Honorary fellow
My name Is Pip, and I started life out as a French teacher, and then trained at Roehampton as a psychotherapist. That was in the 80s, and I really didn’t like the isolation of private practice. So for a long time I didn’t practice but was Head of The Mental Health Conference Unit at St George’s Hospital Medical School and since then have run my own company training mental health professionals. I was for a long time the Commissioning Editor for the UKCP Book Series and whilst doing that job I decided to write and edit Psychotherapy 2.0: Where Psychotherapy and Technology Meet, which was published in the UKCP series in 2014. I trained as an online counsellor with OLT doing their Diploma in Online Counselling as well as their Diploma in Online Therapeutic Supervision, and I found I loved working online. I am now training director for PWT ACADEMY for Online Counselling and Psychotherapy and have been the Standards and Ethics Officer with ACTO since 2015. From November 2017 Till May 2019 I Research and Development Director. From June 2019 Vice Chair.
Pip retired from ACTO in march 2022.
