Derek lives near Southport in north west England with his wife Gwen. They share their home with their two dogs, Jack and Penny, and two cats, Mindy and Toby.
Derek's first supernatural experience came as a child when the spirit of his late grandfather visited him. When young Derek told his grandmother she was not surprised as Derek was to learn that she herself was a medium. His early career was playing football with teams such as the legendary Bill Shankly's Liverpool Football Club and the premier Australian team USC Lion.
His psychic powers were always with him, therefore on his return to England in the early 1980s he became a full time spirit medium based at his home city of Liverpool .
Over the past ten years Derek has achieved international success with his television, radio and personal appearances across the United Kingdom , Europe, the Middle East, New Zealand and the U.S.A. He has conducted telephone consultations for people as far south as India , Australia and New Zealand . In October 1997 he was invited to take part in a tour of the Middle East when he appeared at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Dubai , the Brit Club in Abu Dhabi and Hotel Inter-Continental in the desert location of Al Ain. |
