Executive Directors:

CEO

Hannah Sherbersky, our Chief Executive Officer has left the organisation to pursue other opportunities. We extend our thanks for her service over the past three years and acknowledge her commitment to the work of AFSP. We wish her well in her future endeavours.

AFSP remains fully committed to supporting our members, partners, and the wider systemic psychotherapy community. During this transition, the Board is working closely with senior staff to ensure continuity across all programmes, services, and partnerships. Interim leadership arrangements are in place, and further updates will be shared in due course as we move toward a permanent appointment.

In the shorter-term period we are seeking to appoint an interim CEO and further information will be shared in due course.

Please be assured that AFSP’s strategic priorities, training and accreditation standards, and collaborative work continue uninterrupted. Our focus remains firmly on advancing high-quality systemic practice and supporting families, practitioners, and communities.
