Questions, gently answered

It’s mediumship that aims to give evidence you can recognise, such as names, memories, personality and shared moments, so you can know who is communicating before any message is given. Sittings are given within the spiritual belief of mediumship and the afterlife, and no absolute claims can be made.

You’re welcome to hope for someone, and it’s very human to. But Ashley can’t guarantee who will come through. Spirit has its own intelligence and often knows what you need better than we do. Ashley holds the door open, and whoever is able to will step forward.

It means Ashley mainly receives spirit as sound and words, a kind of inner hearing. Watch the first Ask The Bear Witch episode, “How do you hear spirit?”, for his own explanation.

No. Ashley never predicts death or hurtful events. Financial advice or predictions, pregnancy predictions, medical diagnoses and legal matters aren’t discussed either. Spiritual healing may be talked about in a general sense.

Call 0330 520 0156 or email thebearwitchhouse@gmail.com to agree a date and time. You’ll then receive a consent form and a SumUp payment link, and once both are done your booking is confirmed. Sittings are on Zoom or FaceTime, and face to face may be available at Ashley’s location. Find a quiet spot where you won’t be interrupted. Sittings are £25 for 30 minutes or £40 for 1 hour.

If, within the first 10 minutes, Ashley feels there isn’t a strong enough connection, he’ll stop the sitting, apologise, and offer you a rebooking or a refund. The integrity of the work and respect for the spirit world always come first.

If your loss is very recent and still raw, it may be kinder to wait. Please lean on the people around you, and know that free support is available from Cruse Bereavement Support (0808 808 1677) and Samaritans (116 123).

Give at least 7 days’ notice for a full refund or to change your date. Later cancellations are considered case by case. If Ashley needs to cancel, you’ll get a full refund. See the terms for the details.
