How do you find a reputable Psychic?

I have a dear friend I want to find some answers for his problems. And he has plans for us that I want to be sure about before I say yes.

    Well to be honest, it's going to be very hard nowadays.

    The main thing to look for is if they require payment for their services, they are usually fraudulent. I'm not saying ALL who want to be paid are, just those in my experience.

    I've known several people in my life who've claimed to be mediums and who professed psychic abilities. Out of all of them, only one or two who seemed to genuinely posses some form of ability, whether it be heightened intuition or actual psychic ability - I wouldn't like to speculate here, considered it a curse rather than a gift and refused payment due to this.

    Donations to charities are another thing though. They were happy for this to happen, they just didn't want to be paid for what they considered a bane on their lives.

    Other than that, I'm afraid you risk being taken for a fool by the vast amount of unscrupulous people out there, as you no doubt are aware, hence the question!

    One idea would be to find someone with many years of experience in the many differing aspects of life. Someone grounded enough to be able to use their amassed knowledge towards assessing your situation and advising you accordingly.

    An ability to accurately read body language and a heightened intuitive ability would obviously be of benefit, as would an empathic nature.

    I wish you the best in your search.

    You won't find any kind of psychic (reputable or otherwise) because NO ONE has psychic powers. I know you guys hate to hear this type of answer – but I am sorry, it’s the truth.

    Anyone one tells you they’re a psychic with paranormal powers is lying to you (and at best, themselves as well). The ones who are charging you for their "services” are just trying to rip you off by telling you what you want to hear.

    If they know you or facts about you the technique is called 'hot reading' because they have information to work with. If they don’t know you or anything about you it’s called 'cold reading' – they keep asking questions until they get a 'hit' and they run with it.

    People, people, people – why not try thinking for yourselves. Why not try making your own decisions through clear, relational thinking, logical deduction and your own sense of right and wrong.

    If you actually need help, fine. Ask someone with actual expertise (i.e. ask a lawyer about the law; ask a doctor about a medical problem; ask a psychologist or trained counselor about an emotional problem; ask a certified accountant or financial advisor about money or investment problems, etc, etc, etc).

    What you shouldn’t do is call up some fraud over the phone or go see some con artist and pay them good money for “psychic advice” (i.e. NOTHING).

    “There are no greater liars in the world than quacks - except for their patients.”

    Her name is Mrs. Grace

    She has given me some great readings.

    The minutes are expensive, so if you call, buy the block of time instead.

    There are a LOT of reputaple psychics. If there are some in your area, go meet them. You will know before you pay them if it "feels right" for you.

    Reputable psychics do charge for the services just like any other profession.

    Just keep lokking, online, metaphysical bookstores etc. See who you feel comfortable with.

    You can't find answers for his problems. It is not ethical. You can ask for "what can you do to help etc." Everything that has to do with you.

    Don't get into someone else's life just because. Would you like if someone starts snooping in yours?

    It is very difficult to find a reputable psychic, Because no real psychic will sell his or her services... They just share their service like their gift were shared with them.............
