Life is filled with uncertainty, and at times, we find ourselves at crossroads, searching for answers. Whether it's a personal crisis, loss of a loved one, or simply a quest for self-discovery, many individuals turn to psychic mediums for guidance. But when is the right time to seek their counsel, and why? In this blog post, we'll explore the various situations in which consulting a psychic medium can be beneficial, the types of guidance they provide, and how to approach the experience with an open mind.
Understanding the Role of a Psychic Medium
Psychic mediums act as intermediaries between the physical and spiritual worlds. They possess unique abilities that enable them to communicate with spirits, often serving as a source of comfort and clarity for those seeking answers. This communication can come in various forms, including clairvoyance (seeing), clairaudience (hearing), and clairsentience (feeling).
Many people find comfort in knowing that their deceased loved ones are still present in some way. A medium can help translate these messages, offering insight and closure that one may desperately need during times of grief. Additionally, psychic mediums may provide guidance on personal issues, relationships, and life decisions, helping individuals navigate their paths more effectively.

Signs You May Want to Consult a Psychic Medium
Experiencing Grief or Loss
One of the most common reasons individuals seek the help of a psychic medium is after the loss of a loved one. The process of grieving can be overwhelming, and many people look for signs that their loved ones are still around. A medium can connect with the energy of the deceased, delivering messages that can provide solace and reconnection. Connecting with the spirit of a loved one may assist in the healing process, allowing the individual to find peace and closure. Once more as I stress in all my blog posts, mediumship can only occur if the spirit is present with the medium and this is not always the case, therefore to promise any client that if they should book a session will be a guarantee of spirit contact that is a lie! It is NOT up to the medium or the client, it is solely up to the spirit. Therefore, as it is not a guarantee no one should offer mediumship only sessions but include it in their services on the pretence it could occur.
Remember: Think of mediumship like a mobile phone. You'd think that owning a mobile will automatically mean you can call any number in the world and someone will always answer. How many of you choose not to answer an unknown number? Think of the medium as that unknown number calling your loved ones, if they don't recognise it do you think they will answer and decide to divulge everything to this complete stranger? Whilst some will hear your call and be there for you, there will be ones that won't speak or won't feel comfortable sharing intimate details with a stranger, not because they don't love you but perhaps because they might think that isn't something they want exploited and that should be respected.. do you get it now?
Seeking Clarity in Life Decisions
Life is filled with choices, some of which can be life-altering. Whether you are considering a career change, a move, or a significant relationship decision, a psychic medium can offer insight. By tapping into their abilities, they can help you see the potential outcomes and think through the implications of your choices. This clarity can empower you as you make your decisions, providing a sense of confidence that might be missing. A psychic medium can only relay what they see, feel and since the reading is not theirs, their only role is to relay the information on to the client, not pretend to know what that client is going through. And at absolutely NO time whatsoever should a client divulge to whoever is handling the booking or to the psychic medium before that session has begun what they want to know, the only time this should be allowed is during an absent session where the questions are placed inside a sealed envelope and only responded to AFTER the reading has ended as one would normally at the end a reading then ask what they wanted to know. Many times the answers would had already have been covered during the connection.

Navigating Relationship Challenges
Relationships can be complicated, deeply affecting our emotional well-being. If you are facing challenges in your personal or professional relationships, consulting a psychic medium may offer insights into underlying issues. They can help identify dynamics at play and provide guidance on how to foster healthier interactions. Understanding your own emotions and behaviors, as well as those of others, can lead to stronger, more fulfilling relationships. Sometimes understanding the spirit path one is on can greatly assist in understanding the dynamics of the influences at play. We are all spiritual beings, living in a ever-changing spiritual world.
Trusting Your Intuition
As you consider seeking guidance, it's crucial to trust your intuition. Many people feel a pull or a sense of urgency that leads them to contact a psychic medium. It's essential to listen to that inner voice, as it often guides you toward actions that can enhance your life. If you are feeling uncertain, anxious, or just plain curious, reaching out to a medium can help clarify your thoughts and feelings. But it's also important NOT to become addicted. Leaving a healthy gap of at least 3-6 months between readings offers a chance for timing of events to unfold or what is in the dark to come to light. Remember: A reading won't fix a relationship or get you the job you want, it can reveal pitfalls or roadblocks set by your attitude or others but don't become despondent if that reading reveals the opposite to what you want to hear. As much as we would love every reading to have our clients walk away happy and kicking their heels that they are getting what they want, it isn't always the case. And if you bounce from reader to reader because you aren't happy with what comes through you're only getting a continuation of what the previous reading gave you. So wait, let things have a chance to unfold or heed the advice and perhaps that can help you stay one step ahead instead of becoming paranoid. Think of a reading like being in the dark with someone handing you a torch to see your way ahead, if you see an obstacle you will navigate around it you won't walk right into it, but sometimes you can lead a horse to water but you certainly can't force it to drink.
Preparing for Your Session
Once you have decided to seek a psychic medium, preparation is key. Here are some actionable steps to take before your session:
Reflect on Your Intentions: Think about what you hope to gain from the experience. Do you want information on a specific topic, or are you open to receiving whatever messages come through?
Write Down Questions: Having specific questions in mind can help guide the session and ensure that you address the issues that matter most to you. Only ask the questions at the end of the reading to avoid contamination of what comes through. If you are feeding the information to the medium, you have already told them literally what to tell you there's nothing psychic about that! I prefer to not know the name, sex or even see my clients and have found this way I cannot be accused of reading body language (because sessions are over the phone and not via video link) and not knowing their name or sex means I am totally embracing what I am being shown by spirit.
Keep an Open Mind: Go into the session with an open heart and a willingness to embrace the messages you receive. Sometimes, the guidance might not align with what you expect, but it could offer new perspectives. Expect the unexpected, if you go in to a reading only wanting to hear what you want to hear you close yourself off from the messages that you need to hear and limit the flow. If you are asked to think of a question when a psychic medium is connecting or using the tools of cartomancy (tarot) don't think of open ended questions ie: 'Am I going to get what I want?' This is open-ended and can relate to anything... and could have the reading jump all over the place as it isn't specific, spirit just like you, don't want you to ask airy-fairy questions or treat them as if they are expected to read your mind. Ask them in your mind as if you would want someone to ask you a question clearly stating what specifically they want to know, so you know what they are talking about. Naturally at the end of the reading you are then able to ask other questions directly to the psychic medium pertaining to further clarifying the message from the reading based on that specific question if it's not clear enough or other questions. Often a good reading will have already answered your questions before you even need to ask anything at the end.
Avoid listening to other people's problems: When a reading is being conducted, in order to connect to your energy and those who may be close to you spiritually, the medium may pick up on other people you've come into contact with which might include their drama's, or flashes of things that are being done that make zero sense to the medium and sometimes won't make sense to the client until they happen. If there has been someone using you as an emotional sink to dump their problems these visions might include the events unfolding for that person. Just as our energy field is always moving around our being the problems of others can attach to your energy field and eventually move into your path. So, unless you are able to debrief after listening to other people's problems, redirect them to seek proper counselling so you aren't welcoming their problems into your life as a new host to attach themselves to.

Common Misconceptions About Psychic Mediums
They Are Not Fortune Tellers
Many people confuse psychic mediums with fortune tellers. While both can offer insights, mediums primarily focus on spiritual connections rather than predicting specific events. Their role is to facilitate communication between the physical world and the spiritual realm. Having realistic expectations will enhance your experience and understanding of what a medium can offer.
Not All Mediums Are the Same
Just as with any profession, there are varying degrees of skill and specialties among psychic mediums. Some may excel in connecting with spirits, while others may focus more on providing intuitive guidance. Researching and finding a medium who resonates with you is crucial to having a satisfying experience. The best referral is word of mouth so don't be afraid to ask around, but be mindful if that person has had an experience where they unknowingly told the medium upfront what they wanted to know that really can't be 100% reliable as they may have contaminated their sessions without realising it by either talking too much or giving more information than a simple yes or no when asked if something makes sense. It's great to have validation, but leave all the in-depth stuff till the end. In my readings if someone brings something up I advise them that if they do this and I happen to get that come up I cannot repeat that as that has already been divulged by the client, so I kindly request they leave the questions and any other detail for after the session.
Skepticism is Normal
It’s completely normal to feel skeptical about whether psychic mediums genuinely offer insights. Many individuals find it challenging to believe in supernatural connections. Being open to the possibility without expectations can lead to a more fulfilling experience. Trust in your feelings during the session; if something resonates strongly with you, it may be significant. The saddest part is that although skepticism is healthy, to tar someone with a brush labelling them a charlatan because you have heard of people who aren't genuine is completely unfair to that psychic medium. It's like having a bad experience with a plumber or builder that rips you off then labelling all people from that industry as dishonest. My point is simple, we are all different and how one may work may not be how another works. But leaving offensive comments on their social media posts calling them all the names under the sun when you have never had a session with or by them is inviting bad Karma. Remember, you or your loved one might work in an industry where you pride yourself and have built a solid honest reputation, would you want someone sabotaging yours or your loved ones reputation because of their experience with someone dishonest?
Setting Boundaries and Ethical Considerations
When considering a session with a psychic medium, it’s important to set clear boundaries. Take a moment to reflect on any topics that may feel too personal or sensitive, and make sure you feel safe and supported throughout the process. Open, honest communication—on both sides—helps create a space for truly meaningful insight.
It’s also wise to bring a healthy sense of discernment when choosing a medium. Look for those who come recommended by word of mouth or through heartfelt testimonials. Authentic, ethical practitioners respect your journey and will never reach out unsolicited claiming to have a message—they allow the client to come to them in their own time. Likewise, genuine mediums won’t place pressure on clients to pay more for continued information. If a session runs long and a client chooses to offer more as a gesture of appreciation, that’s entirely up to them—but it should never be a requirement.
I’ve found, through experience, that generosity flows both ways. In the early days, some of my longer readings extended for hours, offered at a flat rate with no expectation of more—even when there were extra materials involved. While I don’t offer marathon sessions anymore due to scheduling, I occasionally extend a reading through a tea break when led to. Some clients choose to acknowledge this with a donation, while others may not—and that’s okay. Kindness, like spirit, has its own rhythm and what goes around comes around.
It’s worth noting that just as there are practitioners who may take advantage, there are also clients who unintentionally overlook the medium’s time and energy. Mutual respect is what keeps the connection strong and the work sacred.
Empowering Yourself through Psychic Insights
Consulting with a psychic medium can be empowering. The insights gained during a session can promote self-growth and encourage you to embrace your life journey with a renewed perspective. While a medium may provide answers or guidance, remember that you hold the power to shape your destiny. Using the information received from the session, you can take proactive steps toward achieving your goals and improving your life.
It's also beneficial to keep a journal of your experiences, reflections, and insights gained during your time with a medium. This practice allows you to track your personal growth and revisit the messages that resonate with you over time.

Final Thoughts on Seeking Guidance
Seeking guidance from a psychic medium can be a transformative experience, providing comfort, clarity, and direction in moments of uncertainty. Whether you are coping with loss or navigating life's challenges, reaching out for spiritual advice can help illuminate your path. Remember to approach the experience with an open heart, set clear intentions, and trust your intuition.
