We see TA training in Psychotherapy, Educational and Organisational fields as a structure setting in which one person – the client – pursues outcomes in the areas of personal change, growth or insight, with the help and facilitation of another person, the therapist. The central objective of our training, therefore, is to facilitate the trainee therapist to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes and experience that will allow her/him to invite personal change in others ethically, competently and elegantly.

The aim of The Berne Institute is to promote excellence in the fields of TA Psychotherapy, TA Educational, TA Organsiational, counselling, training, supervision, and related research. The core model we use is Transactional Analysis (TA) and relate it to 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.
