I am here to nurture and foster growth, using pattern analysis of our quantum entangled system looking for archetypal patterns that are most generative to individuals and organisations. The will to flourish is inherent in all living things in society and nature.

My work is influenced by my cross-cultural perspective as a member of the Editorial Board of the International Journal of Existential Positive Psychology which focuses on the integration of existential philosophy / psychology and the psychology of wellbeing.

My research explores the Taoist concept of wu-wei, translated as ‘non-action’ or ‘effortless action’, which offers a sustainable route to live a fully actualised life. Carl Jung recognised synchronicity, the spontaneous and harmonious flow of nature, as Taoist wu-wei. This flow experience allows individuals to act from the Self rather than the ego. The experience of synchronicity has capacity to bring a sense of reconciliation not only with oneself, but also the world where actions are in harmony with the larger patterns of life.

Using a psychodynamic lens my work feeds back into my research in psychology, an area where emphasis on a linear focus in the literature has led to it becoming increasingly removed from our experienced reality. I keep an eye open for the emergence of undiagnosed psychological disorders and have worked with clients with a range of clinical conditions.

My formative career was spent as a lawyer, predominantly for Shearman & Sterling where I advised on large-scale corporate transactions for a global multinational client base. Retraining in psychology I use this combined expertise to provide pragmatic and evidence-based solutions to any system and range of stakeholders. The Art of Wu Wei 🌱 is about regaining balance & harmony through synchronicity.
