From Welwyn Garden City or Hatfield, a psychic reading or development session can happen on Zoom in your own room, or in person in London on a date we book. Great Northern trains run straight into King's Cross, so the London route is easy, and I email the meeting point once the slot is yours.
This page is written for two groups of people. The first is students and recent graduates at the University of Hertfordshire in Hatfield who have started to notice their intuition and want to understand it. The second is anyone in Welwyn Garden City, Welwyn village or Brookmans Park who is curious about psychic development, a first psychic reading or Reiki. I'm Michelle Virtue, a professionally trained Psychic Medium, Spiritual Coach and Intuitive Teacher, and a certified Reiki Master Practitioner.
A practical note: I don't run anything in Welwyn Garden City or Hatfield, so courses and tuition happen on Zoom or in London too.
Psychic development courses for new and nervous starters
Intuition tends to show itself early and awkwardly. You dream about someone and they ring the next day. You walk into a shared kitchen in halls and know instantly that two flatmates have fallen out. You feel drained around certain people and cannot explain why. None of that is strange, and none of it needs to be frightening, but it does help to learn how to work with it safely. If you've ever wondered whether you might be psychic, that is a good place to start.
That is what my psychic development courses are for. There are three levels, each delivered as live group training, and anyone who would find a group too exposing can do the same material with me privately. Along the way you learn to:
- ground yourself and protect your energy, before anything else;
- notice the difference between a real intuitive hit and ordinary worry;
- work with your psychic senses on purpose rather than by accident;
- strengthen your connection to Spirit and to your own guides;
- build discernment, and later explore mediumship if it calls you.
I am warm as a teacher, and also firm about structure, because developing these abilities without boundaries is how people end up overwhelmed. If you ask during the free consultation, I will tell you what the current syllabus covers and when a new group is starting.
Students and graduates at the University of Hertfordshire
University years are often when intuition gets louder. You are away from home, meeting people from everywhere, making choices about courses, careers and relationships with very little to go on. Some students feel more open than ever before; others feel it as anxiety they cannot place.
If you are studying at the College Lane or de Havilland campus, or you graduated recently and are working out what comes next, a reading or a course can help you sort your instincts from your nerves. I work only with people aged 18 or over, so first-year students are welcome as long as they have had their eighteenth birthday. Everything can be done on Zoom from your room, between lectures or at the weekend.
Graduates often face a different question: the job that was meant to follow the degree has not appeared, or it has and it feels wrong. A reading can help you hear which direction actually feels like yours rather than the one family, friends or the careers fair expected.
Money matters at this age, so I will say it once: a Zoom reading is £75 for 30 minutes or £135 for an hour, and £100 or £160 in person in London. The consultation costs nothing, and it is the honest place to begin if you are unsure whether to spend anything at all.
This was my first experience having any form of psychic reading… as soon as I arrived I was put at ease.

Reiki and energy healing when life gets heavy
Not everyone wants a message. Some people simply feel worn thin: exam pressure, a long commute down the A1(M), caring for a parent, or the kind of tiredness that sleep does not fix. Reiki can help you rest and rebalance. In a session I work with your energy field to release tension and restore a sense of calm, and many people describe feeling lighter afterwards. I give these sessions face to face in London, not over Zoom.
You can read about how it works on my page about Reiki and energy healing. Please treat it as complementary care. Reiki does not replace medical treatment, and if you are unwell, struggling with your mental health or under a doctor's care, keep that support in place and see healing as something alongside it.
A first reading, out of curiosity rather than crisis
Welwyn Garden City was the second garden city, laid out after the First World War with wide green verges, the long lawns of Parkway and houses set back behind hedges. It is a calm place, and it is fine to come to a reading calmly too, out of curiosity rather than crisis. That is a lovely way to start.
The garden city idea was always about more than tidy streets. Its founders believed that the place you live shapes how well you live, that light, green space and community matter to the spirit as much as to the body. I think that belief sits comfortably beside intuitive work. A reading is, in its own way, a chance to tend the inner garden: to see what has grown wild, what needs clearing, and what is ready to flower.
A first reading with me is gentle. I explain what I am doing as I go, using intuition and oracle cards, and you are free to ask questions or simply listen. Topics are entirely yours: relationships, direction, confidence, a decision you keep postponing. If you would like to know more about the online format, my page on readings by video call covers what to expect.
She puts you totally at ease and answers your questions without you having to ask them.

Is Zoom enough for a reading or tuition from Hatfield?
Yes: keep everything on Zoom, because readings and private tuition work just as well from a room in halls or a house share in Hatfield, and you skip the fare. Students on a tight budget often find a single 30-minute reading, or the free consultation, is all they need to begin with.
The one thing that does happen in London is a Reiki or healing session, so save that for a day you are already going in. For a session at home, agree a quiet hour with housemates, use headphones, and avoid booking straight after an exam or a late shift. If deadlines pile up, use the confirmation email to push the slot back until after hand-in.
Getting to King's Cross from Welwyn Garden City
If you would like to come in for a reading or a healing session in person, Great Northern trains from Welwyn Garden City reach King's Cross in about 25 minutes, and some services run to Moorgate instead. Hatfield station, right by the gates of Hatfield House, is on the same line, and Welwyn North and Brookmans Park have stations of their own.
Book through my online calendar, choose London or Zoom, and you will receive the details by email. Plans change, and the confirmation email lets you rebook or cancel if a seminar or a shift clashes. If you are looking at other towns in the county, my wider Hertfordshire page sets out how each one connects to London.
Lastly, a kind reminder that readings, development work and healing are spiritual guidance. They are not a substitute for medical, psychological, legal or financial advice.
