Principal Emeritus Joyce Hopewell, B.A., Dip. API, Cert. Ed., Diploma in Personal Psychosynthesis I'm a qualified teacher and have worked with all age ranges from infants up to adult education. I’ve been studying and working with astrology since 1984, training first with the Faculty of Astrological Studies and then with the Astrological Psychology Association. I’ve been a tutor for APA, teaching the Huber Method, from 1987 - 2011. I headed the APA as Principal for 12 years and am now Principal Emeritus of the organisation. I have extensive experience of working with clients and groups, and of teaching the Huber Method of Astrological Psychology throughout the UK, Europe, the US and Australia. I’ve been invited to speak on this subject at national and international conferences. In addition to teaching for APA and seeing clients for astrological counselling, I've broadcast regularly on BBC local radio, and I write about various aspects of astrological psychology for astrological publications and for our own magazine "Conjunction". I’m the author of three books, “The Cosmic Egg Timer”, co-authored with Richard Llewellyn, “The Living Birth Chart” and “Aspect Patterns in Colour." |

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, 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 The astrological chart has been my psychological map and guide to self-understanding for 32 years. Before I joined 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 was awarded APA’s Diploma in 2003 and have been a tutor for the school since 2005. In the 1990s I researched the use of astrological symbolism in medieval Spanish literature and my paper on Juan de Mena's Laberinto de Fortuna was published in an academic series of Queen Mary, University of London, in 1999. From October 2010 to September 2012, I will be taking an MA in Western Esotericism at the University of Exeter – part-time and mostly distance learning, so I shall continue to be based in London. In 1999, I completed a one-year introductory course in the skills and perspectives of Transpersonal Psychology. I am a member of the Transpersonal Perspectives group that meets four times a year for CPD. I am also a member of the Scientific and Medical Network and its Facebook on Cosmos and Consciousness. My 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. |

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. |

Trish Crawford, Dip.API, DCHyp., B.A., MSc. I was born in Kenya, E.Africa, and came to the U.K. in the mid-60’s. I gained degrees in Prehistoric Archaeology and Anthropology during the 1970’s. Since my teenage years, I have been interested in astrology, but only much later decided to pursue it in a more structured way. The Huber Method attracted me particularly because of its strongly spiritual approach. I qualified as a graduate of the Astrological Psychology Association, gaining my Diploma in 2006. I also became interested in hypnotherapy, as a means to get beneath the conscious mind, and gained a Diploma in it in 2007. I work with clients in both the capacity of astrological counselling, and hypnotherapy, and aim to blend the two where appropriate. As well as being a tutor for APA, I have been Membership Secretary since 2009. |
