Therapy Tools

Therapy Tools

Tools support mental health professionals in helping clients explore emotions, strengths, values, build insight, and communicate with more ease. 

Visual prompts, reflective worksheets, and structured exercises offer gentle ways for clients to express what feels complex or hard to name, while strengthening safety and connection in individual, couples, family, or group sessions.

Flexible across therapeutic orientations, the tools reduce cognitive load, open space for deeper reflection, and help clients notice patterns, navigate transitions, and articulate their inner experience at a pace that feels right for them. 💖

What people say

I use it right now in almost every consultation, one woman was really impressed how she picked the adequate cards that reflected her resources that she had forgotten during a stressful situation. I also used it in a Resilience Workshop with teachers from a secondary school in Bonn and they worked really well as inspiration for group work! Likewise, I give the set to my clients and let them pick the cards they like - also this simple intervention always creates new ideas and mostly, the revival of old resources!

Dr. Antje Lumma-Sellenthin

Psychologist and Systemic Therapist

I primarily used the card set in my work with clients whose focus is often strongly on deficits. The clients were asked to select cards with strengths they already possess and lay them out in front of them.

Subsequently, further cards were selected that represent strengths they would like to develop or expand (goal setting).

By laying out the cards, the large number of existing positive strengths was literally made visible. This led to an immediate increase in self-efficacy and a shift in focus away from problems and towards problem-solving skills.

In conclusion, the strengths card set is an excellent tool for experiential, strengths-based work in occupational therapy. It promotes self-reflection, boosts self-esteem, and is a wonderful starting point for motivational work and goal-oriented action planning. A clear recommendation for all therapists who want to work in a resource-oriented way.

Saskia Schuster

Occupational Therapist

I had used the "World of Emotions" cards in one of my events - "Authenticity Unmasked" - A Valentine’s Day Special on 14 Feb 2025. I love using the pictures cards to facilitate my group sessions for the participants to share by asking them, "Choose an image that represents you." and "What is one image that describes the most authentic version of you?"

The cards encouraged the participants to explore and reflect about their authentic selves.

When these tools can support your sessions

First sessions

Use simple prompts to ease clients into sharing early experiences, emotional themes, or areas of focus. They help establish rapport and build a clearer shared picture of what matters.

Couples, families, and group therapy

Structured prompts reduce pressure and help participants talk about patterns, feelings, and hopes in a contained way. This is especially helpful in situations where communication feels tense, stuck, or overwhelming.

Ongoing therapy

Tools can anchor sessions around topics such as emotional regulation, needs, boundaries, values, self-worth, relationships, and life transitions. They help clients articulate what has shifted between sessions or what remains unresolved.

Between-session reflection

Clients can use selected tools at home to continue processing thoughts and emotions at their own pace, supporting continuity between sessions.

1on1

How to weave these tools into your therapeutic style

  1. Introduce a card or visual prompt to ground clients before going into deeper topics
  2. Invite clients to choose an image or statement that resonates and explore what it evokes
  3. Use reflective worksheets to help structure complex themes like boundaries, relationships, or internal conflicts
  4. Allow clients to engage with tools at their own pace; the process can be as gentle or as exploratory as they need
  5. In groups, use conversation prompts to set the tone, encourage inclusion, and build trust

The goal isn’t to “do an activity” but to create openings, deepen the therapeutic alliance, and offer clarity where words may be hard to find.

Image cards

help clients find access even to difficult inner topics.

Word cards

help clients express feelings, needs, values, and strengths.

For every context

metaFox tools can be used with different target groups, in person as well as online.
