Hi Kelly, Unfortunately I don't really know of any mediums in the area (I used to live in Harold Hill too !). I will ask around the other team members for you.
I'm really glad you put the post on here, there are a lot of fraudulent so called mediums around.
For The benefit of anyone reading this, here are a few tips to avoid the crooked ones and find a decent one.
Avoid any 'medium' advertising in newspapers magazines etc. using premium rate phone numbers, they are probably just after your money.
When you select a medium, try and spend a bit of time with them first, see if you feel comfortable with them. See if they have any recommendations from other clients. Do not hand over any money until you are happy.
If a medium is not bona fide they will probably only ask 'leading' questions like 'I feel a loss around you, it may not be recent' (Everyone has suffered a loss at some point in their lives) or 'I see an old woman around you' (We've all lost a grandmother or mother at some point !) It very difficult not to answer these statements without giving things away about your life, it's very tempting to say 'Oh yes I lost so and so two years ago' or I lost my Grandmother last year'. From this information they can make up all sorts of fake details for you. This technique is called 'cold reading' and a lot of 'mediums' are very good at it.
It's human nature to reply to these statements and give things away about your past/family etc.
In my experience a good decent medium will get the name of the departed person fairly quickly, and be able to give you information which only you would know. Remember a good medium is there to give you information and not the other way around.
Hope this helps a little !

Hi, Thanks for the replys I appreciate it. I agree Steve and thats what I man you see so many people advertising their services at crazy rayes i.e the thone lines at £1.50 a min, I dont want to waste my time or money on that.
Lewis I am really interested and I sent you a PM. I want a reading but lots of my friends want one too so I had the idea of having a "party" and everyone comming to have a reading etc? Is this something that you would be able/interested in doing? Could you give me some more info i.e how do you do your readings? how long ae they? prices (you can PM me if you dont want to discuss that on here) I know this sounds a little rude but are you goo? successful in your readings? (please dont take that the wrong way :-))
Thanks again
Kelly
