Richard Llewellyn, Dip. API, DMS. Astrol.

Principal Emeritus of the Astrological Psychology Institute (UK).

My background is in Industry and I was running my own company when I became attracted into the esoteric realm in 1980. I began by studying astrology with the Mayo School and gained their Diploma in 1981. In the same year I met with Bruno and Louise Huber in Switzerland and that led me to found the English Huber School of Astrology, now known as API UK, in 1982.

In 1988 I graduated after a 3 year training in Therapeutic Counselling with the Psychosynthesis & Education Trust in London. I have run many Astrological and Psychosynthesis workshops around the world. I am a Reiki Master and live in Wirral.

I am presently counselling, running workshops, tutoring API students, writing, editing and producing 'Conjunction', the API newsletter.

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, which involves dealing with new enrolments, production and despatch of course materials, maintenance of student records, liaison with tutors etc.

Ghislaine Adams, Dip. API,
DIP THP(NSHAP), MCRAH, UKCP Reg

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 for API UK since 2000. I am also a registered tutor for the Milton Keynes Adult Education Consortium and have run many introductory courses and workshops on Astrological Psychology locally.

I work as a therapist and have a private practice where I offer astrological counselling, integrative psychotherapy and spiritual healing.

I hold monthly tutorials for API Diploma students and anyone interested in attending these should contact me for further details. Milton Keynes is easily accessible by car and rail and within a short distance from Bedford, Northampton, Oxford, Aylesbury - London, Cambridge and Birmingham are only an hour away by car.

Rev. Jeremy Cooper MSc.; Dip. API; Dip. Guidance and Counselling

I was born and grew up in Hawes in Wensleydale, and afterwards lived in Newcastle upon Tyne with my family (married with two daughters, two dogs, geese, goats and bees) and worked as a dental surgeon for 29 1/2 years.

In 1980 I underwent a change of mind and direction, which resulted in leaving dentistry in 1994 and enrolling on the API Diploma Course, as well as Psychology and Counselling Courses.

I attained the Diploma in Guidance and Counselling in 1998 from the University of Northumbria, and the Swiss Diploma in Astrological Psychology in 2001. I was Ordained as an Interfaith Minister and Spiritual Counsellor at the Interfaith Seminary London in 2004.

I have my home in Cumbria and Devon where I facilitate monthly seminars based on 'Huber astrology and Beyond'.

I counsel individuals in astrology and spirituality as well as tutoring and teaching for API UK.

Sue Lewis, BA, Dip. API, DFAstrolS

I live in London and have recently moved to Battersea, on the south side of the Thames and a short walk from Clapham Junction station.

The astrological chart has been my psychological map and guide to self-understanding for 27 years. Before I joined API UK 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 have also researched astrology in medieval Spanish literature and my small volume on Juan de Mena's Laberinto de Fortuna was published in 1999.

Over many years I attended workshops of the Centre for Transpersonal Psychology and in 1999 I took their one-year Introduction to Transpersonal Perspectives. In 2003 I was awarded API's English and Swiss Diplomas in Astrological Counselling.

My work as an astrologer takes place alongside an administrative career and I am a personal assistant during the day. So the times to contact me are Monday to Friday from 6.30-11.00pm or over the weekend. That's when I can see clients and support students.

Maria Maw, PhD, Dip. API

My background is in Science, I obtained a PhD in Biochemistry in 1982 and a secondary school teaching certificate. However, at the age of 25 I needed a break from academia and set off to fulfil my dream of travelling around the world. I knew immediately that I was on a spiritual search and came back 4 years later with a passion for all things alternative including astrology.

I started with the API courses in 1988 getting my Diploma in 1998 during which time I qualified as a Kinesiologist and started an ongoing training in personal development (with a group in Manchester called New Light). I also developed my own range of Flower Essences and had two children whilst living very close to nature in Snowdonia. We then moved to Macclesfield in Cheshire, I became a tutor for the school and had another child. I now run my own business with Aloe Vera based products.

My particular astrological interests include the API 'Age Point' progress (with its connection to personal process). In tutoring/workshops my aim is aligned to the API approach, to provide students the opportunity for experiential learning in order to more fully integrate their mental understanding.

Diana Brandt, Dip. API

I live in Johannesburg, South Africa, but originated from England and came to South Africa in 1947 as a small child. I had the usual education, married, had a large family and only became interested in Astrology in 1980.

I achieved a diploma in traditional Astrology, and in October 1984, Richard Llewellyn came to South Africa and gave a introductory workshop on Huber Astrology and, as they say, the rest is History.

I began the diploma course in 1988, or there about, and we (my very good friend and I ) travelled all over to where ever the Hubers were giving workshops.

In those days we had our little books that had to signed by the Hubers to say that you had attended 'x' amount of workshops.

I now give the occasional workshop on Huber Astrology and I am a tutor for the API UK. I have an ongoing client base. I have retired from the commercial scene, but have a part time book-keeping job.

Should anyone be around in Johannesburg please do not hesitate to give me a ring.

I am Swedish, but have had the opportunity to live in many different countries. I have been a sailor on merchant ships, a UN-soldier in Cyprus and a radio communicator at the Foreign Ministry of Sweden. Met my husband 1986 when I was working at the Swedish Embassy in Saudi Arabia. I came in contact with the API UK 1993, when I was living in Jakarta, Indonesia.

I started on the Foundation Course, and soon found out that I appreciated the Huber approach to chart interpretation. I became a Registered Local Teacher in 2000, after having moved back to Sweden, and translated the Foundation Course into Swedish. I finally took my Diploma in 2003, and established the API-Scandinavia on the 1st September 2004.

Half day workshops are run continually by me in Stockholm, and sometimes a two days workshop together with guest facilitator(s). Monthly meetings are held in Stockholm for API-students.

If you want astrological counselling or a workshop or a talk to be held in another part of Scandinavia, please contact me.

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 the API UK 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 API UK’s annual programme. I work as a tutor for the API UK alongside both my career in the public sector and taking time to be a wife and mum.
