Official Introductory Course
Transactional Analysis (TA) can be applied by anyone, in a variety of situations.  It has an underlying ethos of positive regard for self and others, and a belief that everybody can change.  This two day workshop is the official introduction prescribed by the European Association for Transactional Analysis (EATA) and is an internationally recognised qualification.
What is Transactional Analysis?
TA is a framework for understanding professional and personal relationships, communication, and human behaviour.  The interlocking concepts and models of TA promote clear communication, and help people to reach their true potential.
TA was founded by Eric Berne in the 1950s and is widely used in Organisations, Education, Counselling and Psychotherapy.
What are the benefits of attending this workshop?
TA helps us to understand why we think the way we do, why we behave the way we do and what we can do to change what we want to change.  This is a benefit in our working lives, and in our personal lives.  This course will help you if you:

• Want to understand human behaviour
• Want to know why communication can break down
• Are interested in your personal and professional development

How can I use this course?

• For personal interest and development
• As a foundation for further study of TA
• In your work with colleagues, team members, managers, in youth work, in voluntary work, with clients and with friends
