What to Expect from Your Psychic Reading with Chris Bennett

Whether you’re seeking insight into your life’s direction through an online tarot reading or a connection with a loved one through evidential mediumship, you deserve to know exactly what this work is, what it offers, and where its edges are.

The Heart of It

A reading is a map, not a verdict.

You’ll hear what’s unfolding, what may be approaching, and what your loved ones in spirit want you to know. What you’ll never hear from me is a fixed date, a yes-or-no ruling, or a decision made on your behalf. Your free will stays exactly where it belongs: with you.

The Two Services at a Glance

Life Path Tarot Reading

A reflective look at where you are, the patterns shaping you, and what may unfold over time.

Ten cards, one map. Online via Zoom, 30 minutes.

Preparation matters here. Open-ended questions welcome.

Evidential Mediumship Reading

A connection with those who’ve passed, built on evidence that life continues, with messages bespoke to you.

No tarot cards. Online via Zoom.

Nothing to prepare. Simply arrive open.

What to Expect from a Life Path Tarot Reading

A mirror with a window in it.

A Life Path Tarot Reading is a reflective psychic tarot session, conducted online, that helps you see yourself more clearly.

Much of what surfaces will be something you already sense but haven’t yet put into words. Hearing it spoken aloud, by someone with no stake in your choices, tends to land differently.

The best tarot readings tell you what you need to hear, which often isn’t what you want to hear.

How I Actually Read the Cards

People often ask: “Do you just go off the meanings of each card?”

Fair question. Here’s the honest answer.

Every card has its traditional meaning, the one it has carried for over a century. That never changes.

What makes a reading different is that cards don’t speak alone. They tell a story around one another, and my work is piecing that story together.

Think of it this way: one card is a word. Ten cards are a sentence. The message lives in how they sit together, and that message belongs to you alone.

Clairvoyant impressions sometimes come through on top of the cards, though not always. Both experiences are a natural part of the process, since nothing about this work can be forced. What I promise is simple: the messages you receive will be specific to you.

Every Life Path Reading Is a Celtic Cross

Ten cards. One complete portrait of your life.

Every Life Path Tarot Reading uses the Celtic Cross tarot spread, the most respected spread in tarot, refined over more than a hundred years of practice.

Why this spread? It doesn’t answer one narrow question. It maps everything moving through your life at once:

  1. The core of your situation. Where you are right now, the heart of it all
  2. Your obstacle or challenge. What’s crossing you, the tension working with or against you
  3. Your strengths and resources. What you already have to draw on, whether you’ve noticed it or not
  4. Your past. What’s leaving your life, the influence already fading out
  5. Your hopes and fears. What crowns your thoughts, so often the same thing wearing two faces
  6. Your potential near future. What’s approaching, the energy moving toward you next
  7. Your ego and sense of self. How you see yourself in the middle of it all
  8. Your external circumstances. The environment surrounding you, plus how others view you
  9. Your emotions. What you’re truly feeling beneath what you’re showing
  10. Your potential outcome. The natural trajectory if nothing changes

Ten positions, ten cards, and the story that emerges between them is where the reading truly lives.

By the time we finish, you won’t have a verdict. You’ll have a map.

On Forecasting

Yes, the cards look ahead. Positions six and ten speak directly to what may be approaching and where things are heading. That’s foreshadowing, and it’s part of what you’re here for.

The distinction I hold is this: a forecast shows you the weather you may be walking into. It doesn’t decide whether you bring an umbrella. Every card that points forward assumes you’ll keep making choices, and you will.

What You’re Truly Paying For

The Short Version

You’re reserving my time, presence, and preparation.

The specific message, or how much comes through, can’t be promised in advance.

Sessions are 30 minutes, held online via Zoom.

You’ll receive a free audio and video recording of your session.

The insight that comes through can be invaluable, but no honest reader can promise its depth or direction ahead of time. That unpredictability is part of authentic intuitive work.

Some sessions reach a natural close a little early, others fill the full window. When a reading arrives at its natural conclusion, it has given what it was meant to give in that sitting.

What You Can Expect

  • A reflective, psychologically informed look at where you are now and the influences shaping your path
  • A sense of what may unfold over the months ahead, held lightly, with your choices always in the picture
  • Insight into recurring patterns and blind spots you may not have noticed
  • Validation of your own intuition so you feel more confident in your choices
  • Unbiased guidance free from judgment or agenda
  • A safe space for reflection that supports growth, healing, and clarity
  • A free audio and video recording of your session to listen back to whenever you need it

No two sessions are ever the same, because no two lives are alike.

What I Don’t Do

These boundaries protect the quality of your reading. Most of them apply to both services, and I’ve noted where they differ.

  • Yes-or-no questions.

    “Should I or shouldn’t I.” “Will I or won’t I.” “Does he or doesn’t he.” Questions like these ask me to hand you a verdict, and the moment a reading collapses into a single word, it strips you of the very thing this experience is meant to return to you: your own agency.

    Instead of “Should I leave my job?” we explore “What’s keeping me stuck in my current work?” That reframe is the entire difference between a parlor trick and real insight.

  • Fixed dates or timelines.

    The cards show direction and momentum, not a calendar. When a reading points toward something approaching, it’s describing a current, not booking an appointment.

  • Readings about other people.

    Your children, your parents, your spouse, your coworkers: none of them are in the room, none of them have asked, and their paths belong to them.

    What I can read is your side of every relationship: your patterns, your role, your heart in it. That’s where the real insight lives anyway.

  • Reunions, exes, or how someone else feels about you.

    “Will we get back together?” isn’t something tarot is designed to answer. It often points to a grief that deserves real support, and if you’re moving through a painful separation, a licensed therapist will serve you far better than any psychic can.

    I’ll gladly reflect on your patterns and your path. Speaking for someone who isn’t present is a different matter.

  • Medical, legal, or financial advice.

    Those belong in the hands of licensed professionals, full stop.

  • Knowing “everything” about you.

    A reading reflects your energy, patterns, and choices. It’s not an invasion of privacy, though specific details do sometimes surface on their own.

  • Making your decisions for you.

    My role is to illuminate the possibilities in front of you. Choosing among them is yours, and I’ll champion that every time.

An Honest Word Before You Book

If what you’re after is a definitive verdict, a guaranteed outcome, or a reading about someone else, I’m not the right fit, and I’d rather you know that now.

If you’re open to what needs to be said, you’re exactly who this work is for.

Why This Approach Matters

Reflection alongside forecasting isn’t a compromise. It’s the whole point.

Combining psychic sensitivity with tarot symbolism gives you a reading that’s both spiritual and psychological. You see what’s really driving your thoughts and feelings, from an unbiased perspective.

Rather than handing you a single outcome, I guide you through what’s unfolding, how it may affect you, and the choices available in shaping what comes next.

How to Prepare for Your Tarot Reading

I tried skipping this step so you don’t have to. Here’s why it matters.

This Section Is for Tarot Only

Everything below applies to a Life Path Tarot Reading. A Mediumship Reading asks nothing of you in advance. If that’s what you’ve booked, feel free to skip to the Mediumship section, where I explain why.

Option 1: Prepare 1 to 3 open-ended questions about yourself, your growth, or the themes you’re experiencing.

Why Open-Ended Questions Matter

This isn’t a style preference. It’s the difference between a reading that works and one that can’t.

A closed question has one exit: yes or no. It slams the door on everything the cards are trying to show you.

An open-ended question swings the door wide. It gives the reading room to reveal what you didn’t know to ask about, and that’s almost always where the most valuable insight is hiding.

Closed questions get you a verdict. Open-ended questions get you understanding.

Questions like:

  • “What am I not seeing clearly about my current situation?”
  • “What inner patterns are repeating for me right now?”
  • “How can I move forward in alignment with who I truly am?”

Now, the part almost everyone skips. Please don’t be almost everyone.

  1. Write your questions down on paper. Physically. With a pen.
  2. Do it at least 24 hours before your session, and leave the paper face-up near your bed.
  3. Keep them to yourself. Not before the session, not during it.
  4. At the very end, read them aloud, and we’ll see together how many were already answered.

Why Paper, Why 24 Hours

Every week I meet a new client, ask if they wrote their questions down, and hear the same reply: “No, but I have them in my mind.”

Or the scramble begins, hunting for a pen while the session clock runs, writing like homework is due.

Neither one works, and here’s the honest reason: questions in your head are still forming. Questions on paper have settled.

Writing them down a full day early creates a subconscious thread, one that’s been quietly humming in you for 24 hours before we ever meet. That thread is what I follow during your reading.

A question scribbled 30 seconds before we start hasn’t had time to become part of you yet.

Here’s the Fascinating Part

Think about what this actually tests.

You write three questions. You never speak them. Then at the end of your session, you read them aloud and discover how many were answered without you saying a single word.

There’s no cold reading in that, no fishing, no clues to work from.

That’s evidence you experience firsthand, and it’s exactly the kind of proof a real psychic service should be able to offer.

This technique, first shared by Canadian psychic medium Brough Perkins, often creates a stronger connection and deeper insights.

Option 2: Bring no questions at all.

Arrive with an open mind, ready to hear whatever comes through.

Please Note

Choosing this option naturally produces a broader, more general reading. That’s the nature of an open sitting, not grounds for dissatisfaction or refund.

After Your Reading Concludes

The Short Version

Once a session ends, it ends. Follow-up questions by email, or anywhere outside a booked session, aren’t something I’m able to offer.

Your free audio and video recording carries the session forward for you.

Returning clients: no more than four sessions a year, roughly once a season. This applies to both services.

I hold these boundaries precisely because I care about this work.

Here’s the honest, human reason. I’m one person, and I see a lot of people.

I think of my clients often, truly. What I can’t do is keep providing for everyone in the little time I have to myself, and the best psychics in the world will tell you the same thing: nothing from a previous session is remembered. Each sitting arrives fresh, and that’s part of what keeps it honest.

That’s exactly why every session includes a free audio and video recording. The recording remembers everything, word for word, so you can return to it whenever you need. Insights have a way of meaning more the second time through.

The integrity of every reading depends on it living fully within its own dedicated, undistracted time. You deserve my complete presence in your session, and so does every person who sits with me after you.

Spacing sessions out gives the insights room to breathe, settle, and unfold in your life. Rushing back rarely serves you, and I’d always rather protect your healing than fill my calendar.

Please hear this with all the warmth I mean it: I will never tell you whether you should or shouldn’t do anything, including whether to book another reading. Trusting you to navigate your own life is one of the deepest forms of respect I can offer.

A Different Kind of Sitting

What to Expect from an Evidential Mediumship Reading

Evidence first. Comfort follows.

An Evidential Mediumship Reading is an online psychic session focused entirely on connecting with loved ones who have passed.

The purpose: comfort, closure, and evidence that life continues.

As an evidential medium, I receive symbolic impressions through clairvoyance and other intuitive abilities that validate your ongoing connection to the spirit world. The messages that follow are bespoke to you, because the people delivering them knew you.

Notice this section looks different from the rest of the page. That’s intentional. Mediumship is a different service, a different sitting, and a different kind of experience from tarot, and it deserves its own space.

Where the Focus Sits

A mediumship reading looks across, not ahead.

Your loved ones in spirit don’t step forward to forecast your future. They come through to show you they’re present, aware of your life, and still connected to you. The comfort they offer is about the relationship you share, not the calendar in front of you.

If forward-looking insight is what you’re seeking, a Life Path Tarot Reading is the sitting built for that.

Nothing to Prepare

The paper, the pen, the questions written 24 hours ahead: none of that belongs here. That ritual exists for tarot, where you bring the question and the cards respond to it.

Mediumship works the other way around. The spirit world brings the message. You don’t need to guide it, request it, or write anything down.

All I Ask of You

Show up rested, with a quiet space and an open heart.

Please don’t share details ahead of time. Let the evidence arrive on its own, then confirm it. That’s what makes it evidence.

A simple “yes, I understand” or “no, that doesn’t fit” is the most helpful thing you can say during the sitting. The connection strengthens when you acknowledge what lands, without explaining it.

You’re Reserving My Time Here Too

The Short Version

You’re paying for my time, preparation, and the sacred space I hold.

Who steps forward, and what they share, can’t be promised in advance.

You’ll receive a free audio and video recording of your session.

I prepare for every sitting through deep breath work and meditation long before you join. That preparation is real. The connection that follows, while often profound, can never be guaranteed.

What You Can Expect

  • Evidential details such as initials (sometimes names), personality traits, emotions, and personal anecdotes
  • A clear sense of presence, confirmation that your loved ones remain aware of your life and still play a role in it
  • Messages delivered with compassion and integrity, focused on what you most need to hear rather than what you may want to hear
  • Healing perspective that often brings relief, affirmation, and a renewed sense of connection
  • A free audio and video recording so the messages you receive are never lost

What I Don’t Control

  • Who comes through.

    Spirits choose to step forward on their own. You may be longing for one loved one, and another may arrive instead. That happens more often than you’d think, and it’s rarely without reason.

  • Specific messages, details, or outcomes.

    Every session is different, with no guarantee of who or what will be communicated.

  • Decisions on your loved one’s behalf.

    Your choices stay yours. The people who loved you in life wouldn’t take that from you, and neither will I.

  • Questions about the living.

    This sitting is for connection with those who’ve passed. Your living relationships belong in a Life Path Tarot Reading, where I’ll read your side of them.

Fun Fact Before You Go

No two tarot shuffles will ever be the same in the history and future of humanity.

The probability of repeating the exact same shuffle is virtually impossible: 1 in 1 followed by 78 zeros, a number greater than the atoms in our galaxy.

When a card continually appears in your readings, understand what that actually means. Against odds that large, repetition is never random.

It’s a truly unique and significant message, and it’s waiting for you.
