Hi all..new to this so excuse mistakes.....Went to see Joe Gough last year with my mother and had a horrible experience. Would not recommend anyone to see him. I found him quite rude - which I was willing to accept (having been warned by a friend who had previously seen him) but what I could not accept was his sexually inappropriate comments to me! He said, I need and I quote "a good seeing to"!!!!!!!!!And spent quite a while fishing for information about my sex life. He did not tell me one thing that was correct or accurate. Except perhaps that I am useless at reversing my car...But considering he had watched me park from his sitting room that was hardly a psychic revelation! In fact he made mistake after mistake to the point where it became embarrassing. To fill in the session he listed off the characteristics of my children. He said I have 2 children...I have 4 (been "seen" to at least 4 times so!!!!) and spouted the usual clap trap about the eldest being responsible...the youngest being spoiled,etc..simple family dynamics which can be looked up in any old psychology book.

My main objection to Joe however, was that he told my mother that she would get cancer in the next few weeks (she did not Thank God) and she worried herself sick about this for months afterwards. I believe this man is dangerous and careless in his dealings with people and would advise people considering going to him simply NOT TO.

Ellenora · 02-07-2010 08:24PM

Just read all these comments and noticed Joe telling someone else she works in the caring profession, in a hospital told me the same... and 'listening' to the voices of spirits by leaning his head sideways as if listening to somone speaking...same with me. I am the Mother of the above poster who it was predeicted I would get cancer by Joe....delighted to say I am fit and well.....I am very interested in angel cards and when I learn to read them...you are all welcome for a reading at 10 euro per go.....my car is an 02...would love a 10!!!! Ford focus will do!!!Watch this space:D;):D;););)

Hi All,

I rang for a reading last week and was told by the lady who answered the phone that Joe had a 3 months waiting list, then she said that she had a cancellation the following day which didn't suit me and also another cancellation a week from the day I rang which I took. She wanted €30 deposit via bank transfer (i don't think so--too much trouble settling it up just for a reading a week later!) or I could post it, needless to say it sat in an envelope on my desk for the week and I thought what the heck i'll pay him in full in a few days time anyway. I rang the day of my appointment to confirm appointment and directions to be told my appointment was cancelled as they didn't get a deposit!! after a long pause from me, she said could I transfer the money into his account to which I said NO, i will be there this afternoon which cash.. and finally after a few huffs she put me back on the list for a reading that evening. Then I asked her for directions which I wrote down word for word. A few hours later I was on the road following her directions and could not find that house, I turned back 3 times and started all over again but again couldn;t find the house, I stopped the car and called the mobile , no answer, called again, no answer so left a message. I'm still waiting for a call back 2 days later...still nothing...
Needless to say I found the entire situation very disappointing..
I believe that I was not meant to see him for some reason or another and thank god I didn't hand her over my hard earned cash!!

That is a shocking story Midnight10 - it's as if she purposely gave you the wrong address.. what a money making scheme!!!

you might be right there dancingqueen!!

suey71 · 23-07-2010 01:45PM

His house is impossible to find. I found it by mistake the first time I went.

The second time that I made an appointment I got lost as all the roads around there have changed in the last couple of years.

It would be worth going to see him as he might be quirky and straight/rude but if you go there knowing this you can prepare yourself for it. Some of the things that he told me were bang on but I would have liked to have known more about what was to come. But some of the things he told me were so wrong that it was almost scary to say the least.

If any one out there knows the exact route to his house could they please post it.

I am so annoyed with myself for not reading these posts before wasting my money about a month ago. I have been to fortune tellers before and usually I come out feeling good about myself afterwards. But after Joe-my self confidence hit low. He told me most of the same stuff everyone else seems to have been told-I drive too fast, I will change car (I won't),I will remain single until I change my ways. Contradicted himself a lot as well.
Now I must admit the whole experience was not negative. He got a lot of my personality traits right, and slightly changed my perspective on life-but not worth the money. And certainly if you are in any way vulnerable or in need of good advice stay clear (I came out in tears)!
I would recommend Eddie Christian or June or Grainne on South William St. I went to June before and she was pretty spot on and a sensitive person too.
Again I do know people who think Joe is brilliant, readings are so personal I think it just depends. But certainly Joe is a harsh man.

abrahamhicks · 17-08-2010 06:44PM

A few of my relatives have been to see him - and they were split down the middle - thought he was amazing or a bit tactless. I'm trying to find out about his seminars but I can't get a call back from the woman who takes his messages - does anyone have any info on them? The private sessions are a bit expensive imo for 20 minutes.

Lossizzy · 18-10-2011 08:27PM

I wish I'd have seen these posts last week! Went to see Joe with my mum...
I was prepared for the bluntness of him having been warned by a friend - who I might add found him amazing, my experience is very different.
He was downright rude and way of the mark, heres a quick run down;
was told I work in the caring profession in a Hospital - wrong I work in an office
, my boyfriend drives mad- very much single
- I've got a child- nope no kids
- I lost a child- again no(seriously Joe drop the child act)
- I've alot of childhood trauma- pretty good upbringing to be honest
- I'll go back to college soon- just finished my third course I'm pretty sure I'm done with that
- a close friend died by suicide a few yrs back- no never Thank god
-my family were like the mafia - couldn't b further from the opposite stay out of each other business
- I love my job- currently looking to leave it, 5 mins later readin changed to ill be gone by feb
- I need to cop on I have no life, I need to change, I need to socialise, get a hobby all the same as those above!! - i go out every wknd and visit friends twice a week if anything I need to relax more
- I need to meditate - I do it daily
- I should read the law of atteaction, the power of now, - read them already
- I should try reiki- I give reiki
- I should speak to someone about my issues ; still not sure which of the lies he's referring to there but not to see a counsellor he could recommend a friend for hypnotherapy (convenient)
Also we both got the live in the now not in the past or future.. Seems to tell everyone this!

I questioned alot of this reading ans was told I was cynical And would suffer a mental breakdown... Nice eh!!
My mum got told the same about all the positive thinking theories etc... That apply universally!!
Also told my dad is dead nope very much Alive thank god, she didn't go into the rest she was disturbed by the character bashing she got!

Having been to a number of great people before ( Barbara in navan, Billy Martin mullingar ) I would strongly advise anyone to not waste your money... You'd be better reading the secret, power of now, law of arttraction as he repeats the insights from these!! He seems hell bent to make you feel awful about yourself, I'm a strong character but I was very disturbed and upset by what we both heard, for 1 hr 5 mins he got €160 I'm sick at the thought of it and mad I parted with my cash to be mad feel worthless, AVOID at all costs!!

Missdakota, I took out one of your comments. Also, if you could, please cut down on the txspk, it makes it harder to read your posts. Cheers.

binxeo · 25-10-2011 08:10PM

Ok I have been to Joe twice now and yes even though I found him quite blunt a lot of what he said was true and one thing everything he said would happen, happened. So here are my two experiences with him.

First time I went Oct 2007.

He told me my parents were not there as an emotional support for me...which is true. My mother has depression and my father was never one for emotional support....the way he describe them was my mum doesn't want to help and my dad doesn't know how. This is very true.
He told me that my lifestyle needed to change or I would loose my son (at this point I hadn't actually told him I had a son) This was true, as my sister threatened to call social services on me as I was not able to take proper care of my son. I had very bad post natal depression and didn't realize till I went to Joe another thing he told me
He told me that two of my sisters would betray me, which they did, he also told me that one of them I would need for a time and to make a mends with her, I did and I did need her help and then she stabbed me in the back.
He also told me that the guy I was seeing at the time was the one for me and that we would end up together. He also told me that this man loved me more then even he realized at the time and it would take him time to realize that. This was true, after a very choppy two years of dating he finally realized how much he loved me and we have been together since and are very happy and in love and engaged.

He also told me there was another baby out there for me. This baby would be one conceived in true love and planned. I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl last feb and yes she was planned. We also had two miscarriages before we had our daughter, so I think that proves that we were ment to have a baby.

My second experience was last Novemeber

This was slightly different as he told me more about myself and my personality. All aspects were true. So I was pleased with that.
I was 6mths pregnant going in but I purposely wore a huge jumper belong to my fiance to test him and I was very small so the bump wasn't very noticeable. He told me I was around 6/7mths pregnant and that it was a girl, which it was. He also told me I would need to keep petrol in the car cause there would be a rush out the door early. I had three false alarms before I finally went into labor.
He told me the personality we would seen in our daughter and he couldn't have been more right, she is exactly as he said she would be.
I was involved in a very important court case at the time and he advised me on the best plan of action which was the opposite to what I was going to do and sure enough he was right with his plan.
He told me to take care of my dad as he was in for a rough winter health wise and that he needs to stop thinking he is going to die he isn't.
He warned me again about my sisters and told me being in contact with them would only do me harm. I haven't tested this as I wasn't speaking with them before I went so I left it that way. I don't want to get betrayed by them again.

I was also studying at the time and asked him about my exams coming up and would I do ok, he said the course I was doing wasn't my path and low and behold when I went to go back to college after having my baby factors out of my control stopped me from going back. Not taking this as proof of what he said I decided to repeat the year I couldn't finish. But again I was met with road block after road block. Which resulted in my having to drop out this week from college.

So all in all I think he was quiet accurate. He is not the easiest of people and is very blunt and brash and too the point but there is no need to beat around the bush with these things. I tried twice to get an appointment in between these two times and I couldn't and I personally took that as a sign that it was the wrong time for me to get knowledge Joe had about my life, then when the time was right I was able to make an appointment. If I couldn't find his house or I couldn't get a booking or my deposit went missing in the post I would take that as a sign that this is not the right time for you to go.

Myself and my partner are going to make another appointment with him and see if he can do a joint reading. Not sure if he can though.

Oh the only thing he didn't get right...yet, was that he said I would come into money and I would be financially stable. He never said when so I can say that he was wrong, I still could come into money, but that would be the only thing I would question about my two experiences with him.

binxeo · 25-10-2011 08:14PM

Oh if anyone knows if he does joint reading for couples that would be great!!:)

lulu55 · 02-06-2012 04:30PM

Have been to Joe Gough and I find him amazing, extremely accurate in all his readings, I don't think I would go anywhere else if I felt the urge.
He is straight and to the point. Have recommended him to many of my family and friends and they have also been blown away by what he could tell them and the advice he gave them. In the case of one of those people he told her that she was going to be hard to read but nevertheless he gave her a vital piece of information and some very tough and interesting advice. Sometimes people may say that a particular psychic is no good because he or she did not tell them anything dramatic or something like that. Just thought I would give an up to date comment

Molly82 · 05-07-2012 11:20AM

He's a very opinionated man, can be very direct and harsh I question his professionalism when dealing with vulnerable people coming in for a reading. I think stay away if you believe everything you hear. You need to be able to walk away and make of the reading what you will. I have been and my friends have been and really he is generally a hit or a miss overall. He is good a reading your personality...but other things, I think his own personal judgement gets in the way....Not Sure and Wouldn't Go Again

sweetchillie · 22-07-2012 10:11PM

So myself and my friend went today after having him recommended to us. We travelled a long way and i was a little disappointed if im being honest, i felt alot of it was guess work and he told me no definate things, i was feeding him information and had to tell him about things to try get a better reading i found him very mannerly and nice to chat to but 70 euro for 45mins of vague information is definately not worth it!:( i wont be going back again.

Angelbeauty29 · 05-08-2012 04:10PM

I went to see Joe Gough in 2010 with a friend of mine who was 7 months pregnant at the time.
He was completely accurate about my past , however, I found his predictions for the present and near future, not right at all.
His prediction of the years to come was scarily accurate and has all happened. My friend however had the opposite problem, he told her she was having a boy, she had a girl 3 months later, he told her she drinks too much, when she never ever drinks and certainly didnt when she was pregnant!!! Even after she told him this, he still tried to convince her she drank too much!!
Although I do believe there is definately something there to his gift, and he was genuinely nice to me, my friend was less than impressed, and we went because a friend of ours had recommended him and been a regular of his for years, bizarely enough, in her reading he told her she would have 3 children, all girls, She has since had TWO SONS!! She is still pretty angry about it all.
I wonder is it just some people he can read?

miss dakota · 09-08-2012 01:44PM

Will people please wake up & smell the coffee!!! 9 outa 10 readers c'ant be wrong! this man is a con artist! the only GIFT he has is robbing ur cash!!!! Please d'ont go!!!

EmmaHickey · 29-11-2012 06:26PM

I've went to see Joe for the last few years for healing and also for readings. I find him to be a sincere guide who calls a spade a spade. I feel that people sometimes go in expecting too much from people with these special gifts and you should go in seeing it as a partnership for you two to work together and not just sit back and expect so much from them.
It is disappointing to hear that people didn't have a good experience and definitely some of the inaccuracies are definitely questionable.
I know about 6-7 people who have gone to Joe and still go and have an amazing experience meeting with him.
I would definitely recommend him.

Hi joe, excelent first post,

mlough · 11-02-2013 08:37PM

Went to see Joe only 2 weeks ago and still kicking myself for handing over my hard earned cash to this con man. Having read reviews I googled "cold readings" and that is exactly what Joe does. I was embarrassed listening to him get so many facts wrong. He on the other hand showed no discomfort at all.
He also wasted so much time quoting from the secret and law of attraction and at one point stopped to play me a piece from his phone. A lot of stuff already mentioned on boards applied to my experience. For instance the person who bugs me in work needs a good seeing to!! Commented on my friend who had been in before me. Get a hobby. What did you worry about yesterday?
He got two small insignificant pieces of information right in all the time I was there which felt like days!
Save your money. Joe is a seedy little con man.

northdubgal · 13-04-2013 01:05PM

Can someone pm his number to me please??

Gelishwindows · 01-08-2013 11:18AM

Like this person I felt very ripped off having seen this man two years ago. It was my second time seeing him. I went with a friend and as we waited outside we saw a girl come out in floods of tears. We were going to go home after seeing that but we had travelled a great distance so decided to stay. My friend went in first. When she came out I went in, and like this person mentioned he commented on my friend who had been in before me saying she was "hard work" - which should have set off warning bells. Anyway nothing he said about the future came true and it is now two years later. I'm sorry I handed over my money to him.
I gave up on psychics shortly after that, until recently. Heard about a great guy - Sean P -who does phone readings through my sister in law. Really liked him - he was genuine and up front and told it like it is. He told me from the outset that if we didn't connect within a few minutes we could stop and I wouldn't have to pay anything. Anyway we had a great conversation and reading and he was spot on.
I'm telling everyone about him now as he has made me feel very positive about the future, unlike my previous readings with other psychics.

lookalike · 02-08-2013 04:42PM

Joe Gough, I had appointment with this man a few months ago. I was five min from his house when his wife rang asking me to go for coffee as people arrived unexpected!!! As I'd travelled an hour and a half told her it wasn't feasible, hence got my appointment time.
He was absolutely diabolical, he made 3 different spreads and told me he couldn't read me. Asked the usual question"are you Aries ??? Which I'm not. The man seriously wastes so much time talking about his own beliefs and the world rebirthing!!! He's also very rude.
My advice to anybody is save your money, buy a dress or invest the Money in some other way on yourself.

treeoflife145 · 07-10-2013 11:58PM

I have been to Joe twice now and I don't know how people could have had a bad experience with the man let alone say he's a conman. I went for healing, not reading, and I don't think I need to go again. I feel like he got me back on track after 16 years of being lost.

I guess everyone has their own experience though. Don't want to get in a fight here, just giving my story.

He told me some stuff that I don't know how he knew alright but that seemed normal at the time. He did healing mostly and it was like being in a cloud.The one bad thing I'd say is he's pricey and his house is hard to find. Still, I would personally recommend him. Again, just giving my story.

Hi joe, excelent first post,

I have to point this out sorry. If you really think that girl is Joe, why would he make a profile in March 2010 and then post, only once, over a year later? I mean, I'm more likely to be Joe (male, posted same day as profile created).

Joe Gough-Anyone been to see him?
