Evidential Medium, Author & Spiritual Teacher

Psychic Skills Made Simple is an Amazon bestselling guide by evidential medium Hannah Macintyre, and the second book in the Mediumship Matters Mini Guides. It explains how psychic ability actually works, how you perceive energy, and how to develop your psychic awareness with confidence, discernment and boundaries.
What if you’ve been psychic all along?
You walk into a room and know something feels off. A friend says they’re fine and you know perfectly well they’re not. You think of somebody just before they text.
Most of us have been doing this for years. We just haven’t called it psychic.
Psychic ability isn’t a rare gift, and it isn’t the slightly less impressive warm-up act before mediumship. It’s one of the most natural things we do. This book helps you recognise how yours already works, and how to start using it consciously.
What This Book Is About
Psychic has become a catch-all word for almost anything vaguely spiritual, and that’s a big part of why spiritual development feels so confusing.
Psychic Skills Made Simple untangles it. Hannah explains what psychic energy actually is, how it differs from mediumship, and how information moves through you via the clairs. Then she brings it back to you: your own energy, your baseline, your frequency and your boundaries.
From there, the book gets practical, with colour, auragraphs, psychometry and cards. It covers everyday ways to practise, the common pitfalls that trip up sensitive people, and how to use psychic work to help people feel seen and empowered rather than told what to do.
Each chapter is full of real stories from Hannah’s own development and her students, including the wrong duck, the twenty-seven bananas and the chopsticks that turned out to be a flight to China.
What You Will Learn
Inside this book, you will discover:
-
What psychic energy actually is, and how it differs from mediumship
-
Why knowing your frequency matters, so you know where your information is really coming from
-
How the clairs work, and why they tell you how you perceived something, not where it came from
-
How to get to know your own energy and baseline before reading anyone else
-
How to be sensitive without being overwhelmed, and why you’re allowed boundaries
-
Practical psychic tools: colour, chakras, auragraphs, psychometry and cards
-
Simple, low-pressure ways to practise in everyday life, with people, pets, plants, places and crystals
-
How to spot what your brain adds to a psychic impression
-
The ethics of psychic readings, and why your words carry weight
-
How to use psychic work to empower people, not make decisions for them
A Simpler Way to Understand Psychic Ability
Hannah is passionate about one thing above all: understanding how and why this work happens is fundamental to your results with it. When she first developed, she was basically told to open up and let Spirit in. That left her with a lot of unanswered questions. What had she opened? How did she know what she was connected to? If the information was about someone still alive, was that Spirit or was it psychic?
Without those answers, many developing psychics and mediums get stuck. They plateau, doubt themselves, or assume anything accurate must have come from Spirit. So Hannah became, in her words, “the Hermione Granger of mediumship”, and kept asking questions until it made sense.
This book is the result. Rather than a perfect psychic formula, it gives you a way to understand what you’re doing:
-
psychic work is you reaching out and reading energy that’s already here
-
everything you perceive is translated through your own mind, memories and language
-
your brain will sometimes add things, so learn to give what you get
-
sensing something doesn’t make it yours to fix
As Hannah puts it: “If you see a duck, give the duck. You do not need to write its autobiography.”

About Hannah
Hi, I’m Hannah Macintyre — evidential medium, Amazon bestselling author, podcast host, and spiritual mentor. For over a decade, I’ve been supporting people to explore their sensitivity and connection with Spirit in a grounded, accessible, and deeply human way.
I don’t believe psychic ability is rare or unusual. I believe it is something many people experience naturally, often without recognising it. With the right understanding, it can be developed in a way that feels steady, practical, and real.
That belief sits at the heart of this guide. That’s why I want you to understand how your psychic ability works, not just trust that it does

Frequently Asked Questions About Psychic Development
Is everyone psychic?
Hannah believes psychic ability is a natural part of being human: our ability to perceive energy. You’re probably already doing it through gut feelings, picking up on atmospheres or knowing how someone feels before they say it. Psychic development is learning to notice that and work with it consciously.
What’s the difference between psychic and mediumship?
Psychic work is you reaching out and reading the energy that’s already here, from a person, place or object. Mediumship involves another intelligence: someone in Spirit who chooses what to communicate. Knowing the difference matters, because accurate information about someone doesn’t automatically mean it came from Spirit.
Why does understanding how psychic ability works matter?
Because without that foundation, it’s easy to get stuck, doubt everything, or give psychic impressions more spiritual authority than they deserve. When you understand where your information comes from and how your mind translates it, you can work out what’s happening in your own practice, recognise when your brain is adding detail, and keep developing.
I’m an empath and feel overwhelmed by other people’s energy. Will this help?
Yes. A whole chapter is about being sensitive without being overwhelmed. Psychic development shouldn’t make you more available to everyone else’s energy. It should give you more choice. You can notice someone is anxious without becoming anxious for them.
Can psychics predict the future?
Hannah sees psychic information about the future as potential, not fixed prediction. You can perceive where someone’s energy seems to be heading, but free will still applies, so people still have to take part in their own lives.
Do I need tools like tarot cards or crystals?
No. Tools like colour, objects, auragraphs and cards give your awareness somewhere to start, and the book shows you how to use them. But the psychic ability was never in the tool. It’s yours.
