Why I Work by Application, Not Instant Booking

You cannot book me with two clicks. There is a form, and then a conversation, and then — if it is right — a session. People occasionally find that irritating, and I understand why. Everything else in modern life is instant.

Here is my reasoning, plainly.

Not every enquiry should become a session

Some of the people who write to me should be speaking to a doctor, a solicitor, a financial adviser, or a therapist instead of a psychic, and the only way to find that out is to ask before taking any money. A booking widget cannot do that. A ten-minute phone call can, and does, several times a month.

Others want something I do not offer: predictions about a third party's private life, guarantees about outcomes, or reassurance that a decision they have already made is the correct one. Better to establish that on a free call than halfway through an hour they have paid for.

The screening call is part of the work

By the time someone sits down with me, I already know roughly what they are carrying and which discipline is likely to serve them. That means the session itself starts properly rather than spending twenty minutes finding its feet. For an unhurried hour, that preparation matters more than it sounds.

It also means expectations are set. Nobody arrives hoping for something I have already explained I cannot do.

Capacity is real, not a marketing device

I take a limited number of sessions each month. This is not scarcity theatre — there is no counter on this page telling you three slots remain. It is simply that this work is genuinely depleting when done properly, and a practitioner running eight readings a day is not doing it properly. The quality of the fifth session in a day is not the quality of the first, and I would rather decline than dilute.

The consequence is that there is sometimes a wait. I would rather tell you that honestly at the outset than squeeze you in and deliver something tired.

What it means for the price

A £1,200 hour raises reasonable questions, and I do not get defensive about them. What it buys is preparation, an unhurried private session, my full attention rather than my fifth-of-the-day attention, and a follow-up afterwards. It also buys the freedom for me to say "this is not for you" without that costing me anything — which is precisely what keeps the practice honest.

How to start

Send the enquiry form. Tell me what is actually going on, in whatever words you have. I read every one myself, and you will hear back from me personally rather than from an assistant or an autoresponder.

If it is a good fit, we will find a time. If it is not, I will tell you so — and, where I can, point you somewhere better.
