Questions Deck

Questions Deck started as a tool for therapists. Built originally to help couples therapists give their clients a structured, gentle way to explore their relationship between sessions, it quickly became clear that the same format works beautifully in a much wider range of settings.

Whether you are a therapist, coach, educator, HR professional, or community organiser, Questions Deck gives you a simple way to create a thoughtful, engaging conversation experience directly on your WordPress site.

How it works

Add the shortcode [qdeck_connection_deck] to any page. Visitors choose a level, tap the cover card to begin, and move through your questions one at a time. Cards can be swiped on mobile, clicked through on desktop, or navigated with the keyboard. Questions shuffle on each visit so returning users always get a fresh experience.

Built for therapists and counsellors

The plugin was designed in collaboration with Liminal Therapy, a therapy practice based in Cornwall. The default content reflects a couples therapy context, with three levels of questions designed to help partners explore their history, understand each other more deeply, and build a stronger emotional connection. Tip cards allow therapists to place short reflective prompts between questions, guiding clients through moments where strong feelings might arise.

Useful far beyond therapy

The level and question structure is fully flexible. People use Questions Deck for:

• Couples therapy — give clients structured conversation prompts to use at home between sessions
• Team building — help colleagues connect beyond the surface in workshops or onboarding sessions
• Education — spark discussion in classrooms, seminars, or student wellbeing programmes
• Coaching — guide clients through reflective exercises between appointments
• Community groups — facilitate meaningful conversation in faith groups, peer support circles, or social clubs
• Events and social occasions — create a memorable shared experience at dinners, retreats, or gatherings
