"For me, SoulCollage® is an important addition to my life and work. I apply it in various coaching programs in my work as a coach, supervisor, and intervision facilitator."
SoulCollage® as a guidance method in coaching and therapy
SoulCollage® is a creative method that works with images and personal meaning-making. In coaching and therapy, it can be a valuable addition to conversation and reflection.
Images make it possible to:
- visualise experiences that are difficult to put into words
- look at a situation in a different way
- explore themes without immediate analysis
Because clients work with images that appeal to them, a process of personal interpretation and insight emerges. SoulCollage® thus aligns with working with metaphorical images for therapy, where meaning arises from experience rather than analysis.
SoulCollage® is used by many coaches and therapists as one of the creative therapy tools to work with clients in an experience-oriented way.

How does it work in practice
Einleitung
SoulCollage® consists of two parts: making cards and reading the cards. In addition, there are various exercises to work with the cards in more depth
Make maps
Clients choose images that capture their attention and use them to create a collage on a card. The process is intuitive and follows what emerges at that moment.
Reading maps
SoulCollage® has a fixed, described reading process. In this, you speak from the card, starting with:
“I am the one who…”
Card gets a voice
From this opening sentence, the card gains a voice. This helps to intuitively explore the image further and give it meaning.
Applications in coaching and therapy
Introduction
SoulCollage® can be used in various ways. The method can be adapted to the working method of the coach or therapist.
Individual sessions
To support insight and reflection. Working with images helps to make visible what is going on inside and can contribute to deepening the conversation.
Group work and workshops
For collaborative exploration and exchange. Participants work with their own images, while sharing fosters recognition and connection within the group.
Thematic approach
For example, regarding personal development, change, or direction. Images make it possible to explore themes in a more intuitive way.
Creative journeys
Where visual work plays a central role. By regularly creating and reading maps, depth and coherence are created in the process.
Teambuilding and Group Development
SoulCollage® can also be used as a form of SoulCollage® team building, where participants gain insight into themselves and the group dynamics through images and reflection.
SoulCollage® materials for professional use
Working with SoulCollage® as a coach or therapist requires simple materials. In a professional setting, carefully selected imagery for therapy is often used, so clients can work with images that align with various themes and experiences.
The basics consist of:
- sturdy cardstock in a fixed size
- varied imagery (such as images of people, animals, nature, buildings and symbols)
- scissors and glue
- optional protective sleeves
The use of appropriate and varied imagery supports working with creative processes and makes SoulCollage® a practical application within creative therapy tools.

"What a powerful tool"
“Lucy is a great trainer, both gentle and strong and also wise. She created a safe environment, a holding space, as if it were a womb. Very pleasant, open and warm. I felt free to be myself and to express myself, to express all kinds of personalities. There was no judgment and that is liberating.”
