Imagine being a 10-year-old kid and waking up in the middle of the night with a sudden feeling that your sick grandmother is going to die (like, now). For Tyler Henry, who turned 20 just days ago (Jan. 13th to be exact), that was his first introduction to his gift. Henry is the subject of E!’s new entertaining series Hollywood Medium With Tyler Henry, premiering Sunday, Jan. 24 at 10pmET/PT. Cameras follow him on some very personal readings with celebrities like Jaime Pressly, Monica Potter, Boy George, WWE Diva Natalya, Margaret Cho and Tom Arnold. Here we question him a bit more on his talents.
We’ve seen Hollywood movies like “The Sixth Sense,” where Haley Joel Osment says, “I see dead people.” Is that like what you see?
I always tell people that Hollywood has a different version of psychic abilities and that entire realm, so for me it wasn’t really like The Sixth Sense. I wasn’t walking around seeing dead people. I would find that I would actually have dreams of people who would come through, and then I would interact with people the following day. We’d find that there were things that would line up in my dreams to what I would tell them about their loved ones. And so I was getting visitations from people on the other side in my dreams, and it just kind of evolved into that, and then now, where I do my readings. I kind of really just get images, and little impressions that I basically have to put together, and interpret, and deliver to my client.
Can you shut it off? I mean, if you’re walking down the street, do you get these visualizations?
Pretty much everywhere I go I’m picking up on something, but I also kind of say that it takes me to really focus on one particular point to really get an idea of where the information fits.
Do you hear things like, “Hey Tyler, this is Grandma June”?
I’m primarily clairvoyant, so clairvoyance is basically the ability to see things, so just images and visual impressions. I’m not so much clairaudient, so I don’t really pick up on voices or hear voices much. I really focus on the message that comes through visually. I definitely don’t have people coming through on a constant basis, telling me who they are and what their name is and whatnot, but I do pick up on the visual impressions, and when I sit with a person, I get an idea of who their loved one is based on the images that I see.
I thought it was amazing that you blindly go to celebrity houses and sometimes you don’t even know who they are once you meet them. Awkward?
It definitely is interesting. It’s very tense, but I love that aspect of it. I love the surprise.
You purposely don’t want to know information about your clients. Can you explain why?
I really believe that it’s important to know as little as possible about clients. … I never want to become biased with preconceived ideas or, you know, really go into it knowing anything. My goal is to go into it completely blank and rely exclusively on my intuition, because my intuition comes through very, very clearly, and so for me, I really have to trust it, and that’s where the accuracy lies.
I just watched your tv show. And I am pleased to announce I am your number one fan. I would love to set up a reading with you. And I have one ? Did you ever do a reading with a Native American. And if so was it any different? And if you haven’t yet. Here I am lol.
I would love to set up a reading with Tyler. I watched his show and now I’m your number one fan. I don’t know if you did any readings with a Native American guest or not. But here I am lol.
We need answers. There is a lot that has happened in our lives. Please help us m
Tyler seems like a nice young man but I’m curious how he can tell ppl their loved ones says certain things when supposedly he only sees images and can’t hear spirits speak to him??? Or have I missed something? I’m in no way being negative, I’m only trying to learn how it works for him,that’s all. I would love to meet with him to try connect with ppl I’ve lost. Also, does he get paid by these stars? Or maybe E! Pays him…who knows. I just wished he would tell ppl some things that theres NO way he or his ppl could find out thru social media or public records,ya know? Good luck Tyler. ..looks like you have ur ducks in a row. Take care. ..God bless.
Hi Tonya,
I will try to explain you little bit how Tyler’s visualization can work. I hope you will understand my English which is not my native language.
I will start from the question. Did you ever had a feeling that something will happen, but you couldn’t explain why or how you know it? I’m talking about intuition which is kind of feeling which we can feel in our solar plexus area. This feeling, depending on situation , can be positive – and then we feel very peaceful even though situation is dangerous and complicated OR can be negative – like anxiety even though everything around us look peaceful.
This feeling is also always accompanied by some thought. That thought can (but don’t have to) be very short but simultaneously can be full of a lot of information. These informations are coming in a sort of package for example: imagine you can go somewhere in the city and you need to turn and pass some small street. But suddenly you have some bad feeling, some fear about that street. And with that fear comes also information that something bad can happen to you. You can feel very clearly if there is a bad person somewhere on this street or this is just some difficult to define situation which can happen (like many times something falls from the roof and hurts someone). Anyway you know very clearly that something bad will happen to you. So this is not just feeling of fear but also you have some more , hard to explain, information about why you have this fear.
Many times even we are not able to explain by words what we know and feel, but for ourselves these informations are very clear and understandable.
If you are intuitive person you can see one symbolic picture like scene or a person or something abstract that doesn’t make much sense to the logical mind, but with this ‘picture’ we have full information about what it means.
Usually people have poor contact with own intuition or they have intuitive feeling only in dangerous situations. But people like Tyler have great connection between consciousness and sub consciousness so they can receive and understand information from our higher self which is a great part of our beings.
I hope my explanation will help you little bit to understand how it works.
My best wishes for you 🙂

Tyler you are a delightful young man! There is so much negativity in this world and you are such a positive humble human being. Thank you for your God given special talent.

Very excited about the show.I am Dee Stein the lady who was on the 10th episode of botched where Dr Terry Dubrow took on my case.I cant wait to see the reading with him and his wife.
WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A READING ABOUT THIS NEXT JOURNEY!!!!!!!!!!!! BEST DEE
This is very interesting for me to be reading this right now and seeing how quick the media is picking up on Tyler. I went to high school with him and would have never thought that he had any kind of gift like this. I’m not looking for any kind of attention or anything, I just want people to know that he isn’t the type of person to make any of this up or to “take advantage of grieving people”.

I’m looking forward to seeing you Tyler in your new show starting on Sunday Jan. 24! Of course I would love to connect with you to see if any one of my loved ones have a message for me, as sometimes I listen to the wrong people. Good luck with the show, it is going to be very successful!
Just another huckster, taking advantage of people in their grief.

I’m open on this, i.e., him having some gift. But so many of these folks are dubious and I can understand your hard line. Skepticism works for me. In this day and age, where everyone spills the beans on their lives on facebook and other social media, it’s easy to get what a con man needs. On the other hand, I have met Lisa Williams.
I am a fan already. My son Gavin was mysteriously got explicit details about my dad (who he never met ). At 2, he said Pop Pop sitting in the kitchen listening to music,and drinking rum & coke. . he adamantly insists he played music & NO words). My dad did this every day. No one ever told could or wanted to tell him this We’re you ever at a point where you could have stopped your gift or rather knew it was a gift where it was a cross roads where you could keep the momentum or chose to continue. I would really just like to speak with you. I’m at a cross roads but social security will decide my fate. With this I haven’t worked and my family has helped me. I’ve had a dream to be published. May I please receive an email reply. You would absolutely have 100% control. You are very special and it’s been breathtaking watching you. Thank you in advance for your time. .
Haaaa…social security will decide her fate…..”she has a dream” to be published. Play the lotto, probably more your speed and chances of getting rich quick about the same….people never cease to amaze me
Hey, shut up Darren. She’s in the lap of the government handout… can’t you relate? Haha. Neither can I. Julia… If you want to be published, write something and add it to Kindle or send it to an agent. Presto! If you are any good, it will sell. If you are not any good, do something different. Never offer anyone 100% CONTROL WHEN YOU CAN TAKE 100% CONTROL.
I’m sure you can get all of your dreams “published” on facebook, where all the losers go to write their life stories without leaving any details out. Haha. You can even make some “friends” while you are at it, you poor sap.
MEAN–just plain MEAN.
