Greetings President-Elect’s Message Greetings CCPA members,


As your new President-Elect on the Cana- dian Counselling and Psychotherapy Asso- ciation (CCPA) Board of Directors, I wanted to take this opportunity to officially introduce myself to you.


My name is Natasha Caverley. I hold a B.A (With Distinction) in Psychology, a M.Ed (Counselling Psychology) and a Ph.D in Organizational Studies from the University of Victoria. From 1998 to present, I have held research and policy analyst and organiza- tional development positions in Aboriginal, non-Aboriginal and public service organiza- tions specializing in community facilitation and troubleshooting, management and orga- nizational behaviour, including policy devel- opment, instrument design and analysis, and strategic planning. At present, I am the Presi- dent of Turtle Island Consulting Services Inc. in North Saanich, BC on southern Vancouver Island. I am a multiracial Canadian of Irish, Jamaican, and Algonquin ancestry.


My professional and volunteer experiences


are eclectic in nature. I am very fortunate to work in diverse settings whereby clients welcome my involvement in bringing a “hu- man dimension” (e.g., socio-cultural and health/wellness perspective) to issues such as climate change adaptation in rural com- munities; career development for Aboriginal communities and the military; occupational health, wellness and safety of public sector and emergency personnel; employment and skills development program design for rural, urban and remote communities; and commu- nity planning and literacy development.


To date, I have authored over 20 publications (nationally and internationally) including, but not limited to, contributions in the: BC Coun- sellor: Journal of the British Columbia School Counsellors’ Association; International Jour- nal of Public Sector Management; Journal of Employee Relations; Journal of Management Studies; Journal of Ecosystems and Man- agement; Native Journal; and Native Stud- ies Review. Most recently, I co-authored two book chapters for the Canadian Education and Research Institute for Counselling (CE- RIC) – funded career development practice
