Darren Turner, an award-winning international medium, has dedicated his life to bridging the gap between the physical and spirit worlds. In his exclusive MysticMag interview, he shares insights into his journey, the power of mediumship, and how his Spiritual Mentorship Academy is helping others awaken their own intuitive gifts.
Can you please introduce yourself to our readers and share a few details about your professional journey?
From a young age, I knew there was more to life than what we can see. With a deep-rooted spiritual connection passed down from my grandmother, my journey into mediumship has been one of discovery, dedication, and an unshakable calling to serve both the spirit world and those seeking comfort, guidance, and reassurance. Understanding that in life we are all on a journey of discovery and experiences that nurture our spirit.
As an award-winning international medium, I have had the honour of demonstrating mediumship across the UK and beyond, delivering powerful, heartfelt messages that prove love never dies. Whether in theatres, spiritual churches, or intimate settings, my aim is always the same—to bridge the gap between worlds and bring evidence, healing, and hope to those who need it most.
My development has been a lifelong journey, and I have attended various residential retreats, dedicating time to deepening my connection with the spirit world and my guides. Through these immersive experiences, I have strengthened my ability to blend with spirit, refining my work to deliver messages with clarity, authenticity, and love. There is no greater teacher than the spirit world.
Alongside in-person demonstrations, I also work with clients across the globe via Zoom, offering private readings, mentorship, and spiritual development sessions to those who wish to connect with spirit, no matter where they are in the world. This has allowed me to reach and support people internationally, making spiritual guidance more accessible than ever.
But my passion extends beyond the platform. As the founder of the Darren Turner Spiritual Mentorship Academy, I am committed to helping others unlock their own spiritual potential. My courses, including the Psychic Foundation Course and Foundation Mediumship Course, are designed to awaken and develop intuitive abilities, allowing students to trust in their gifts and step into their spiritual power.
One of my proudest moments was being awarded Medium of the Year 2024/25 South by the Prestige Awards—an incredible recognition of my dedication to mediumship. Looking ahead, I have an exciting year planned, including live demonstrations, exclusive workshops, and my much-anticipated April Retreat 2025 in Cornwall.
The spirit world is always with us, and I’m here to help you experience its magic. Whether you’re seeking connection, guidance, or your own spiritual awakening, let’s walk this path together.
Can you walk me through one of your Psychic or Spiritual readings?
Every reading is a unique and deeply personal experience, tailored to the needs of the individual. Whether it’s a psychic reading, which focuses on your life, energy, and personal journey, or a spiritual reading, which connects you with loved ones in the spirit world, my aim is always to bring clarity, guidance, and healing.
At the start of a session, I take a moment to attune to your energy and open up to the spirit world. If it’s a psychic reading, I will work with your auric field to gain insight into areas of your life such as relationships, career, or personal growth. This is not about predicting the future but rather offering guidance based on your energy and current path.
If it’s a spiritual reading, I will blend my energy with the spirit world, inviting your loved ones to step forward. Spirit communicates in many ways—through feelings, images, words, and even emotions. As I receive information, I will relay evidence of their presence, such as shared memories, personality traits, or meaningful details only you would recognise. The messages they bring are always given with love, encouragement, and support.
Throughout the reading, I create a safe and comforting space where you can ask questions or seek further clarity. My goal is for you to leave feeling uplifted, reassured, and more connected to your own spiritual path.
Whether in person or via Zoom, these readings offer a beautiful opportunity to receive guidance and connect with the spirit world in a way that is both profound and heartwarming.
What is the Spiritual Mentorship Academy?
The Spiritual Mentorship Academy is a global platform designed for those seeking to develop and enhance their spiritual abilities, whether they are beginners or already on their spiritual path. The Academy is accredited by the IPHM (International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine), ensuring that our courses meet high standards of professionalism and excellence. Additionally, I am proud to announce that the Academy is recognised as a Mediumship Training Academy Southwest 2025, further enhancing the credibility and quality of the training provided.
At the Academy, we offer a range of courses and mentorship programmes that focus on developing psychic abilities, mediumship, and spiritual growth. These include the Psychic Foundation Course and the Foundation Mediumship Course, where students learn about essential spiritual concepts, such as energy work, the aura, and how to connect with spirit.
I believe spiritual development is a deeply personal experience, and through the Academy, I offer not just structured learning but also one-to-one guidance, helping students gain the confidence to trust their intuition and embrace their unique gifts.
Through workshops, retreats, and online learning, the Academy creates a supportive and nurturing environment where students can grow at their own pace. Whether you’re looking to develop your psychic abilities, connect with the spirit world, or embark on a journey of self-discovery, the Academy provides the resources and encouragement you need to thrive.
You’ve been recently awarded Southern Medium of the Year. Can you elaborate on that and tell me what the award means to you?
Being awarded Southern Medium of the Year is truly an honour and a humbling recognition of the work I do. To be acknowledged by my peers and the community for my commitment to mediumship is incredibly meaningful. This award is not just about me, but about the connections I’ve been privileged to make with those in the spirit world and the comfort, guidance, and healing I’ve been able to offer to so many people.
What this award means to me is a reminder of why I do the work I do. It’s a testament to the trust people place in me to provide them with messages from their loved ones, and the faith they have in my abilities to offer clarity and support. I am grateful for the opportunities I’ve had to connect with so many people, both in person and through my work online, and this award inspires me to continue striving to help others on their spiritual journey.
It’s also a wonderful affirmation of the team effort that goes into this work—the spirit guides, the energy of those I connect with, and the support of my students, followers, and colleagues. This recognition encourages me to keep pushing forward, continuing my development, and offering the best of my abilities to those I serve.
Can you share a memorable success story?
That’s a difficult question to answer, as what constitutes a memorable experience can vary greatly depending on how you measure it. I truly believe that there have been many instances where individuals have come for readings or tuition, often unsure of why they sought it. Through the evidence shared and the guidance received from the spirit world, these people have experienced profound changes in their lives, often for the better.
