A projective card deck designed for how therapy actually works today

If you already use projective or metaphoric associative cards in your practice, you’ll recognise the problem immediately. The decks with the best therapeutic infrastructure — structured guides, suggested questions, clinical framing — rarely have imagery that genuinely stops a client. The decks with the most striking visuals were designed for something else entirely, and you’ve been borrowing them.
 
WanderNudges was built to close that gap. Imagery that’s visually arresting enough to bypass a client’s defences — paired with per-card usage notes that address what you’ll actually face in session. And unlike most projective card tools on the market, it was designed from the start to work on a screen.

What's in the sampler

Twelve cards. Everything you need to use them.

✔ 12 projective cards

Surreal, oil-painting style imagery across the full thematic range: identity, transitions, agency, grief, and more.

✔ Per-card usage notes

Suggested questions, client types each image opens up, and guidance on unexpected reactions.

✔ Client explainer sheet

A one-pager to share digitally with clients before the exercise, normalising the process.

✔ Screen-optimised format

Designed for Zoom, Teams, Google Meet or any other meeting software. Share via screenshare or send in chat.
"Plenty of card decks on the market, hardly any with real guidance — and where there is guidance, it tends to pose the obvious. These cards give you questions you wouldn't think to ask yourself, and they open the conversation in a direction I wouldn't have taken otherwise."
- Clinical Psychologist, Germany

Three client types this works particularly well for

The intellectualiser

Clients who analyse everything, including therapy itself. Presenting an image sidesteps the analytical loop.

The high-achiever who's lost touch

Clients who function well externally but struggle to access or name what they’re actually feeling.

The client who's bounced off therapy language before

Clients who hear words like “boundaries” or “inner child” and immediately switch off.

How the cards can be used in sessions

01
As a session opener
Share a card on screen and ask: “What does this bring up for you?”
No setup required. A low-pressure entry point that reliably leads somewhere useful.
02
As a closing ritual

At the end of a session, ask the client to pick a card that represents where they’re leaving the conversation. Creates a natural endpoint and something to carry into the week.

03
As a between-session reflective tool

Assign a card for the week alongside the client explainer sheet. Clients return with something concrete — and something they chose themselves.

04
For non-verbal or somatic work​

The imagery bypasses language entirely. Particularly effective with trauma, adolescents, and clients where words are the barrier rather than the bridge.

Designed to disarm, not instruct

Projective work depends on the client trusting the image enough to project into it. Cards that read as therapy worksheets get answered like therapy worksheets.

Every WanderNudges image was thoughtfully created to sit at the intersection of the strange and the warm — specific enough to draw you in, open enough to mean something different to every person who sees it. We kept the strangeness in deliberately. The aesthetic isn’t decoration. It’s the mechanism.
