TA 101 - the official, two-day Introduction to Transactional Analysis 

Led by: John Baxendale, MSc TA Psych, PTSTA, Principal of Wealden College of Counselling and Psychotherapy
Saturday and Sunday 23 & 24 May 2026
09.00 to 17.00 UK time each day (14 hours of online training)

This introductory, online course is the ideal place to begin studying Transactional Analysis (TA). But more than that, this two-day course will help you to understand better how you interact with yourself and with others, and to gain some insight into patterns of behaviour that you find yourself repeating, without wanting to and without knowing why.

We will look at how in our  very early life we set the scene for how our life then unfolds, all based on the beliefs we formed, the decisions we made and the strategies we adopted in order to feel safe in the world as a new-born and early infant. 

The TA 101 course provides models and tools for anyone who is interacting with other people, in other words it`s for just about everyone, no matter what your profession or work activity. No prior training is required in order to enroll.

There is no exam at the end, and participants will receive an internationally recognised certificate which is valid world-wide.
