Jason Paul, Spiritual Medium and Tarot Reader based in Bristol, South West England

In many ways, my journey into mediumship didn’t begin when I first stepped into a spiritual church or sat in a development circle.

It began much earlier.

My late grandfather, Eddie Paul, was a respected medium and spiritual healer, and it is his surname that I use professionally today. Although I didn’t fully understand it at the time, spirituality and sensitivity were already quietly woven into my life long before I consciously explored them for myself.

Long before I had the language to understand it, I was aware of things I couldn’t fully explain. Feelings. Intuitions. Moments of knowing that seemed to arrive from somewhere beyond the ordinary senses.

As a child, I was deeply sensitive. But growing up, I often associated that sensitivity with simply feeling different. Due to bullying and the environment around me, like many people, I learned to suppress parts of myself in order to fit into the world around me.

I grew up in West London in fairly humble surroundings and attended one of the lowest-performing schools in the country at the time. School was difficult, particularly as a young gay man trying to navigate an environment where survival often felt more important than self-expression.

Looking back now, I can see that life was shaping me long before I realised it.

My path took many unexpected turns before spirituality eventually became the centre of it all.

I worked as a magician, travelled the world as cabin crew for Virgin Atlantic, and later joined the Metropolitan Police at the age of 23.

From the outside, life often appeared exciting or successful. But internally, I always carried a feeling that something was missing — as though I was searching for something deeper without fully understanding what it was.

Over the years, life brought experiences that challenged me profoundly: relationship struggles, addiction, burnout, financial pressure, identity struggles, and eventually what I now understand to have been a dark night of the soul.

After leaving the police, I rebuilt my life through sheer determination and eventually founded a successful multi-million-pound legal recruitment business. Yet despite the external success, I still felt disconnected from myself.

I had achieved many of the things society tells us should bring happiness.

But inwardly, I felt exhausted, spiritually lost, and emotionally unfulfilled.

Everything began to change in my early thirties.

During a conversation with my mum, I opened up about my fear of death. She handed me a book about near-death experiences, and something inside me shifted.

Until that point, I had largely viewed life through a logical and material lens. But for the first time, I allowed myself to genuinely question whether consciousness could continue beyond physical death.

That search eventually led me to Arthur Findlay College in 2020 — a place regarded by many as the world’s leading centre for mediumship and psychic sciences.

I arrived there searching for proof.

What I found changed my life completely.

Not only did I witness experiences that profoundly challenged my understanding of reality, but I also found myself giving deeply evidential messages to complete strangers with an accuracy and emotional depth I could not logically explain.

In many ways, it felt less like learning something new… and more like remembering something that had always been there.

Since then, my life has become devoted to exploring mediumship, consciousness, healing, and the deeper nature of the soul.

I continue to study and develop with respected mediums and teachers, while also learning through direct experience, spirit communication, and the people I am fortunate enough to sit with through this work.

Today, whether through mediumship readings, mentoring, speaking, demonstrations, or through the Soul Sync podcast, the intention behind my work remains the same:

To help people feel less afraid.
Less alone.
And more connected to themselves, to life, and to the understanding that love — and consciousness — continue beyond physical death.

I believe many people are carrying experiences, sensitivities, and questions they have never fully spoken about.

My hope is that through this work, people feel seen, reassured, and reminded that there may be far more to life — and to themselves — than they currently realise.
