Dickie is a multi-award-winning veterans’ wellbeing practitioner, researcher, and evaluator whose work bridges psychology, heritage, and community practice.

He founded The Mimir Collective to close the gap between research and real life, helping organisations understand not only what changes, but why it changes and how it can be sustained.

With over twenty years of combined experience across the military, heritage, and wellbeing sectors, Dickie specialises in evaluation design, trauma-informed practice, and social impact research. His pioneering work with veterans has been nationally recognised for demonstrating how heritage and community engagement can foster recovery, purpose, and belonging.

Guided by the belief that reflection is the foundation of learning and that evidence should empower rather than exclude, Dickie's practice blends academic rigour with lived understanding.

He is currently completing a PhD on wellbeing evaluation frameworks and continues to lead national and community projects exploring how engagement with history, place, and creativity supports recovery and reconnection.
