Metanoia’s MSc in Transactional Analysis is a comprehensive course that combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, preparing students for a career in psychotherapy. Our two-day Intro Workshop (TA101) is an opportunity to experience what it’s like to study with us at Metanoia, practically and experientially.

TA101 is for those interested in Transactional Analysis as a method of understanding communication; the ‘games people play’ and personal life patterns. It is for people who may want to use TA in their professional or personal lives and those who are interested in becoming transactional analysis counsellors or psychotherapists.

The workshop format combines theoretical input on the major concepts of TA with experiential exercises, allowing participants to apply these concepts to situations in their own lives.

Our two-day Intro Workshop is the official internationally recognised introduction to Transactional Analysis. It is a prerequisite for further training as a TA counsellor/psychotherapist or organisational/educational practitioner, ensuring a solid foundation for your future in this field (an alternative to the “101 written exam”).

Much has been written about in terms of how relevant the PCE-CfD approach is when working with trauma, due in particular to how the model is client led and a very 'gentle' way of working, with client autonomy being a central tenet. We will be looking at the key principles and practice of working in this way with clients presenting with trauma within the Talking Therapies services.
