"The mission is engaging in that the focus is on wellness and not illness which can move into prevention and not cure. I believe that a network of committed therapy professionals can have a valid voice in the current arena." - Ros Guthrie

"Love the idea of “peak mental fitness”. If society could see looking after one’s mental health as equally as important as looking after one’s physical health, my aim would be achieved. People don’t mind going to the gym etc now, although a generation ago that was considered only for fitness freaks. Maybe counselling will become more acceptable too" - Rachel

"I am a qualified counsellor of Indian/ West Indian parentage. I was delighted to read about your directory and to have the opportunity to net work with fellow Black & Asian therapists, best wishes" - Jay Teare

"I wish you and all of us using this site (clients and counsellors) the best of luck and I hope this will encourage the black community to harness the wealth of knowledge that is there in the community. Once again thanks" - Valerie Valero

"Having received the 'Psychotherapist' (a psychotherapists journal), I was very interested today to see your advert. I am of Anglo-Indian origin and can empathise with the difficulties in finding or having a therapist who would not necessarily understand the ordinary, everyday offences and slurs on one's race, colour and ethnicity. Of course there is much more than this that is involved, like feelings of not belonging, or where do we belong, etc" - Barbara Leon

"Congratulations on the launch of this directory which was long overdue" - Kenyah Nyameche

"I was delighted to see your advert about the on-line directory for Black and
Asian Therapists. Something which I wanted to initiate myself for sometime but never got around it so to see it happening was delightful" - Shukla Dhingra

thanks for sharing your thoughts. Peace & Blessings" - Linda Kleida Romera

"I am very interested in networking with other black counsellors. Having a Black and Asian directory is a very good idea" - Veronica Wade MBACP (Accred)

"what plans do you have for the development of this group? Are you thinking about UKCP membership as an organisation? It would be good to have a political voice that is culturally specific in and amongst the rest" - Vernon De Maynard

believe is an essential" - Isha Mckenzie-Mavinga
