PROFESSIONAL POSITIONS / MEMBERSHIPS - Overview I was on the statutory register of Clinical Psychologists in South Africa, i.e. legally accredited to practice psychotherapy as well as being recognised as a Research Psychologist by the South African Medical and Dental Council. I was then been accorded associate membership status (senior psychologist) by the British Psychological Society in the Clinical Psychology Division in the UK in l978. For several years I supervised probationer clinical psychologists in the North West Thames Training Scheme, as well as counselling and occupational psychologists. Now I am a Chartered Clinical and Counselling Psychologist and Fellow of the British Psychological Society (BAC). I have also been elected a Fellow of the British Association for Counselling (BPS). I have presented more than 270 papers/workshops at national and international conferences in, for example, Florence, Rome, Milan, Brussels, Tel Aviv, Alicante,. Stockholm and various other countries on various aspects of counselling, psychotherapy, supervision, ethics and organisational development. Developed a private practice in individual and group psychotherapy and supervision as well as consultation to various organisations and teaching as visiting lecturer or in many academic settings, eg. North East London Polytechnic and Goldsmiths’ College, Antioch University, now Regent’s College, the Warneford Hospital, Roehampton Institute MSc. course in Counselling Psychology, Surrey University’s D. Psych. programme in Counselling Psychology, University College London’s D. Clinical Psychology programme, City University, the New School for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the M.A. in Psychoanalytic Studies at Goldsmiths College, University of London, as well as universities in Europe such as Belgium and Rome. I have facilitated many workshops for associated professional groups eg. for experienced clinical psychology supervisors eg. on ‘Power, Politics and Clinical Psychology’ at the Salomons Centre in Tunbridge Wells. I was the author and principal founder of Metanoia Psychotherapy Training Institute, the seeds which I laid in 1974, and which I represented for many years at the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (ex-Rugby Psychotherapy Conference and UKSCP). When I sold it in April l994 to a Charitable Trust it had more than 800 enrolled trainees, and courses were respectively BAC- and UKCP-Accredited. The organisational transition was the outcome of more than five years of my publicly declared intention to form metanoia into an independent charity. I am the sole or senior original designer of all the qualifying courses in Person-Centred Counselling, Gestalt Therapy, Transactional Analysis, an academically validated Diploma training in Supervision, Integrative Psychotherapy, which has gained international recognition and respect. I also envisaged a PhD programme. I initiated the process which has culminated in several of these courses getting MSc validation from Middlesex University and envisaged a doctoral programme. On my initiative the Supervision Diploma course was validated by Roehampton Institute via Surrey University. My continuing education has included substantial contributions to and regular attendance at most of the major national and international conferences in my fields of interest. I now work co-operatively as well as independently at the Centre for Qualitative Research in Psychotherapy, training and supervision at PHYSIS, London. I am frequently invited as keynote speaker for the Clinical Theology Association, Westminster Pastoral Foundation’s Conference on Transpersonal Psychology, and I am a founding member of the BPS Section on Transpersonal Psychology. I am a Teaching Member of the London Convivium for Archetypal and Cultural Psychotherapy , I have been leading an archetypal group devoted to the study of alchemy and transpersonal psychology (LAPIS) for several years and have pioneered many workshops and events in this field. Also frequent Keynote Speaker at, for example, AMED (Association for Management Education) conferences, the European Association for Integrative Psychotherapy Conference in Brussels, the Association for Humanistic Psychology Annual Conference, the National Israel Psychotherapy Association Conference, The Psychology of Creativity at the British Association for the Performing Arts Trust, The South Bank University International Conference on Organisational Consultancy and the Annual Conference of the Association for Play Therapists, The BPS Psychotherapy Section Conference, the PCSR Conference l997 on Bystanding, the European Arts Therapies Conference 1997, Kent and Sheffield Universities “On the Sublime”, the 1998 BAC Research Conference on Researching Ethics. I regularly teach at Management Schools for example on the MSc programmes in Organisational Consultancy of Roffey Park Management College and the Soloman Centre in Kent. Keynote Speaker at the BPS Counselling Psychology First International Conference and at the European Association of Psychotherapy Conference in Rome. Recent invitations include: a lecture at the London School of Economics on creating facilitative conditions for leaning and unlearning in organisations as complex adaptive systems. This has resulted in a major research project with multi-national companies’ leading executives on creativity in rapidly changing conditions of complexity which I presented at the LSE Conference on Complexity in December 1998.
