Chairperson (and Executive Director) - Julie Hay TSTA COPE
I was one of the three founder members and the inaugural Chair of IDTA, a former president of ITAA and EATA, and of the EMCC (European Mentoring & Coaching Council). I am the Editor of IJTARP (International Journal of TA Research & Practice) and I am Project Manager of the TA Proficiency Awards. I am also now the IDTA Dlegate to EATA, respresenting us as the only Special Interest Group so far affiliated. I have many years’ experience as ‘ordinary employee’, manager, trainer and consultant in the public and private sectors and of teaching TA around the world, in over 40 countries. I am keen for IDTA to reach out across cultures, sharing what we know and being enriched by different perspectives. I coined the term ‘developmental TA’ back in the 1990s as a way to describe those of us who apply TA in non-therapy contexts, to develop rather than to cure, and am now Academic Dean of an MSc in Developmental TA. I am currently leading TA programmes in China, Japan and Kazakhstan.

I am Chair of Training Standards Committee on the IDTA Council. I was also UK delegate to EATA 2014-2017, where I represented the 4 UK-based associations.

I previously worked as a pupil counsellor in a secondary school in Hemel Hempstead and used TA with a number of the pupils I saw. I first became interested in TA when I studied it as part of my counselling diploma. I have been attending TA training now for several years and I am looking forward to my roles on IDTA Council as National Coordinator for the TA Proficiency Awards in the UK, and looking after the IDTA website.
Council Member - Sandra Wilson TSTA O
I am a human resources management professional with over twenty-five years experience gained from grass roots to senior management posts. My successful consultancy experience is in working with large organisations. Specialising in change management, organisation design, leadership and team development, I work with individuals and teams to promote change, increase competence and improve performance in the workplace. In May 2017 was awarded Doctor of Professional Studies (Coaching Psychology), based on research where I explored the influence of the coach's unconscious mind on the coaching process.
Council Member - Jianqiao Chen BA Economics, MA Psychology
My interest in TA is around applying TA to both therapy and education fields, especially in parenting and family relationships and developmental psychology.
I volunteered for the IDTA council because, through the window of developmental TA, I can see a broader view of TA and can see more possible ways to apply TA in various life arena. Developmental TA is now not well transmitted in China, and I want to gather the attention of more professionals and normal people to the potential and utility of it, so as to promote public understanding of DTA.
Jianqiao is based in China and serves as the liaison and representative of the many members of IDTA in China, allowing effective communication across the English/ Chinese language boundary.
