Psychic mediums open new reading room at Brighter Times shop in Lytham

When businesswoman Tracey McNulty, who runs the Brighter Times shop on Clifton Street, advertised for a fellow psychic medium to join her in offering readings there, Sharron Caunce was the first to answer.

The pair realised they complimented each other perfectly, as each works in different areas of their calling.

Sharron, 53, from Penwortham, offers psychometry, angel cards and mediumship in each reading.

Lytham resident Tracey, 51, uses tarot cards with the help of spirits and offers predictions for a three to six months period, as well as mediumship using clairvoyance and clairaudience.

Between them the pair have more than 40 years of collective experience in providing psychic and spirit readings.

With Tracey herself due to offer readings there in the near future, Sharron has already started holdings sessions in the upstairs part of the shop, an emporium of artisan, fair trade gifts and art work.

What’s it like to have a reading?

Sharron is a good at putting people at ease.

She always asks to be given an object belonging to the person having the reading, as long as it has always been theirs and didn’t belong to someone else.

I handed her my watch and she asked me what I wanted to get out of the reading.

Sharron picked up on an issue which meant something to me personally, which was quite a strange experience. What else would she find?

Then she made contact with a spirit which turned out to be that of a close relative who had passed on.

This was the most intense part of the reading.

But there was no crystal ball, no table knocking or any otherwordly phenomena.

At the end Sharron interpreted some of the ‘angel’ cards I had picked from the pack – and which had a message of their own.

I had been a little apprehensive beforehand, what if she had seen something disturbing about the future?

But it turned out there was no need to be!

Sharron, who spent years as an office manager before deciding to use her gifts in a full time profession, said: “I realised I had a gift when I was young when I was somehow able to tell a complete stranger exactly how, when and where he had suffered an injury.

"It was a bit scary at first, but I started doing the odd practice reading and I had such a good feedback that it went from there.

"Last year I decided to advertise on Google listings and the response was so amazing I realised I could do this full time.

"I am just a normal down-to-earth person and I don’t try to be spooky or weird, I see this as a way to help people.”

Sessions normally last around 45 minutes, including a contact with a spirit.

As part of the new venture, the two mediums will take part in a psychic supper night at Whispers Café Bar, also on Clifton Street, on Friday April 28 at 6.30pm, after a psychic night in March sold out.

Bookings can be made via (01253) 730730.
