Psychic Reading Questions, Answered

Readings

What happens in a psychic reading with Michelle?

In a reading I use psychic insight, oracle cards and energy awareness to explore what is on your mind. We might look at relationships, life direction, a career change, confidence or emotional blocks. You don't need to explain your situation first. I share what comes through, give you time to ask questions and aim to leave you with clarity, reassurance and practical next steps.

What can a psychic reading help with?

People book readings when they feel confused, uncertain or emotionally heavy, or when they want clarity about relationships, relationship patterns, career shifts, life direction, confidence or spiritual growth. A reading can help you see a situation from a fresh angle and choose your next step. It offers guidance and reflection, and it is not a substitute for medical, psychological, legal or financial advice.

Can a psychic reading predict my future?

A reading offers guidance, not guarantees. I share the energy and possibilities I sense around a situation, but the future isn't fixed and your choices still shape it. I'd be wary of any reader who promises certain outcomes. The most useful readings help you understand where you are now and what might help, so you can move forward with more confidence.

Is there a minimum age for a reading?

Yes, all clients must be 18 or over. This applies to every reading, whether on Zoom or in person in London, and to the 30-minute, 60-minute and Clarity Trilogy sessions alike. Readings are a space for guidance and reflection, and they don't replace professional advice of any kind, which is why I work only with adults.

Intuitive coaching

Do you work with founders and business owners?

Yes. Much of my work is ongoing one-to-one intuitive coaching and psychic readings for women, founders, entrepreneurs and business owners who want clarity and confident decision-making. We look at the patterns and energy around a decision as well as the practical steps. Everyone is welcome, and the free 20-minute Intuitive Clarity Consultation is the place to start.

Is intuitive coaching the same as business or financial advice?

No. Intuitive coaching combines intuitive insight with practical reflection and planning, but it is not financial, legal, medical or psychological advice. I help you see a situation more clearly and decide what feels right, and I will always encourage you to take qualified professional advice where a decision needs it. Many clients use our sessions alongside their accountant or adviser.

What are the Butterfly Transformation Packages?

The Butterfly Transformation Packages are my signature high-touch mentoring programmes, combining intuitive coaching, energy work and bespoke strategy to elevate your frequency, vision and real-world abundance. They range from The Larva Foundation to The Butterfly Flight VIP Experience. Every package begins with a Clarity Session, so we can shape the work around what you need before you commit.

Booking & prices

How much does a psychic reading cost?

A 1:1 reading on Zoom costs £75 for 30 minutes or £135 for 60 minutes. A 1:1 reading in person in London costs £100 for 30 minutes or £160 for 60 minutes. The 60-minute and in-person sessions leave more room for deeper work, including energy healing and energetic realignment. The 20-minute Intuitive Clarity Consultation on Zoom is free.

What is the free Intuitive Clarity Consultation?

The Intuitive Clarity Consultation is a free 20-minute conversation on Zoom. It isn't a psychic reading. We talk about where you are spiritually, emotionally and intuitively, and which reading, course, mentoring pathway or package might suit you. It's a relaxed way to get a sense of how I work, ask questions and decide on your next step with no pressure.

What is the Clarity Trilogy?

The Clarity Trilogy is a package of three 30-minute readings on Zoom for £191.25, which saves 15%, or £33.75, compared with booking them separately. It suits people who want ongoing support through a period of change rather than a single session. You book the first reading online, and the second and third sessions are arranged after that first reading.

How do I reschedule or cancel a booking?

You can reschedule or cancel from the confirmation email you receive after booking. Bookings run through the online scheduling calendar, so the link in that email takes you straight to your appointment. If you have any trouble, call 07482 343459 between 9am and 5pm, seven days a week, and I'll help you sort it out.

How can I contact you, and when are you available?

You can call me on 07482 343459, or +44 7482 343459 from outside the UK. My hours are 9am to 5pm, seven days a week. You can also send a message through the contact page on this website, or find me on Instagram at @butterflyacademyofpsychics and on TikTok at @butterflyacademy_psy. For readings, the quickest route is the online booking calendar.

Zoom & in person

Are Zoom readings as good as in-person readings?

Yes, many people find Zoom readings just as meaningful, because the connection doesn't depend on being in the same room. Zoom also means you can have a reading from anywhere, in your own space, without travelling across London. In-person readings suit those who prefer meeting face to face. Both formats use the same approach of psychic insight, oracle cards and energy awareness.

I live outside the UK. How do I book the right time?

When you book online, you can change the time zone in the booking calendar so that appointment times show in your local time. Your confirmation email will then reflect that time. Zoom readings work from anywhere in the world, so you only need a private space, a stable internet connection and a working camera and microphone.

Where do in-person readings take place?

In-person readings take place in London. The Butterfly Academy is a service-area business and doesn't have a public street address. If you have questions about where we'll meet before your appointment, call 07482 343459 between 9am and 5pm, any day of the week. If travel is difficult, a Zoom reading offers the same approach from wherever you are.

Mediumship

Can you connect with a specific loved one who has passed?

I always go into a mediumship reading with an open heart, but no medium can guarantee who will come through or what they will say. Sometimes the person you hope to hear from connects, and sometimes someone else steps forward. I'll be honest with you about what I receive and won't fill silences with guesswork. Coming with openness rather than one fixed expectation usually helps.

How soon after a loss should I have a mediumship reading?

There's no set rule, and it depends on how you're feeling. Some people find comfort in a reading fairly soon after a loss, while others need time before it feels helpful. If your grief feels raw or overwhelming, it may be kinder to wait. A reading can sit alongside support from friends, your GP or a bereavement counsellor, but it doesn't replace them.

What is the difference between a psychic and a medium?

A psychic reads the energy around you and your situation, offering insight into patterns, choices and possibilities. A medium communicates with people in Spirit who have passed. I'm a professionally trained Psychic Medium, so I work in both ways. During a reading, what comes through depends on what you need and what Spirit offers.

Healing

What happens in a Reiki or energy healing session?

I'm a certified Reiki Master Practitioner. In a healing session, you relax while I work with your energy to encourage balance and release what feels heavy or stuck. Many people describe feeling calmer and lighter afterwards, though experiences vary. Sessions are tailored to you, and you're always welcome to ask questions so the session feels safe and comfortable. Healing can also form part of a 60-minute or in-person reading.

Does Reiki replace medical treatment?

No. Reiki and energy healing are complementary practices and never replace medical care. They can sit alongside treatment from your GP or other healthcare professionals, and many people use them to support relaxation and emotional wellbeing. Please keep taking any prescribed treatment and follow your doctor's advice. If you have a health concern, speak to a medical professional first.

How much does an energy healing session cost?

Healing sessions don't have published prices online. The best starting point is the free 20-minute Intuitive Clarity Consultation on Zoom, where we can talk about what you're looking for and which kind of session would help. You can also send a message through the contact page or call 07482 343459 between 9am and 5pm.

Courses & mentoring

What psychic development courses do you offer?

I offer structured psychic development courses across three levels of live group training, which are also available privately one to one. The courses help you develop intuition, expand your psychic abilities, strengthen your connection to Spirit, build discernment and develop mediumship in a safe, nurturing setting. I share the current syllabus and next start dates at the free Clarity Consultation.

Can complete beginners join a course?

Yes, beginners are welcome, and private mentoring is also designed for people who are just starting out. The training starts from strong foundations such as grounding, self-trust and discernment, and you practise in a supportive environment. If you're unsure which starting point suits you, we can talk it through at the free 20-minute Clarity Consultation on Zoom.

What is private psychic development mentoring?

Private Psychic Development and Mentorship is a series of tailored one-to-one sessions for beginners or for people deepening abilities they already have. We work on self-trust, intuitive awareness, overcoming blocks and building a confident, grounded approach to your gifts. The pace is flexible and shaped around you. To discuss whether it suits you, book the free Clarity Consultation or get in touch.

Events & corporate

Do you run corporate wellness workshops?

Yes. I offer corporate experiences for teams and organisations, drawing on my earlier leadership roles in Banking and Social Care. Workshops focus on Intuition and Strategic Decision-Making, or on Mindfulness and Energy Recalibration for stress resilience, focus and corporate wellness. Each one is shaped around your team. To discuss dates, numbers and format, please get in touch through the contact page.

Can you host a private event or celebration?

Yes. I create custom intuitive circles and guided experiences for private gatherings, luxury events, retreats and special celebrations. Each event is designed around your guests and the kind of experience you'd like them to have, from a calm, reflective circle to something more celebratory. Please share your date, guest numbers and ideas through the contact page, and I'll come back to you.
