We value the uniqueness and autonomy of each individual and make a safe and welcoming learning environment where each person and their contribution to learning is honoured and respected. We embrace the concept of homonomy that promotes the interconnectedness of others, our environment and our planet.

The aim of The Berne Institute is to promote excellence in the fields of psychotherapy, counselling, training, supervision, and related research. Our core model is Transactional Analysis (TA) and we integrate other humanistic approaches.

In the service of this educational philosophy, we have developed a strategy for teaching and learning that is founded on three distinctive and interlinked principles. They are:

• Use of an organic model of personal learning
• Multi-level structure of training groups
• Four-year topic rotation.
