Transactional Analysis

Transactional Analysis was founded by Dr. Eric Berne - an innovative and creative thinker who brought together some of the most effective ideas in psychotherapy (analytic, cognitive behavioural, phenomenological) into a powerful body of theory and practice. Arguably his most significant contribution was that he sought to demystify psychotherapy and used concepts, language and methods which were understandable to all.  He developed theories which have both simple immediacy and subtle depth.

Transactional Analysis offers us a way of understanding personality, behaviour and relationships.  It has an integrative approach in the humanistic tradition - its practice firmly grounded in the respectful therapeutic relationship.
