What is counselling?

Counselling and provides a safe space to explore your feelings and concerns without fear of being judged. The counsellor is actively engaged in helping the client to reach a deeper understanding of themselves and their behaviour and will assist the client to make satisfactory resolutions and changes to their difficulties.

What Is Transactional Analysis?

Eric Berne (1910-70), the originator of transactional analysis, was a Canadian born psychiatrist who began his psychoanalytic training in 1941 at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute.

Transactional Analysis (commonly called TA) is a way of looking at what goes on between people and inside people in order to help them make changes.

TA concepts are often shared with clients, so there is a talking with rather than talking at clients. In this way the content and process of psychotherapy and counselling are demystified and developed into a shared endeavor.

TA puts emphasis on personal responsibility for one's experience and in so doing puts the client in a central, proactive and therefore potentially powerful role in the counselling situation. In this respect, TA is referred to as a decisional model. If we are personally responsible for our own experience, we must be responsible for the choices and decisions that we make about how we behave, how we feel, how we think and what we believe, even though many of these decisions may not be made in awareness. Even as children we made such decisions in response to the environments of home, school and society. Clearly, some of these decisions were misinformed, misperceived, skewed by immaturity, but nonetheless the best we could manage in those early circumstances. Hope lies in the fact that new and reparative decisions can be made in the present to replace the now dysfunctional and maladaptive decisions of the past.
