Whilst working on his PhD, John-Luke studied Shamanism with the Isle of Avalon Foundation and after further study and ceremony, was initiated as a Celtic Shaman. It was during his final Initiation, when Vision Quest techniques were employed, the initiating Shaman saw a grey wolf walking beside and in a dark forest. It was explained that the wolf symbolised the fearless teacher, who would walk beside the darkness of other's pain and would venture into that darkness to lead the lost into the light. John-Luke was conferred with the Shamanic name of 'Wolf-who-walks-in-the-dark' .The title 'Anam Cara' which means 'Soul Friend' was awarded to him on his graduation.

John-Luke planned, set-up and directed the Simon of Cyrene Sanctuary Aids Hospice, which was the first Aids Hospice outside London and the third in England.

He created and ran The Sacred Space Institute of Counselling & Psychotherapy.

The school offered the only Nationally approved Psychospiritual Psychotherapy training in England , and offered a Psychospiritual clinic for clients, (individuals, groups, and organisations). The teachings within the school were based on Dr. Edward's research and varied learning. These teachings offered theories and principals for working with others and for the transformation of self.

Students trained not only in psychotherapy but in a new approach to living more authentically.

This work is continued in England by one of his former students Naomi Duffield, Shekinah School of Psychotherapy. John-Luke acts as honouree advisor and Supervisor to Naomi and her school.

John-Luke believes that the issues in our lives that betray our destiny fall out of our fear of Divine loneliness that manifests in a dysfunctional relationship with ourselves. This relationship yearns for completion' the yearning and dysfunction become reflected in all our external relationships.

John-Luke's approach is to be a catalyst in the transformation and emergence of truth in his clients' relationship with themselves --a 'soul alchemist'.
