Transactional Analysis
About the Course
Transactional Analysis (TA) is a well known approach which uses our Parent Adult and Child in dialogue with each oher, to produce positive changes by freeing us from negative patterns.
A powerful tool for change, TA helps us understand the critical voices in our head, the "games we play" which trap us in relationships that are unfulfilling or in a life we don't really want to lead, and helps us find personal autonomy and freedom.
You can complete the course in as little as 4 weeks - or just fit the course around your lifestyle and take as long as you like.
You'll have access to your assigned, expert tutor for as long as it takes to complete the course, with easy methods of communication.
You also get access to the online Student Coffee Shop where you can discuss topics with other students and with tutors.
The course will equip you with a good knowledge of Transactional Analysis: a starting point for practice if you're new to the subject, and a good knowledge base if you're an existing therapist.
When purchasing the course, you have the option of purchasing a printed copy, of the module workbooks.
