What does training as a Transactional Analysis (TA) psychotherapist
involve?
The foundation level provides an introduction to the theory of Transactional Analysis and can be done as a stand alone course or can be accredited towards your ongoing training in TA.
The psychotherapy training consists of four years of ten weekends study (including the foundation year), which will be followed by a process of exam preparation towards becoming a Certified Transactional Analyst (CTA).
This can be done at your preferred pace but can only be done upon completion of the first four years. Alternatively, you may decide to work towards the UKCP Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling after completion of three years training.
- Each weekend study workshop includes an interactive and experiential exploration of theory skills and techniques
- supervised practice
- professional aspects of being a psychotherapist.
- We aim to provide a professional, creative, caring and mutually respectful approach to training.
- promote an ‘I’m ok, you’re ok’ culture, including an equal opportunities policy
- facilitate the development of trainees as competent, professional, ethical and successful therapists prepare trainees to successfully take the exam to achieve CTA status.
- contribute to the personal development of trainees.
