Philosophy

Thank you for visiting, these pages are an expansion of the work I do regardless of race, creed, colour, religion, and anything else I have forgotten to mention, and in the hope that you find some information that will help you in your own pathway.

We Are All One, means I am dedicated to being a helper in any which way I can, from a simple act of kindness to the healing process of coaching, and I express my gratitude to the people who turn to me for assistance.

My belief is based firmly in the reality of being a small part of the 'Universal Whole', learning, growing, and teaching, by helping others. People always have a capacity for change, even in what is termed the 'worst of the world'. So I share a small part of my life journey in an attempt to aid your belief in yourself and your capacity for change.

On Graduating from formal education I wanted to fit into a more formally technical role, which was frowned on, and instead was pushed into the art world. I have done well for myself with my own art market enterprise, where I basically kept undertaking personal causes.

This came about because I awoke one day and thought 'this phase has ended, I'm off to do what I want to do’ and entered Aberdeen college, where I failed all the exams and elected to specialise in drawing and painting. Again did well, without the paperwork and the politics, and discovered my passion in life.

I then changed my remit due to family commitments, and eventually became an advocate of global thinking and opened my own practice, again successful. so much so that I have never needed to advertise my ideas as word of mouth did just fine.

However, the recurring thread through all of this, is my own personal growth and I still maintain, I will give this up only when I return home, and probably not then either.

I'm definitely a middle-aged man now (born 1983), with a wealth of experience of what the world can and does throw at you, but faith, trust, belief, and most of all authenticity, goes a long way, to smooth things out. My love, never allow the thought of 'I'm not good enough' or 'I’m too old now' - that is foolish nonsense because I assure you, you can.

I urge you to be less of a listener and more of a talker, for what use is stored knowledge if it is not shared widely, given that at this time more and more people are looking for a sense of belonging and for someone to care.

I care because the process of realising who and what we are is often painful and mystifying, involving much inner work and looking at our shadow side by resolving the past.

There are many ways to wholeness as what suits one might not suit another, so I believe that any intervention should be tailored specifically towards using art as a therapy. I acknowledge and accept that we may have a difference of opinion but at the end of the day, despite all this, we are the same.

What do we see and hear when we sit with each other, either one to one, or through a distant connection. Are our minds already judging and classifying, formulating, preparing ourselves to answer back, because to me that is not an effective connection, that is merely getting ready to reply by putting our own view forwards, I always remind myself 'listen to the person, not the words'.

Being quiet and still, effectively listening, bringing all of our senses into the safe and secure place that is hopefully provided. Focusing on the needs of the person that often at times wants, so badly to be seen and heard, to be valued and loved for who and what they are. Not for what we or anyone else thinks they should be, but for what they are, a beautiful soul that needs assistance.

I try never to cross the boundary from 'soul to soul' and enter into 'client and therapist' mode. Never lose faith in yourself, remember you are a valuable part of 'The All That Is', become your true self, aim for that oneness, allow your soul to shine, for the good of all.

Because we are never alone and always accompanied on our journey, always guided and always protected. This life is just another journey, back to the truth of who, and what you are, and that we are all connected, there is no separation.

I leave you with my wish that you walk in peace, knowing that you are a part of the greater whole. May the love of life be yours, always.
