My name is Mary Hykel Hunt and I am an Intuitive Consultant with a long-standing record for accuracy and sound advice.  I have a substantial practice based in the south west of England and am consulted by individuals and organisations worldwide on matters both personal and professional.

I am also an academic psychologist with an intense interest in the nature of intuition and psychic ability. 

I have a weekly column as a psychic agony aunt for the best-selling women’s weekly, Pick Me Up, and have a regular broadcast slot on BBC Somerset Sound called ‘Mary’s Mystery School’, presented by Jo Phillips.

I am currently working on two new books, ‘Learning from the Future’ and ‘Synergy of the Senses’, to be published by O Books.

Since I was a small child, I’ve been able to access information about people in an unconventional way – through their names. 

When I look at a name, I see it as an array of different colours and shapes, sometimes even textures.  As I look at these images, I start to receive information about the person.  That information can be very day-to-day – when will I sell my house? Will I get that job? - or it can be about more important life issues, such as “What’s my life purpose?”.

Wanting to understand more about how this was happening, I decided to go in to psychology, and over the last fifteen years, have done a lot of research into the nature of intuition and how it works. And I’ve made some important discoveries.

Firstly, we’re all born with intuitive ability.  Secondly, it’s just as important as our other senses.

Intuitive ability is an inborn quality present in us all.  It’s an on-board guidance system – a bit like sat-nav, only more reliable! Its purpose is to help us live our lives more safely and effectively – just as our sense of hearing does, for example.      

I’ve also come to realise that our intuition and our logic are meant to work together.  The down-grading of intuition by scientists is as unhelpful as the dismissal of the scientific approach by New Agers.  To ignore either seems to me to be a terrible waste of our resources. 

Why be half-brained when you can be whole-brained?  When we allow our logic and intuition to work together, we gain access to much richer and more productive ways of living our lives.  Miracles happen.

I continue my research in this field and am currently studying for my Masters degree in Psychological Research Methods, with a view to going on to do a doctorate.

On the basis of this research, over the last fifteen years I’ve devised an extensive series of courses and workshops, designed to help you develop your own abilities and to enhance your own life.  This year’s programme is particularly exciting, so please click and look on Journeys of Discovery!

I also offer consultations, face-to-face or by phone.  Click on Consultations Page for further details   

Here’s to working with you sometime during 2008!
