THE COLLEGE OF PSYCHIC STUDIES: CHARITABLE TRUSTEES

The charitable trustees – who collectively form the College’s 'Council' – shape, define, communicate and monitor conformance to the vision and objectives of the College. A voluntary team themselves, they are headed by officers (including a President, one or more Vice Presidents, a Treasurer and a Company Secretary).

 

THE CHARITABLE TRUSTEES OF THE COLLEGE OF PSYCHIC STUDIES

Joe Bailey

Since being asked by then President, Paul Beard, to join Council as Treasurer in 1980, Joe has supported five successors as Council’s most tenured officer. 

Having achieved Associate Membership of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, he then served four years’ wartime service overseas before pursuing varied business interests over some 30 years. 

In the late 1950s, Joe experienced dramatic relief from chronic debilitating pain. Harry Edwards’ healing abilities inspired Joe and his wife Eileen to pursue fifteen years’ intensive investigation into all matters spiritual and psychic.  An early Samaritan, Joe trained with Chad Varah, serving as a volunteer for thirteen years before counselling professionally at Westminster Pastoral Foundation for 25 years. 

Georgiana Barrowcliff

Georgiana was first introduced to the College in the late 1970s, on attending psychic development classes with Elizabeth Farrell.  That experience awakened a deep interest in both spiritual and personal growth that continues to this day.

Her first career was in arts administration, but her ten-year tenure at the Arts Council was followed by a desire to take time out to raise her children. The College’s inspiration eventually informed the next step of Georgiana’s career path, and in 1993 she decided to seek out a healing profession. 

Having completed specialist training, Georgiana now practices Five-Element Acupuncture, a system of medicine that can open the door to profound personal transformation and healing through systemically treating the mind, body and spirit. 

Stephen Chapman

Stephen has been a member of the College since 1985, and has attended various workshops and psychic-development classes during that time.  In addition to this, he also served as a volunteer librarian for many years. 

Having been asked to join Council in 2004, Stephen’s background in commercial property law has informed the decision-making of its members as charitable trustees.

A solicitor and law partner in private practice, his career includes experience as a consultant as well as the in-house lawyer for the Holmes Place Health Clubs franchise, where he was in charge of the development of health clubs both in the United Kingdom and Europe.
