Honored and Grateful: Recognising the Journey
Winning Medium of the Year 2024/2025 and the Mediumship Training Academy 2024/2025 award has been a humbling experience. These awards mean a great deal to me, as they reflect the work I’ve been fortunate enough to do with so many people over the years.
Being a medium is about more than just connecting with the spirit world—it’s about helping people find comfort, clarity, and healing. Receiving the Medium of the Year award is a reminder of the trust so many have placed in me to deliver messages from loved ones who have passed on. It’s a privilege to do this work, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to help others in this way.
The Darren Turner Spiritual Mentorship Academy being recognised with the Spiritual Mentorship Academy 2024/2025 award is also something I’m incredibly proud of. When I started the Academy, my aim was to create a space where people could explore their spiritual abilities and develop their connection to the spirit world. To see the Academy acknowledged in this way is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of everyone involved.
What Prestige Awards Has To Say
I’m incredibly honored to have been recognised by Prestige Awards for my work as a clairvoyant medium and spiritual mentor. Their kind words mean so much to me, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share my journey with a wider audience. Below is an excerpt from their feature, reflecting on the awards for Medium of the Year 2024/2025 and Mediumship Training Academy 2024/2025.
“The judges praised the kind and empathetic way Darren conducts his spiritual experiences. The Somerset-based expert’s approach is marked by a unique blend of warmth, humour and grounded authenticity, making him highly relatable to those he guides. As a certified medium and public speaker through the United Spiritualist Church in the UK, Darren upholds the highest ethical standards in his practice, including personal readings and group demonstrations that have brought comfort, healing and closure to countless individuals.”
“Darren Turner is a compassionate spiritual medium and mentor, renowned for his authenticity, expertise and dedication to delivering spiritual growth.”
Nurturing Spiritual Growth Through Mentorship
Winning these awards has also given me the opportunity to reflect on the importance of teaching and sharing knowledge. Through the Darren Turner Spiritual Mentorship Academy, I’ve been able to guide others on their own spiritual journeys, helping them to develop their abilities and build confidence in their connection to the spirit world. Whether someone is just starting out or looking to refine their skills, the Academy is a space where growth and learning are at the heart of everything we do.
One of the most rewarding aspects of running the Academy is seeing the transformation in students as they begin to trust their intuition and embrace their spiritual potential. Mediumship and spiritual development aren’t just about connecting with the spirit world—they’re about personal growth, self-awareness, and learning to navigate life with a deeper sense of purpose. Watching students take these steps and seeing the positive impact it has on their lives is one of the greatest joys of my work.
These awards are a reminder of why I started the Academy in the first place: to create a supportive environment where people can explore their spiritual gifts and feel empowered to use them. Whether it’s through one-to-one mentorship, group workshops, or online courses, my goal is to help others discover their own path and realise that mediumship and spiritual connection are skills that can be nurtured and developed.
