Advanced Techniques for the Evolving Medium
An Integrated Program for Intermediate & Advanced Mediums
If you're ready to advance your mediumship beyond the basics, this practical and progressive mentoring program is designed for you.
This intermediate-to-advanced mentoring program is designed for mediums who want to refine their skills, strengthen their connection, and meet the demands of a modern world with maturity and integrity.
This is a program for the evolving practitioner—a structured, hands-on training designed to help you bring greater accuracy, presence, and emotional depth to your spirit communication. Whether you’re working in public or one-to-one sessions, this program will help you to approach complex situations with clarity and confidence.
You’ll learn how to follow the thread of a communicator’s story, work with double links and multiple recipients, and deliver accurate, meaningful, and emotionally resonant messages.
And importantly, we remember the whole medium — you’ll also learn how to take better care of your energy, so your mediumship remains sustainable, inspired, and resourced.

”I have been a professional medium for 32 years, recognized in books, newspapers, and magazines, but Dr. McCarthy gave me new techniques and insights that definitely deepened my practice as a medium, allowing the spirit community to express their true character and make the richness of their presence felt.”
Joan Carra
Stronger, Clearer Connections
If you're eager to bring sophistication to your mediumship that is more aligned with our understanding of consciousness in the twenty-first century, this innovative course is tailor-made for you. It is designed to take mediumship beyond mere facts and rote message-giving to share the communicator’s story and give full expression to their life.
Move beyond surface-level evidence. Learn to share the story of the communicator with more nuance and sensitivity.
Meaningful Practice & Feedback
This is a hands-on training environment. You’ll work with more complex links, such as double communicators and emotionally charged situations. You’ll learn how to recognise the difference between psychic and spirit information with confidence, and how to hold the space when recipients are emotional or hesitant.
You’ll engage in guided exercises with other students and their loved ones in Spirit Space, receive feedback, and explore what makes a message meaningful for both recipient and spirit.
Enhance Accuracy, Presence, and Trust
This mediumship program teaches you to stay attuned to the communicator’s intent, build emotional resonance, and deliver clearer, more accurate messages. Through structured exercises and real-time practice, you’ll develop greater trust in your mediumship and improve the quality of your communication.
Nurture Your Spirit
This course is not just about mediumship but also about spiritual growth and healing. Your mediumship is shaped by your own well-being. You’ll learn practical ways to nurture your spirit, energy, and connection, as you discover how to maintain presence, manage challenges, and stay balanced as you grow.

“Karen’s approach is both exciting and deeply insightful. By blending with the story and character of a spirit communicator, she teaches us to allow the facts to emerge naturally, which feels organic and true to the essence of spirit. Her course is not only incredibly helpful but it’s also a lot of fun.”

Meet Your Mentor
Karen Frances McCarthy PhD CSNU is an award-holding medium, an academic, and a best-selling author who strives to bring a unique perspective to modern mediumship, one that blends the presence and loving kindness of Zen with rigorous evidence-based spiritualist practices and the Celtic mysticism of her upbringing. Her bestselling book Till Death Don’t Us Part has touched the hearts of many, and her public speaking engagements can offer profound insights into spirituality and the transformative power of expanded and eternal consciousness.
As a firm believer in balancing education with experience, Karen studied intensively at the world-renowned Arthur Findlay College in England and holds three Certificates of Recognition in mediumship, spiritual healing, and public speaking from its governing body, the Spiritualist National Union. She also has a diploma in grief and bereavement counselling from the Institute of Counselling in Scotland.
Karen’s doctoral research is a groundbreaking contribution to contemporary literary studies. It explores themes of continued consciousness, new approaches to spirituality, narrative empathy, and new pathways for understanding life's emotional and spiritual dimensions. Her latest book, based on this research, The Re-enchanted Ghost in Contemporary American Spectral Fiction, is to be published by Routledge/Taylor & Francis in 2026.
As a teacher, she is inspired by her father, an Olympic Coach, who taught her to pursue excellence in teaching and help every student be the best they can be. Another key influence is the profound spiritual connection and inspiring teachings of her mentor, the late Glyn Edwards. Today, she teaches at New York University, The Shift Network, the Arthur Conan Doyle Centre, the Edgar Cayce Center, and the One Spirit Learning Alliance. Her courses are also available to stream on Humanity’s Team.
