A Personal Message From Oliver
For anyone interested in helping people help themselves, I believe it’s a very exciting time to be alive! The sheer scale of global connectivity, along with the emergence of applied positive psychology, brings more opportunity for self-actualisation than ever before. Almost every person has in their pocket access to a vast database of knowledge, inspiration and access to like-minded people – from anywhere in the world!
At the same time, the pace and complexity of the world seem to be skyrocketing, in tandem with a breakdown in traditional support networks. It can feel like we’re overloaded by information, opinions, and choices at every turn. The value in being intentional about what we absorb and the places we seek guidance is higher than ever.
I have always been a personal development enthusiast, and it’s thrilling to see this trend flourish and become even more mainstream over time. I believe there’s no ceiling on human potential – or no use in setting one, anyway. Whether it’s around health, careers, or relationships, my passion is for thinking about and sharing ideas on what it takes to live with purpose, find meaning, and thrive in the 21st century.

Why Should You Trust What Oliver Writes?
As a medical doctor exposed to a wide spectrum of human experience, Oliver often reflects on what makes life truly meaningful. Even before completing his Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, he obsesses with knowing what makes people tick. His time spent in a range of psychiatric placements has proven especially interesting in that respect.
Oliver appreciates just how nuanced we all are, as are the factors that determine ‘wellbeing.’ This is making a holistic approach to helping people more relevant than ever in the form of looking upstream beyond traditional medical models of disease. As a writer and coach-in-training, he aims to deeply explore these topics, speak from the heart, and inspire others to appreciate their potential.
