Interview - Simon Goodfellow from October 2013

Re-posting this interview with Simon Goodfellow.  He will be one of the speakers at Newark this month.

To start with could you tell us a bit about yourself (a quick intro, most people know you!)

Simon has been working professionally now for coming up to 14 years.
The Spiritual journey stated when Simon lived in Spain, at the time he was the owner of a very busy and successful bar.
But Simon felt very drawn to crystal healing.
Simon flew back to the UK and went on crystal healing course he sole intention was to work in hospitals and clinics.
However when Simon was healing people he would start to pick up messages for people.
After a while Simon stated to ask the people he was healing about the information he was picking up.
To his surprise the information was spot on.
This then lead Simon to have a reading, Simon was told he needed to develop is abilities.
This Simon did by attending the Arthur Finley college of Mediumship.
Soon after his return to Spain Simon started hosting small Mediumship evenings in his bar, these became very popular and Simon increased these to once a week.
Simon also started one to one readings for customers in the bar.

"The Spiritual work did take over the bar in Spain and because I was flying back to the UK 3 and 4 times a month it was time to leave Spain behind and return to the UK.
I still travel back to Spain to work as I have many clients over there."

You do a lot of different type of work, which do you find most rewarding - readings or developing other peoples skills?

Simon gets great satisfaction from all the aspects of his work but if he had to just pick one it would be developing other people's skills.
Simon does run three levels of Development workshops which are very popular.


What advice would you give to someone who has had some psychic experiences but is a bit scared of it?

The advise would be there is nothing to be scared of, Spirit want to work with you and to develop your abilities, but please don't confuse your self stick to one way of teaching.
There are many mediums and clairvoyants and we all work very differently.
When you want to start developing always go to the person you are drawn too, much like when you want to book a reading.


Do you have any plans to write a book? 

Yes, a book is very much in the horizon but sadly this as not been done as yet.
Dave my partner set the wheels in motion and we will be getting the book done soon.


Which writer/thinker has influenced you the most.

 I love many different books about a very diverse subject range, but I must admit I do love books by Doris Stokes she was an amazing lady.


What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given.

To develop my Mediumistic abilities. The satisfaction I get from bring closure to people is truly rewarding.


Would you name 6 “Desert Island” books or films (ones you would like if you were stranded on a desert island - for young ones who don’t know about Desert Island discs!)

Again my Cd collection combined with Dave's is truly diverse and sometimes a little camp and cheesy but I'm a very big follower of the Eurovision Song Contest.
When I first met Dave he made me a compilation CD for every Eurovision winner since the contest first started.
So the Cd's would be that one plus a little of Susan Boyle, Jane McDonald, Michael Buble.

Simon Goodfellow Workshops

As part of our features on our authors and speakers, we're doing a feature on Simon Goodfellow today.

Many of you know Simon from his platform work and his private sessions.  He has been working as a professional medium now for the last fourteen years.  He is always in high demand at every event he goes to, due to his natural presence that just makes people feel very at ease, even when they are new to this type of experience.  

Everyone has the potential for psychic ability.  We've all had experiences that would suggest this, some more than others.  Whether we decide to pursue this or not is a very individual decision. If we do decide to pursue it, it's very difficult to know where to start.

Simon offers workshops that breaks down this spiritual process into different levels.  You can then take this training as far as you like.  Once you finish the levels there is even an opportunity to do some work with Simon.  The workshops are broken down into three main sections:

The Mechanics of Mediumship & Psychic Skill of  Psychometry 

This is where your Spiritual & Psychic journey would begin, on The Mechanics of Mediumship workshop you will be taught:

How to clear, still & focus your mind

How to protect yourselves

The difference between all types of Mediumship

And finally the Psychic Skill of Psychometry.

The Advanced Mediumship Level 1; The Advancement of Mediumship 

and basic knowledge of Tarot & one to one readings.

This level is for people who already have some experience and wish to develop further.

Simon will give you your Spirit guide who is with you the help you develop.

You will learn how to bond and work with your. Spirit guide.

Simon will also teach you how to use the Tarot cards with you Spirit guide and how to conduct a one to one reading.

Learning to read the Tarot with your Spirit guide is completely different than learning meaning from a book, because everyone life's are very different so one card and one meaning would never relate to everybody.

The Advanced Mediumship level 2; The Masters of Mediumship & developing a higher level of understanding in working with the Major & Minor Arcana.

This workshop is for people who have completed the last two levels with Simon and wish to develop and work professional with Spirit.

Simon will teach you a greater knowledge of Spirit guides around you & their purpose.

You will also gain an increased trust and confidence when working with Spirit.

Many of Simons' past students are now working professionally.  Whether you're thinking of a complete change of lifestyle and career or just want to enhance any natural talent you have, have a look at Simons' website for more information dates and venues.

Have you been on any psychic workshops or any classes?  We'd love to hear about any experiences you've had!
