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.

Executive Director - Julie Hay TSTA OPE
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 have many years’ experience as ‘ordinary employee’, manager, trainer and consultant in the public and private sectors and of teaching TA around the world. 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.
