informed sets of illustrated cards that make thinking, reflection, communication and planning easier. Each card represents a concept — such as a need, strength, relationship, challenge, emotion or aspiration.

Designed for adults, teenagers, young children and workplaces, the tools are used in counselling, coaching, education, wellbeing and career development.

How do they work?

People select images that resonate with their experiences or circumstances, then explore what those images mean to them. The cards help bring needs and priorities into focus, open conversations and identify possible ways forward. They can be used individually or in groups.

Tools for thinking, not just communication

More than language aids, Insight Visuals are cognitive tools. Images can stimulate reflection, reveal connections and help people recognise thoughts, feelings and possibilities they may not have previously considered.

Why they useful?

Recognising what matters is an important step towards better wellbeing, meaning and purpose

Visuals tap into our tacit knowledge, helping us recognise and express thoughts, feelings and experiences that can be difficult to put into words.

Insight Visuals uses our natural ability to interpret images and make connections to help people.
