Happy Medium: Meet Sonita Singh, Hollywood’s Go-To Psychic Guide

Ever get that feeling you’re being watched? Or that there’s something bigger going on behind the scenes of your everyday chaos?

Sonita Singh knows there is – and she’s got a front-row seat to the other side. She’s one of Australia’s most sought-after psychic mediums, a script consultant, and, if you ask her three kids, a “real-life Buffy.” (They’re quick to tidy their rooms when she tells them to, just quietly.)

While most people think of psychics as people who connect with loved ones who’ve passed or who give a glimpse into what’s ahead, Sonita’s work is a whole lot more layered. She straddles two worlds: the world you and I see and the one we sense in whispers, gut feelings, and dreams. She helps people find connection and clarity in the everyday, but she also works in the shadows of Hollywood, helping shape books, film scripts, and even character development by channelling the eerie, the unexplainable, and the deeply human stories from the world beyond.

Hollywood Has Always Had a Thing for Psychics

From Poltergeist to Ghost, The Sixth Sense to Medium, Hollywood’s obsession with the supernatural is nothing new. What most people don’t realise is that behind many of these scripts and characters sit real-life mediums, like Sonita, who are called upon to bring depth and authenticity to the stories that end up on our screens.

“There’s a big difference between writing a ghost story and actually understanding what it’s like to have a spirit in the room with you,” Sonita says. “Writers and directors will come to me wanting to get it right - they want to know what it feels like when a spirit comes through, what they say, how they move, how they feel. It’s not always as dramatic as in the movies, but sometimes it’s even more powerful.”

She’s worked with screenwriters who want to understand the nuances of spirit encounters, directors who want to capture the energy of a haunted location, and even actors who want to embody a character who can see the dead. Her insights bring a realism that audiences might not consciously notice but feel instinctively.

A Life Between the Worlds

Sonita’s journey started young. Growing up in a Sikh family steeped in mysticism and spiritual practices, she first realised her gift at four, chatting away to a family who had died in a car crash while she played with toy cars. By 13, she was dealing with the darker side of the spirit world, an experience that would shape her commitment to helping others navigate their own encounters without fear.

“Spirit doesn’t care if you’re ready or not,” she says. “It shows up when it needs to, and as a kid, that was terrifying at times. But it taught me how to set boundaries, how to work with the energy, and how to help others do the same.”

While her days might look like yours and mine - school runs, washing, dinners - her work is far from ordinary. One moment she’s packing lunchboxes, the next she’s consulting on a film script, and then she’s relaying a message from a grandmother who passed years ago but who “needs her granddaughter to know she’s proud of her.”

She’s even faced off with the kind of negative entities that would send most of us running for the hills, including a real-life “Poltergeist” moment in her home that had her calling in an exorcist. “All in a day’s work,” she laughs. Um, ok.

Sonita's the kind of person you can sit with for five minutes and somehow feel like she’s known you forever, probably because, as she says, “I’ve seen your guides hanging around you before you even sat down.”

As I sit with her, her phone pings every so often, a gentle reminder that Hollywood is never too far away. Producers and screenwriters call for help untangling a supernatural subplot, while celebrities quietly slip into her DMs looking for a bit of guidance before a big project.

“I had one actor call me the night before a major audition,” Sonita says. “They were feeling blocked, and we did a quick clearing and spirit check-in. They nailed the audition the next day and sent me a message saying, ‘You’re magic.’ But I’m not magic - I just help clear the way so people can step into their own magic.”

And it’s not all about ghost stories, either. Sonita helps creatives tap into what she calls “the river,” a place of flow and inspiration where stories, characters, and ideas live before they’re brought into the world. “Everyone has access to it,” she says. “My job is to help people get out of their own way so they can receive what’s already there for them.”

Hollywood’s Best-Kept Secret

The truth is, psychics have been quietly helping shape Hollywood stories for decades. From Shirley MacLaine’s well-documented spiritual pursuits to the rumoured use of psychics on set to clear energies or bless productions, the intersection between Hollywood and the mystical is alive and well.

“I think there’s a curiosity there,” Sonita says. “Hollywood is about stories, and the spirit world is full of stories. Some of the best scripts I’ve worked on have come from writers who aren’t afraid to lean into the weird, the unexplainable, and the deeply emotional truths that spirit can bring.”

And sometimes, she says, it’s just about helping creatives feel less alone in the process. “It can be lonely being a creative, especially when you’re working on something that feels bigger than you. Spirit is always around, guiding, nudging, and reminding us that we’re part of something much larger.”

What It’s Like to Work with Sonita

For those who’ve sat with Sonita, the experience is often described as “life-changing.” She has a way of delivering messages that are both comforting and direct, with the kind of warmth that makes even the spookiest messages feel safe.

“Spirit doesn’t mince words,” she says with a grin. “If you need to get your act together, they’ll tell you. If you’re on the right track, they’ll cheer you on. My job is to translate their messages in a way that people can actually use.”

She’s also known for her sense of humour, which, she says, is essential in this line of work.

“Spirit is funny,” she says. “People think it’s all doom and gloom, but honestly, some of the funniest moments happen in readings. Your grandmother might be telling you she loves you, but she’s also telling you to stop dating idiots.”

A Modern Psychic for Modern Times

Sonita is the first to admit that being a psychic medium in the modern world comes with its challenges. “There’s a lot of scepticism, and I get that,” she says. “I don’t need to convince anyone of anything. My work is about helping people who are open to it, and that’s enough for me.”

Her approach is down-to-earth, practical, and refreshingly real. She’s just as comfortable talking about spirit guides as she is about Netflix shows or what’s happening at the local school fundraiser. Her readings often end with practical advice - “Get more sleep,” “Trust your gut,” “Write that book” - that clients can actually implement.

And yes, she’s just a normal mum. She just happens to talk to dead people.

The Script She’s Writing Next

When Sonita isn’t helping others tell their stories, she’s working on her own. She’s currently writing a script based on her experiences, with interest from a major studio.

“It’s a supernatural drama, but it’s also about family, culture, and what it’s like to grow up between two worlds,” she says. “It’s the story I wish I’d seen when I was a kid, so I’m writing it now.”

The Real Gift? Connection

At the heart of Sonita’s work is connection – to ourselves, to each other, and to something bigger.

“For me, being a psychic medium isn’t just about talking to the dead,” she says. “It’s about bringing the mystical into the everyday. It’s about helping people feel connected, guided, and a little less alone in the world.”

And if that means helping a few celebrities or scriptwriters along the way? Well, that’s just part of the job.

Want a Session with Sonita?

If you’re curious about what spirit has to say, or you’re a creative looking to connect with your muse, Sonita offers private readings and script consultations online. Her warmth, humour, and clear-eyed honesty make her the kind of psychic you’d trust to tell you the truth - even when it’s uncomfortable.

She’s not about vague predictions or fear-based readings. She’s about empowerment, clarity, and connection.

Because as Sonita says, “Spirit wants you to live your best life. They’re not here to scare you. They’re here to guide you.”
