Dr Ian D Ellis-Jones
My formal qualifications are in arts, law, management and religion and include a doctorate in philosophy (PhD) from the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS). I pursue several different career paths simultaneously.
I am an experienced lawyer (specialising in local government law, environmental planning law, administrative law, and mental health law), educator and trainer. I am also a wellness instructor and practitioner, counsellor, author, Unitarian minister of religion, and consultant.
I have worked as a lawyer (for 37 years now) and manager (for many of those years) in the public and community sectors and in private practice, and have also had a long career as an academic in the areas of law relating to local government, environmental planning, administrative law, and mental health law. I also provide consultancy services and training in law, management, and self-development and teach mindfulness.
A member of the Australian and New Zealand Mental Health Association, I have lectured at the New South Wales Institute of Psychiatry to mental health workers for the past 12 years. I have also lectured at other universities (in particular, at UTS, in the Faculty of Law) for long periods.
I am an ordained Unitarian minister, having served the Sydney Unitarian Church as its senior minister. I am currently the minister and spiritual director of the Sydney Unitarian Chalice Circle. In addition, I have been the president or vice-president of a large number of community associations and special interest groups, including terms as president of both the Humanist Society of New South Wales and the Council of Australian Humanist Societies (CAHS).
An author, my books have been published in several countries, and some of my writings have been translated into languages other than English. I have written on the law, religion, psychology, philosophy, and the performing arts. My blog---Dr Ian Ellis-Jones ... Living Mindfully Now---is read by thousands of people around the world each week.
