Welcome to my website
I am a professional psychic medium, healer working with the intention to uplift and to guide my clients to rediscover their own wisdom and strength. I also offer development circles for those wishing to learn how to work with their own intuition.
I have studied, worked with and developed my abilities for 30 years and woven all the strands of my life experience together to offer intuitive guidance. I am also a published author and have appeared frequently across all forms of media to discuss dying, grief and the spirit world.
You do not need to believe in, or practise, anything in order to benefit from what I offer. All you need to do is come with an open mind.

'Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. For those who love with their heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.'
– Rumi
Since childhood, I have had a fascination with the 'other'. I saw and experienced things I found difficult to explain or understand, and came to realise that I possessed both psychic and mediumistic abilities.
There is a saying that all mediums are psychic, but not all psychics are mediums. Psychic ability is the skill of using an extra sense to 'read' people, places and objects.
Mediumship is the ability to connect with those who have passed to spirit. When we develop mediumship, we work at opening the heart and the mind, and commit to living with kindness, grace and integrity. It is vital that mediumship is used only for the highest good of those who seek it.
I have developed my abilities steadily over three decades, studying at the prestigious College of Psychic Studies in London for over twenty years and enjoying the privilege of learning from many gifted mediums.
I see my role as both a conduit and a mirror: to receive from the world of spirit the information that will best serve you, allowing freedom to move forwards in life. When I work, I tune into your energy to identify where you are now, and I can also see into past lives and ancestral lines to identify anything which may need clearing.
I believe that we all know our own purpose, and I love to help my clients to learn how to trust, and use their own intuition. I hold a weekly women's development circle in my local area and an online version is in development.
Rather than shrouding the topic in mystery, I am passionate about making the spiritual arts available to all. I spent a year immersing myself in the study of Gestalt psychotherapy in order to inform my intuitive work.
I work one to one in person in Brighton and Hove and also online via Zoom.

Ali's kind energy and ability to hold space made me totally at ease. I wanted a combination of tarot with psychic advice; I wanted support and guidance for my path in business and she nailed it! My session was expansive and detailed at the same time and it was very clear where I was and what I needed to do to move forward. I highly recommend Ali as a support and I can't wait for our next session.'~ Maggie
About Ali Norell
Once upon a time, I worked in public relations; communicating on behalf of organisations including Battersea Dogs and Cats’ Home and The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. I then worked for over a decade as a reflexologist specialising in fertility and as a birth doula, travelling the world to train and work with the best in this field.
During this time I also trained as a healer and sat in circle at the College of Psychic Studies in London between 2002 and 2024.
I wrote a blog, Remembering Romy, and then a book, The Truth Inside, about the passing of my youngest daughter, Romy, in 2014. My fiction work has been long and shortlisted in several international competitions. You can read more about my writing here. I publish on Substack as Words With Spirit.
I hold a Certificate in Humanistic Counselling Skills from The Gestalt Centre in London and love applying this to add depth to my readings.
Communication has been a thread that has run throughout my life and I regard it as an immense privilege to be able to communicate with those in spirit.
I love languages and speak Italian, French and German. I have a lifelong passion for flamenco and danced for many years and I live in Brighton – the San Francisco of the U.K. – with my husband, three children and two cats.

I work with one aim only: for my client to leave the session feeling uplifted, inspired and full of hope and clarity.
If you feel 'stuck' in your life and seek guidance, if you need a 'nudge' to move forward with a project, desire or course of action, if you require validation that an issue that's been 'niggling' you is worth paying attention to: I can help. If you are grieving: I will do my utmost to offer some perspective.
I work with psychic and mediumistic ability; more often than not, a mixture of both. I usually open a reading with tarot cards to get my psychic juices flowing and gain insight into what is presenting for you at this time. I will then move to pinpointing key themes and discussing the best ways to overcome obstacles.
More often than not, I will connect with a loved one or guide in spirit in order to add colour and perspective to advice, and to give reassurance that death is not the end. I also tune into your energy to identify any ancestral patterns, family trauma or past life issues which may require clearing.
My aim in every sitting is the same: to give whatever information I am able, in as clear and precise a way as I can, for the highest good of my client and in the hope that it will uplift, guide and comfort.

Healing comes in many forms and is known by many names. I prefer 'energy healing' or simply, 'healing'.
I gained a Diploma in Healing from the College of Psychic Studies in 2010. This involved two years of in depth study, the completion of case studies and a panel interview.
When I work in person, you remain fully clothed and I tune into, and work with, your energy. With permission, I may place my hands on the body but if this is not comfortable I can work 'hands off'. You may experience a tingling sensation, you may feel sleepy and you may feel a warm, or cold, sensation where my hands are.
A healing session is difficult to describe as each one is unique to the recipient and depends on what issues they bring. It can feel calming, grounding and can help to ease specific ailments.
It is important to note that in no way does healing replace medical knowledge. I am not a medical practitioner and if I feel that you have brought a significant health issue to me before having consulted a medical professional I will ask you to seek professional advice before proceeding. Ideally, healing is a complementary therapy and works alongside medicine to create balance and harmony.
'Everyone is on a spiritual path; most people just don't know it. The spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love.' - Marianne Williamson
