Chaplaincy Services
Cost
A fairly standard cost for a tarot reading comes to about £10 per card; obviously the more cards one requests or are naturally involved in a spread, the lighter the load will be. For example, three card spreads are extremely common, and almost always cost a flat £25, and five card spread will usually be £40. Any "clarifiers" pulled will simply be an additional £10.
Divination & Tarot Readings
These can be conducted in person or online. I can be occasionally be found at various fairs centring on the spiritual or psychic services. However, an online readings can be just as effective, depending on the preferences of the client.
Time
Each reading begins with 5-10 minutes of preparation, which includes a brief explanation of how the reading will work, and selecting decks and spreads if these haven't already been decided upon.
Each reading ends with 5-10 minutes of "cool down" and grounding, as some readings can be very emotionally and spiritually intense, and both Reader and Client need time to "come back to earth" before moving on to whatever is next.
I generally advise that we spend 10 minutes on each card.
This means that a standard 3-card spread will take approximately one hour. A 5 card spread will be allotted 90 minutes. If larger readings are requested the time will be negotiated, and may include a break, which will be part of the paid time.

The Great Wheel
Pastoral Care
Whether regular Therapy and Counselling is a bit too much (emotionally or financially), or you just like the idea of Catholic Confession but don't want to convert, Quill can be there for you to talk things through.
I am NOT a certified counsellor/therapist, although I have taken training in Peer Mentorship, Pastoral Counselling, and similar courses; these simply do not constitute a medical degree and do not come with a license.
I am, however, still bound by the same rules and laws around privacy, GDPR, etc.
I specialise in matters of the spirit, so if you are experiencing a crisis of faith, or perhaps at the beginning of seeking a new path, a chat with me may be just the tea.
I have a sliding scale for sessions, which includes a non-monetary "FEE" structure. (See the relevant page for more about this unique way of compensating someone for a service you value without involving money!) That being said, £30 for an hour is generally considered a fair starting offer.
