Can anyone become a medium, or do you have to be born with a gift?

Yes — absolutely anyone can develop mediumship. It’s not just for a chosen few. In fact, many of us are already connecting with spirit without realising it. With the right support, practice, and a sprinkle of trust, you can deepen that connection and use it intentionally.

How do I know if it’s spirit or just my imagination?

Ah, the classic question! Spirit communication often feels like imagination because it works through your natural senses and inner awareness. The key difference is in the quality of the message — spirit often brings insights, images or words that surprise you or feel just outside your normal thought patterns. And trust me, the more you practise, the clearer it becomes.

What’s the difference between psychic and mediumship abilities?

Psychic ability is tuning into a person’s energy — past, present, emotions, potential outcomes. Mediumship is tuning into spirit, bringing through loved ones, guides or other energies from beyond this world. Both are natural, beautiful, and useful — but they’re slightly different energetic frequencies.

How do I start developing my connection with spirit?

Start by sitting in quiet with intention. Set the space. Breathe. Talk to spirit and listen back. But more than anything — get support. Whether it’s joining a class, listening to a podcast, or jumping into my online school The Gateway, development accelerates when you’re supported and seen.

What does a good evidential mediumship reading include?

It should give you solid, specific details that help you recognise who’s communicating. Names, memories, personality traits, shared experiences — this is what makes a reading feel real, comforting, and validating. It’s not about vague generalisations; it’s about real connection.

What is The Gateway and who is it for?

The Gateway is my online spiritual development school — a safe, supportive space to explore your connection with spirit, practise your abilities, and grow with others who get it. It’s ideal for beginners and intermediate levels, and there's no pressure to perform — just a chance to unfold, at your own pace.

Do I need experience to join your courses or can beginners take part?

You don’t need any experience at all — just an open heart and a curious mind. I’ll guide you step-by-step, whether you’re just starting to explore your connection or already doing readings and looking to deepen.

What’s the difference between The Gateway and 1:1 mentoring?

The Gateway is community-based with live sessions, a video library and group support — it’s affordable, accessible, and brilliant for ongoing learning. Mentoring is more personal. In our 1:1s, I tailor the sessions to you and your journey, giving deeper feedback and faster growth.

What’s Spirit Social and how is it different from Facebook or Instagram?

Spirit Social is our brand-new spiritual platform — a sacred online space without the algorithms, ads, or noise. You’ll find real community, daily inspiration, free readings, live events, and a vibe that actually feels good. It’s not about likes or performance — it’s about connection and growth.

Are your courses live or pre-recorded? Can I catch up if I miss a session?

Most of my courses are taught live on Zoom, with recordings available afterwards. So if you miss one, you can always catch up. And you’ll never be behind — spirit works in divine timing, not strict schedules.

Why is my spiritual connection inconsistent? One day it flows, the next it’s gone.

You’re not broken — you’re human. Connection ebbs and flows. Some days your energy is lower, your mind is busy, or you’re processing something deep. Be gentle with yourself. It’s normal. The more you relax into it and release the pressure, the more naturally it flows.

Is it normal to feel overwhelmed or emotional when connecting with spirit?

Yes. Spirit touches the heart, and sometimes it brings up old grief, emotion, or even unexpected joy. Tears, tingles, laughter — all signs you’re opening up. Let it happen. It’s part of the journey, and you’re not alone in it.

How do online mediumship courses compare to in-person ones?

Online mediumship courses offer flexibility, accessibility, and the chance to connect with like-minded souls from all over the world. They're perfect for people who need to fit their spiritual development around a busy life, or who don’t live near a trusted teacher.

That said, in-person development circles and retreats can offer deeper energetic connection and immersive experiences — especially when it comes to practising energy work or evidential mediumship in real-time.

I believe both paths have value. That’s why my online mediumship school, The Gateway, includes live sessions, practice circles, and plenty of community interaction — so students don’t feel like they’re on their journey alone.

How can I tell if I have psychic abilities?

You probably do — you just haven’t been taught to recognise them.

Psychic abilities often show up in subtle, everyday ways. If you’ve ever:

• Had a strong gut feeling that turned out to be right

• Thought of someone just before they called

• Walked into a room and immediately sensed the vibe

• Felt drained around certain people or places

• Seen repeated signs, symbols, or synchronicities
  — then you’re already tuning in to something deeper.

Most people assume psychic abilities are dramatic or spooky, but actually, they’re usually gentle, natural, and often overlooked — especially when we’re taught to dismiss our intuition.

The truth is: psychic connection is part of being human. The real magic is learning how to notice, trust, and work with it.

👉 If you’re curious about developing your abilities, start with my beginner-friendly online course at www.mediumshipmatters.co.uk — you’ll be amazed at what’s already within you.

What should I expect from a mediumship workshop in the UK?

• Practical exercises to help you tune in to spirit, trust what you receive, and develop your confidence

• Guidance on working with your clairs (clairvoyance, clairsentience, etc.) and recognising spirit energy

• Time for practice and feedback — whether through partner work, mini-readings, or energy sensing

• A few aha moments, a bit of laughter, and probably some goosebumps along the way

I don’t do performance pressure, gatekeeping, or ego. My workshops are about supporting your connection in a real, grounded way, with lots of encouragement and clear explanations — no fluff, no fakery.

What is mediumship and how does it work?

Mediumship is the ability to connect and communicate with the spirit world. It’s how we receive messages from loved ones who have passed, spirit guides, and even higher consciousness — offering comfort, clarity, and often a bit of cosmic humour.

A medium works by blending their energy with spirit, creating a kind of energetic “meeting point.” From there, spirit can communicate through:

• Images or visions (clairvoyance)

• Feelings or physical sensations (clairsentience)

• Words or thoughts (clairaudience and claircognizance)

Mediumship isn’t about fortune-telling or spooky theatrics — it’s about love, healing, and remembering that life doesn’t end, it just changes form. Every medium works slightly differently, but the goal is always the same: to honour spirit, empower the living, and remind us we’re never truly alone.

In a nutshell:

Mediumship is real, human, and something anyone can explore.
You don’t have to be “gifted” — just open, curious, and willing to develop your connection with integrity and heart.
