Members of the Professional Conduct Committee (PCC)

Shelagh Austin works as a therapist in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services in the North Bristol Healthcare Trust and is presently seconded into Education to work in primary schools. The reason she came to the PCC was linked to her work in Child Protection and understanding the need for good boundaries and the courage to protect ourselves and our clients.

Hilary Davenport trained with the London Centre in Psychodrama and Analytic Group Psychotherapy (1990-1994). She is currently self employed working with individuals and groups (privately and at the Priory in Woking). She joined the PCC in 2005 as she thought it time she contributed something to the BPA structure. Hilary believes the ethics of organisations and individuals are diverse and complex, which means they are easily misunderstood by practitioners and clients. The PCC plays an important role with regard to these issues.

Sheila Foxgold is a freelance psychodramatist specialising in forensic work. She trained with the Northern School of Psychodrama and became a member of the PCC in 2002. Sheila finds the PCC work helps her reflect on her practice and consider the wider aspects of what ethical practice actually is.

Lynette Green is a new member of the PCC. Lynette trained with the Northern School of Psychodrama and works as a person- centred Counsellor and Psychodramatist at The Warren Young People's Resource Centre in Hull. She became a member of the PCC through a desire to address some of the tensions in wanting to ensure safe and ethical practice whilst valuing creativity and risk taking. |

She is currently employed as a Principal Lecture at the University of Central Lancashire.

Hugh Maxwell is a registered practitioner with the BPA. He is employed as a psychotherapist in the NHS in East Sussex. He joined the PCC in 2002 as a way of contributing something to the BPA.

Simon Thomson joined the PCC in 2004 and currently works for the NHS in Berkshire. Despite a longstanding dislike of large organisations, Simon feels passionately about supporting the work of a committee that works with the tension between supporting creativity and staying within the boundaries that protect the people who invest their trust, hopes, and money in psychodrama.

Barbara Quin joined the PCC in 1999. She trained at Holwell and is a psychodrama trainer. Barbara is a retired Consultant Clinical Psychologist. She worked with adolescents in CAMHS teams and residential settings, including SSD Intensive Care/Secure units. She has been involved in a wide range of ethical dilemmas in several different settings, and is acutely aware of how difficult they can be to negotiate honestly and successfully. Barbara wishes to continue to make a contribution to psychotherapy and this seems the most important way to do it.
