- Preparing for psychotherapy qualification as a TA psychotherapist:
Transactional Analysis has a basic philosophy of "I'm OK - You are OK" which underlies all the training and supervision offered at YTC, where we aim to create a supportive atmosphere in which to develop your personal and professional development. People thrive and learn more effectively in a situation where there is an abundance of positive strokes and affirmations. We seek to promote this within all our training programmes.
TA training is focussed on how you use TA concepts: By joining the training programme you will be learning the theory and its application in psychotherapy and other professional settings. While also learning about yourself.
The training is process orientated and competency-based preparing you to apply TA professionally and leading you towards qualification as a Transactional Analyst psychotherapist. This is reflected in the course design, the course requirements and the final external examination process for qualification as a TA psychotherapist.
The Transactional Analysis (TA) Foundation Course is designed to be the first step before joining this ongoing training programme leading to qualification as a TA psychotherapist.
