Paul Fenton-Smith is the author of the successful The Tarot Revealed, and founder of the Academy of Psychic Sciences. He has studied and practised these sciences in Australia, Europe and the United States, and teaches regularly in Australia, England and Ireland.

Clairvoyant, writer and regular media guest, Paul Fenton-Smith is the author of seven books on the psychic sciences. With simple language and entertaining examples, Paul takes a practical approach to the esoteric. Whether reading for clients, teaching or conveying his broad knowledge through his books, Paul aims to bring tangible benefits to people’s everyday lives.

Paul began his studies with a course in palmistry in 1978. Moving from Adelaide to Sydney in 1980, he studied the tarot and completed a diploma in clinical hypnotherapy (1986) before leaving for London to complete a certificate in psychic counselling (1988).

In 1985 Paul established the Academy of Psychic Sciences in Sydney, aiming to set a standard in the industry. All students who seek certification through the Academy must first successfully complete written and practical examinations and abide by a set of ethics.

Aside from his teaching commitments at the Academy, Paul is a columist for several magazines and is currently writing two more books. He also runs a busy private practice in Sydney as a clairvoyant, counsellor and hypnotherapist and he conducts one-day courses around Australia, the US and the UK.

Through practising and teaching the psychic sciences for more than 20 years now, Paul has always encouraged his clients and students to believe only what they can see or experience for themselves.
