I work in private practice in a rural environment and my main aim in working with my fellow executive members is in trying to lessen the isolation felt by many independent practitioners.

I am also very keen to support counsellors who are trying to build up a practice as I recognise how difficult this can be.

The association was helpful when I was beginning to set up in private practice so I would like to play my part in helping others to do the same.I hope to expand the membership of the division by exploring ways of making it more appealing to the wider membership of BACP, as I believe there is an important voice to be heard by independent practitioners during this time of the regulation of our profession. There are implications for the many non-cognitive behavioural independent therapists in the light of the Government's drive for access to psychological therapies.

On a personal note I started working as a counsellor eight years ago, and currently run a counselling service within the NHS at a medical centre in South London. I have also had a private practice for the past four years.

Having been in private practice for over 10 years, joining the executive is giving me the opportunity to look at the problems of isolation in this area and consider ways of creating a more supportive practitioner network.

I have been a psychotherapist and teacher for over thirty years and it is very important to me to work with other independant practitioners to improve our profession in whatever way we can.
