What's the Difference Between a Psychic and a Medium? — Psychic Kev Explains
It is one of the most common questions I get asked. Most people are not sure which one they need — or whether there is even a difference. Let me break it down for you in plain English.
IN THIS ARTICLE
What a Psychic Does
My name is Psychic Kev and I have been doing psychic and mediumship readings for over 20 years. I am straight talking and to the point with no nonsense.
A psychic is somebody who tunes into your energy and reads what they feel from that. They pick up on past present and future events and can read into emotions relationship issues and general things you want answers to in life. They can help you with life decisions and help you navigate what is coming up and how to deal with things when it arrives.
"A psychic tunes into your energy and reads what is there — no scripts, no guesswork. Just what comes through."
What a Medium Does
A medium is somebody who connects to energy around you. If you think about it when somebody passes over they become energy and that is exactly what the medium is connecting to. They bring through messages from that energy and relay what a loved one family member or friend wants you to know.
A lot of the time those that have passed over just want you to know that they are ok they are in a different place and that death is not the end of life. They give you evidence so you know exactly who you are connecting with.
Not sure which type of reading is right for you? Just come as you are — we will go from there.
Why People Get Confused Between the Two
A lot of people get confused between a psychic and a medium and it is easy to see why — even online the two words get used interchangeably all the time.
The simple difference
A psychic picks up on emotions, life events, destiny, and how to navigate through life
A medium connects to the spirit world and brings through messages and evidence from those who have passed
Many readers — like Psychic Kev — do both
Two different things but often done by the same person. That is where the confusion usually comes from.
Which One Do You Actually Need
If you want clarity on life then a psychic is what you need. If you want to hear from somebody who has passed over into the spirit world then you would need a medium. If you are not sure just come as you are and a psychic medium can work with both — we will just go wherever the reading takes us.
I am a psychic medium so I connect with both psychic and mediumship energies. That means I can pick up on past present and future events emotions and life path advice but I also receive messages from the spirit world as well. It is a mixture of the two when you come and have a reading with me.
I use no scripts and I am honest and direct with whatever comes through for you. I also offer WhatsApp readings if you want something more flexible — a short recorded reading delivered to you either within 60 minutes or within 24 hours depending on what suits you.
How Psychic Kev Works
Online Reading or Face to Face — Is There a Difference
There is no real difference between having a reading online and a reading in person. A lot of people think that face to face is easier for the medium to pick up on the energy and to an extent that is true. But what you have to think about is that those in the spirit world are not bound by time or space.
They know when you have booked a reading and they come to the medium at that point when the connection is made. So whether you are sitting in front of me or on the other side of the world the energy still comes through.
A psychic works slightly differently. They tune into your energy when they are talking to you and pick up on feelings thoughts and what is on your life path. They give you guidance based on what they are receiving at that time.
Signs You Might Be Ready for a Reading
If you have been thinking about a loved one who has passed and they have been on your mind for a while that is often a sign it is time for a reading. Or if you are going through something difficult and finding yourself wondering how that person would advise you that is also a good indication.
At the end of the day all they want to do is help and a reading can be the way they get that message through to you.
Do I need to prepare anything?
Not really — just come as you are with an open mind
If you want to connect with a loved one it helps to think of that person a few days before your reading
It puts out a signal to them that you want to connect and makes the connection easier for both of you
Common Questions Before Your First Reading
What if nothing comes through?
That is very rare but if it does happen you will be given the option to rebook at a later date
Or I will give you a refund — I just want you to be happy and get clarity from your reading
I will always let you know before we start if I feel the connection is not there
What a Genuine Reading Feels Like
In a genuine reading you will feel the energy around you. You will not get vague general statements — you will get specific personal information that only you and whoever has passed over would know. That is how the spirit world works.
They give you evidence so you know exactly who you are connecting with. There is no fear in having a psychic mediumship reading. Your energy is protected the medium's energy is protected and you are in a safe space throughout.
"You will not get statements. You will get specific personal information that only you would know. That is the difference."
How Psychic Kev Discovered His Gift
I discovered that I could connect with the spirit world and do psychic readings when I was around 20 years old. At the time I thought I was picking up on some kind of bad energy around me so I consulted somebody I knew who understood these things. They put me in touch with a Reiki healer who gave me a healing session and told me that I had a lot of energy within me and that I needed to explore that more thoroughly.
After that I decided to learn Reiki myself and went on to gain my Reiki 1 2 and 3 certifications which makes me a fully qualified Reiki master. During that same period I became a member of a home psychic circle where I learned how to connect to the spirit world and how to read people in a psychic way. From there I moved into doing private readings and eventually online readings and I have not stopped since.
That was over 20 years ago now and every reading I do still comes from that same place — honest straightforward and genuine.
