At the British Psychological Society (BPS), Division of Counselling Psychology (DCoP) Annual Conference held in Torquay during May 17th-19th, 2002, on the 18th May, a meeting of twenty-eight BPS members interested in forming a Coaching Psychology Special Interest Group within the Division was held. Unfortunately at that time, DCoP did not have a constitution that allowed the formation of a Special Interest Group (SIG). Instead, an internet discussion forum was set up for use of the members to further the field of coaching psychology. It was decided that membership would be restricted to BPS members only.
At a coaching psychology forum meeting held in London on 21st February, 2003, it was decided to submit a proposal to the BPS for the setting up of a Special Group of Coaching Psychology.
The Executive Committee of the SGCP was put into place at the Inaugural AGM on 15th December 2004. In the first quarter of 2005, four Ordinary Members, a Co-opted Member and an Ex-Officio Member have been appointed to further posts on the SGCP Committee and two Sub-Committees, for Professional Practice and Research, and Professional Training, Development and Events Management respectively, have been created.
