Portraits of Emotions is a set of 52 black and white portrait cards designed to support deeper emotional awareness and expression in coaching, therapy, and personal development.

Each portrait captures a distinct emotional tone, inviting clients to recognize, name, and explore what they feel. By working with visual cues instead of words alone, clients can access emotions that are often difficult to articulate and approach them with more openness and self-compassion.

The cards are especially helpful for creating meaningful conversations around emotions that are often avoided, overlooked, or hard to describe.

Explore the dynamic interplay of light and dark in your emotions.

The “Portraits of Emotions” set is grounded in the practice of emotional mirroring and naming as key pathways to emotional insight and personal growth. By visually identifying with nuanced facial expressions, clients can access and articulate inner experiences that might otherwise remain hidden or difficult to express. The black-and-white aesthetic strips away color cues and distractions, drawing focus to the raw, authentic emotion in each image. This simplicity invites deeper emotional resonance and reflection. Whether used in coaching, therapy, or self-work, the cards create a safe, contained space for emotional exploration, making it easier to name, process, and ultimately transform one's emotional landscape.

Get your clients to break through

Get your clients to break through

In coaching and therapy, clients often hit a wall when asked to describe their feelings. Words fail, emotions get buried, and the session stalls. The Portraits of Emotions card set meets this struggle head-on. It provides clients with a way to express their feelings, bypassing confusion or resistance. When they can’t find the words, these images offer a mirror, helping them surface emotions that are hard to name, long avoided, or deeply repressed—unlocking the next step forward.

How you can use the cards

  3. Name the Emotion: Support them in naming the emotion or mix of feelings the image brings up.

What the users say

I ordered these motiv cards in a set of 2, on the following themes “World of Emotions” and “Growing Together”. Both sets are ideally adapted for various applications. Especially the combination of a picture and supportive questions make these deep picture cards something special. They intuitively support the users to give free rein to their thoughts. A great investment for every trainer and coach in a further coaching method. I am still delighted with the deep pictures. Thanks a lot!

I got myself a set of Deep Pictures for the 30th edition of BEST’s Trainer Camp, on which a new generation of soft-skill trainers was raised. Over 12 days, we were able to use the cards in all sorts of situations, be it in training sessions for reflecting upon experiences, for retrospectives at the end of each day or for stimulating thoughts during individual coaching. The highlight for our participants was, of course, that at the end of the event everyone could take home a card with the personal greetings of the remaining participants.

The Team Cards “Growing Together” and the Emotion Cards are particularly useful for my work with teens. This is because their combination of images on one side and questions on the other offer a direct entry into deeper conversation. The images and questions allow the youngsters to compare their perception of themselves with how others perceive them – which triggers thoughts, discussion and self-reflection. The cards also work really well for uniting a group.
