It is now a well-established approach used widely in psychotherapy, counselling, education and organisational development and other areas. As well as providing a theory of personality, Transactional Analysis offers a range of models that can be used to explain communication and relationships. These models can help identify what goes wrong in communication and how to interact for a better outcome.

The therapeutic applications of TA focus on providing opportunity for individuals to change repetitive patterns. These patterns, the result of early childhood decisions which in TA are referred to as ‘script’ limit an individual’s potential. TA focuses on how script manifests itself in day-to-day life and how we can move beyond it to improve the quality of our lives.

Used with individuals, couples and groups, TA is effective with a wide range of therapeutic issues. Unique in the depth of its theory, this process allows for the individuality of both therapist and client.
