Psychic Readings in Eastbourne

From Eastbourne, a psychic reading or medium sitting with me is best done on Zoom, in your own home. Face-to-face sittings are London-only, around an hour and a half away on Southern trains to Victoria, so I suggest that trip only if you really want it. The meeting details follow your booking.

A situation I meet often in my work goes something like this. A husband or wife of many years has died. The family have gone home after the funeral, the house has become very quiet, and the person left behind keeps catching themselves about to say something to someone who isn't there. They aren't sure they believe in psychics. They would just like to know their loved one is all right.

If that sounds close to where you are, and you live in Eastbourne or one of the villages around it, this page is for you. I am Michelle Virtue, a professionally trained Psychic Medium, Spiritual Coach and Intuitive Teacher. I have no base in Eastbourne, and I won't pretend otherwise, but a sitting from your own armchair can be every bit as meaningful as one in a room together.

Grief, comfort and a psychic medium for Eastbourne

Eastbourne has long drawn people who want to spend their later years by the sea, in one of the sunniest towns in the country, with the bandstand and the Victorian seafront on one side and the Downs rising behind. That also means many households here are living with loss, sometimes several losses close together. A medium sitting won't take grief away, but it can sometimes bring a sense that the bond hasn't been broken.

Here is how I work. I settle, I open up, and I tell you what I am receiving in simple words: a name, a way of speaking, a memory, a sense of character. I ask you whether it means something rather than guessing. I can't choose who comes forward, and no one can guarantee who will come through. Some people hear clearly from the person they hoped for. Others receive something gentler, a feeling of peace or guidance for the months ahead. I tell you honestly what I have and what I don't.

Michelle is amazing, and so in tune with her guides. My reading was incredibly accurate and gave me much clarity.

When it might be too soon

There is no rule about timing, but in the first raw weeks a sitting can feel overwhelming. Many people find it helps to wait until the practical side of a death has calmed a little. And please remember that a medium is not a counsellor. If grief is making it hard to sleep, eat or get through the day, your GP or a bereavement service can offer support that I can't. A sitting is guidance and comfort, not a substitute for medical, psychological, legal or financial advice.

Why is Zoom the honest answer from Eastbourne?

Because Eastbourne sits about 54 miles from central London, which puts it at the far edge of where I work. The Southern line up to Victoria takes around ninety minutes on a good run, and then there is the journey across town and the long trip home again. For someone who is grieving, or who finds travelling tiring, that is a lot to ask in one day.

So for most people here, an online sitting over Zoom is the sensible way to meet, and it is the one I would recommend. It is a proper video call. You can see my face, I can see yours, and we talk exactly as we would in person. You can have a photograph beside you, a cup of tea, a box of tissues, and nobody needs to see you afterwards until you are ready.

If you would still like to come up once, perhaps for a sitting you want to mark, travel with a friend, choose a late-morning slot so you avoid the early trains from Hampden Park and Polegate, and leave the afternoon free. Many people find the coast looks very welcome on the way home. If mobility, a hospital routine or simple tiredness rule the day out, Zoom from your armchair asks nothing of you.

Setting up a Zoom sitting in Polegate, Willingdon or Pevensey

If you have never used Zoom, it is simpler than it sounds, and many people of every age do it for the first time with me. A few things make it easier.

• Use a tablet or laptop if you have one, propped up at eye level on a few books. A larger screen is more comfortable than a phone for an hour.
• Ask a son, daughter, neighbour or friend to open the link for you and check the sound, then leave you in private. They don't need to stay.
• Sit somewhere you feel at ease, perhaps the chair where you used to talk together.
• Keep a notepad nearby. Some people like to jot down names or details to think about later.
• If the connection drops, don't worry. We simply join again and pick up where we left off.

Zoom readings are £75 for 30 minutes or £135 for an hour. For a first medium sitting, the hour usually feels kinder, because nothing has to be squeezed. You need to be 18 or over to book.

Healing alongside grief

Grief wears the body out, not only the heart. Some people come to me not for a sitting but for rest. I am a Certified Reiki Master Practitioner, and Reiki and energy healing sessions are given in person in London only, so from Hampden Park or Old Town they mean the same train journey as a London sitting. If that trip feels too much while you are grieving, a Zoom reading can be the gentler place to start. Reiki is complementary. It may help you feel calmer and lighter, but it does not replace medical care, and it should sit alongside whatever your doctor advises.

Others want a reading about what comes next: whether to stay in the family home, how to manage a new kind of life, or how to rebuild confidence after years of caring for someone. Those questions matter as much as the grief itself, and a reading can help you see them more clearly.

Michelle identified behaviours and patterns holding me back with astonishing accuracy and provided helpful advice to overcome these.

A first conversation without any pressure

When you can't tell what would help most, start with the free Intuitive Clarity Consultation. Twenty minutes long and held on Zoom, it is a talk, not a reading, and there is nothing to sign up to at the end. You tell me a little about the person you have lost or the question you are carrying, and together we work out whether a medium sitting, some healing or a reading about the road ahead would serve you best. Some people decide to wait, and that is fine too.

Should you one day want a face-to-face meeting, my London readings are there for that, with the meeting details sent on booking. And the Sussex page explains how people from other parts of the county tend to work with me, from Brighton to the Weald.
