I use the 'Healing with the Faeries', and the 'Goddess Guidance' oracles... but only as an adjunct to my tarot readings... (I read with the 'Universal Waite' tarot)...
I find them so very useful when giving people bad news... lost job, divorce, an ill child or family member, etc etc...
As part of the reading, at the end where I'm elaborating on the Advice or Outcome card, I will pull out both decks and have my client shuffle, first one deck, then the other... The decks are cut, and the top card turned over... The 'Healing with the Faeries' gives advice as to the direction of healing that needs to take place, and the 'Goddess Guidance' gives the strength required to hold oneself together thru it all...
Now, I use these two decks for women... For men, I adjunct with two cards from the 'PsyCards' oracle... Again, one for healing purposes, and one for strength purposes...
It's so important to give something tangible, I feel, when the reading is not a happy or hopeful one... That tangible thing, to me, is two more cards... two more positive cards to end the reading on... I feel my clients can go away perhaps saddened by what they've seen in the reading, (and usually already felt before they came in, *lol*), but also with a sliver of hope in their heart... that, such a small thing as these two cards, can give them a focus after the tears...
I always make a copy of these two cards from my printer, and cut them to size so they will fit in their purses or wallet... It's just a tangible thing they can hold on to when it gets rough for them...
