David Petrusich
Bringing 15 years of experience in psychic-mediumship and astrology, David Petrusich is the resident psychic at East London’s She’s Lost Control. Based in Seattle and working remotely via Zoom, David’s 75-minute sessions combine intuitive insight with a grounded, reflective approach, exploring life’s crossroads, emotional patterns and possible paths forward. His practice includes evidential mediumship, focusing on connections with deceased loved ones, alongside readings designed to offer greater clarity and perspective. Rather than dictating the future, his approach centres on helping you reflect on where you are now and the choices ahead. Clearly, the spirit world is keeping him busy, David’s private mentoring is exclusively via Zoom, and he currently has a two-to-three-month waiting list. Seems even the universe needs to book ahead.

The Last Tuesday Society
If you’d rather have your tarot served with a little theatre, The Last Tuesday Society on Mare Street, Hackney is a suitably eccentric place to start. The venue’s Absinthe Parlour on Mare Street has hosted tarot-reading events in its wonderfully atmospheric surroundings, making it an intriguing choice for anyone who fancies a glimpse into the future alongside a drink. It’s less your conventional psychic appointment and more an evening of alternative entertainment, with plenty of character thrown in.
The Natural Philosopher
Why settle for an ordinary night out when you could have your cards read over a cocktail? The Natural Philosopher is a tucked-away East London speakeasy on Hackney Road known for its intimate atmosphere and inventive drinks. The venue has also hosted Tarot & Martinis evenings, pairing tarot readings with cocktails for a night that offers something a little different. Perfect for a catch-up with friends, a date with a difference or simply an excuse to see what the cards have to say.

What should you know before booking a psychic reading?
Not all readings are the same. Tarot typically uses cards as a framework for interpreting situations, astrology looks to birth charts and planetary positions, while mediumship involves a practitioner’s claimed communication with spirits.
Before booking, check the price, session length and whether the reading takes place in person, online or over the phone. Customer reviews can help you assess the experience others report, but they cannot establish whether psychic predictions are accurate.
Be wary of anyone promising guaranteed results, predicting inevitable disasters or pressuring you to pay for expensive additional services.
Whether you approach a reading as a spiritual practice, a personal ritual or simply an intriguing experience, the best starting point is to find a practitioner whose approach feels comfortable and whose terms are clear.
