Joyce Hopewell,

B.A., Dip. API, Cert. Ed.,

Diploma in Personal Psychosynthesis

I was formerly a teacher and social worker and have been an astrologer for 21 years, gaining qualifications from both the Faculty of Astrological Studies and The Astrological Psychology Association.

I have extensive experience of working with clients and groups and teach the Huber Method of Astrological Psychology throughout the UK and overseas.

I have completed a training in Personal Psychosynthesis with the Centre for Psychosynthesis Studies, UK. I have been a speaker at Astrology Conferences in the UK, Europe and Australia.

In addition to directing and teaching for The Astrological Psychology Association and seeing clients for astrological counselling, I am visiting astrologer on BBC local radio, where I broadcast regularly.

My first book, “The Cosmic Egg Timer”, co-authored with Richard Llewellyn, was published in November 2004.

David Kerr, Dip. API

I originally come from St. Andrews, Scotland. I came to live in the Scottish Borders in 1977 after working in Zambia and Aberdeenshire in my previous career in financial management.

I began the serious study of esoteric subjects in 1983 but after an initial flirtation with more conventional forms of astrology, did not return to it until I embarked on the API Diploma course in 1994, completing it in 1998. Since then I have been a tutor of the diploma course, and a little later also the foundation courses.

In recent years I have given workshops in South-East Scotland, in Norway, and as part of the annual Face to Face programme. As well as my educational activities I also work with a small number of counselling clients.

Since 2004 I have also acted as the Course Administrator for API-UK, now The Astrological Psychology Association, which involves dealing with new enrolments, production and despatch of course materials, maintenance of student records, liaison with tutors etc.

Ghislaine Adams, Dip. API,
Dip. Psychosynthesis,
Dip. THP(NSHAP), MNHRP, UKCP Reg.

I was born and educated in France. I came to England in 1973.

Astrology has always been part of my life. My mother taught me the little she knew about sun signs when I was very young. I then read extensively on the subject and thus gathered a body of knowledge that has given me a deep understanding of the field.

I was awarded the Dip. API in 1997 and have been a tutor since 2000. During this time I have run many introductory courses and workshops on Astrological Psychology.

I work as a therapist and have a private practice where I offer astrological counselling, integrative psychotherapy and spiritual mentoring. When face-to-face consultations are not practical for various reasons, I am happy to offer telephone consultations as an alternative.

An integral part of the Astrological model is the transpersonal dimension that encourages us to honour ourselves as spiritual beings in a physical form.

Sue Lewis, BA, Dip. API, DFAstrolS

I live in Battersea, London SW11, a short bus ride from Victoria, Chelsea and South Kensington and a short walk from Clapham Junction station.

The astrological chart has been my psychological map and guide to self-understanding for over 30 years. Before I joined API-UK, now The Astrological Psychology Association, in 1998, I took the Diploma of the Faculty of Astrological Studies and in the late 1980s I was a tutor of Spanish students taking the Faculty Certificate.

I've also done research into the use of astrological symbolism in medieval Spanish literature and my small volume on Juan de Mena's Laberinto de Fortuna was published in an academic series in 1999.

Over many years I attended workshops of the Centre for Transpersonal Psychology and in 1999 I took their one-year Introduction to Transpersonal Perspectives. In 2003 I was awarded API's English and Swiss Diplomas in Astrological Counselling.

I have recently retired from an administrative career to devote more time to astrology and writing. My APA London Group holds monthly meetings on Saturday afternoons. This gives me an opportunity to support local students and provides a forum for wider discussion and experiential work using astrology as a guide to personal growth and spiritual development.

Diana Brandt, Dip. API

live in Johannesburg, South Africa, but originated from England and came to South Africa in 1947 as a small child. I had the usual education, married, had a large family and only became interested in Astrology in 1980.

I achieved a diploma in traditional Astrology, and in October 1984, Richard Llewellyn came to South Africa and gave a introductory workshop on Huber Astrology and, as they say, the rest is History.

I began the Diploma course in 1988, or there about, and we (my very good friend and I ) travelled all over to where ever the Hubers were giving workshops.

In those days we had our little books that had to signed by the Hubers to say that you had attended 'x' amount of workshops.

I now give the occasional workshop on Huber Astrology and I am a tutor for the The Astrological Psychology Association. I have an ongoing client base. I have retired from the commercial scene, but have a part time book-keeping job.

Should anyone be around in Johannesburg please do not hesitate to give me a ring.

Kathy Rogers, MSc., Dip. API

I grew up in Leicestershire and now live in Cheshire with my family.

I first became interested in astrology 25 years ago and started to study the subject seriously 12 years later. I obtained my Certificate qualification from the Faculty of Astrological Studies in 1999 and then realised how much I enjoyed the Huber approach. I gained my Diploma from API, now The The Astrological Psychology Association, in 2007.

I am interested in encouraging people to use astrology as a tool for developing greater self-awareness and for taking a more conscious approach to the choices life offers. I use astrology alongside life coaching in which I also hold a qualification.

I have been involved in leading a study group for astrology students in Cheshire for the past 4 years and run workshops as part of the The Astrological Psychology Association’s annual programme. I work as a tutor for the The Astrological Psychology Association alongside both my career in the public sector and taking time to be a wife and mum.
