Our Principles
People change through relationship. So that's how we teach.
Two principles shape everything we do, from the size of our groups to the way we give feedback.
-
Relationship at the Centre
The relationship between client and therapist is where change happens. Our training is built the same way: small groups, consistent trainers, and a learning community where you're known by name.
-
Personal and Professional Transformation
You can only take a client as far as you've been willing to go yourself. Alongside theory and skills, the training invites you to look at your own patterns, and supports you as they shift.
-
Rigour, Held with Warmth
Our programmes follow the internationally recognised TA curriculum and are taught by experienced practitioners who care about how you learn as much as what you learn.

What is Transactional Analysis?
TA is a theory of personality and a way of doing psychotherapy, first developed by Eric Berne in the 1950s.
It gives therapist and client a clear, shared language for how people think, feel and relate to one another, and for how patterns formed early in life can be understood and changed.
At its heart is a simple, hopeful position: people are OK, everyone can think, and everyone can change. TA therapists work through clear contracts and an equal, collaborative relationship, which makes it both respectful and effective.
Learning Online and in the Room
Our courses are hybrid, so you can train around work and family without losing the depth that comes from being together.
Online
One Friday a month of live theory seminars and discussion, taught in real time with the same trainers and the same small group. You can take part from wherever you are.
In Person
One weekend a month at Victoria Halls in Hartley Wintney, Hampshire, for experiential work, skills practice and the kind of learning that needs everyone in the same room.
