Abstract
This presentation further reports on a research program spanning four years in which a range of methodologies have been utilised to sample, contrast and record the perceptions of trainees and practitioner Counselling Psychologists relating to their domain of practice.

In particular this paper seeks to evaluate the salience and validity of an evolving representa-tion of practice for Chartered members of the Division of Counselling Psychology. Results of a national survey were analysed using Q.S.R. NUD.IST software and are presented in terms of trends according to preferred theoretical orientation, years of practice, and other profes-sional memberships.
