Certificate in Co-Creative Transactional Analysis (Practice)

About the Course

We are pleased to offer a six day certificated programme in Co-Creative TA (CCTA) which will be delivered by TSTAs with many years of experience developing and practicing CCTA in the educational, organisational and psychotherapy fields. The programme is, therefore, applicable to all levels and fields of TA practice. 

Location

Depending on the location of registered attendees of this cohort, the programme will be delivered either online, or in a hybrid format (in person at the Berne Institute and online). Please note that the October weekend with Keith Tudor will be held entirely online and will be an earlier start to account for the time difference in New Zealand. Please indicate when booking your place whether you would like to attend at Berne House if there are weekends where hybrid attendance is possible.

Timings 9:30am to 5pm UK time with breaks, please note there may be some adjustments to timings to accommodate international time zones.

Please note sessions will be recorded for use by participants to review or catch up with the material.

    Assessment  Optional additional weekend 16/17 January 2027.

    For award of The Berne Institute CCTA Certificate in Practice, participants will have the opportunity to present, in some way, their application of CCTA in their own field of practice: to enable all participants to experience and critique the application of CCTA in practice.


    Accreditation  

    On attending the six day training portion of this offering, you will be presented a certificate of attendance of ‘The Berne Institute Training in Co-Creative Transactional Analysis’ which can be counted as 36 hours of CPD or 36 hours of Advanced TA Training.

  • Course Content

    The programme starts by exploring the basic concepts of CCTA before moving onto the models developed by Summers and Tudor through which CCTA is experienced and practised. This is followed by an exploration of how these reframe the four basic aspects of TA (Transactions, Ego States, Games and Script) as co-transferential relating, co-creative personality, co-creative identity and co-creative confirmations, respectively, which leads to a (re)framing of transactional analysis within the positive health perspective of CCTA. Having established the foundations, the theory and the models we move on to exploring and experiencing how this all comes together in practice. 

    The programme will be delivered within a CCTA learning environment. So, sessions will be co-created in a learning space that invites we-ness, shared responsibility, present centred relating and mutual positive regard. Attendees will be invited, by the facilitators, to join them in this accounting learning environment and to explore and share their curiosities about the theory and practice of CCTA. The sessions will be interactive and include group work as well as being practice based.


    There is an option to attend a further weekend (16/17 January 2027) when participants will have the opportunity to present, in some way, their application of CCTA in their own field of practice: to enable all participants to experience and critique the application of CCTA in practice, so improving and further developing their competence in this modality – and generating a certificate in CCTA practice. 



  • Eligibility and Entry

    The essential requirement is that you are interested, curious or even passionate about using CCTA as part of your practice.

Our Core Philosophy

At The Berne Institute we recognise that people come into TA training with widely differing experiences of clinical practice, theoretical knowledge and formal academic learning, and that they differ widely also in their current personal resources and skills. Our courses therefore honour the uniqueness of each individual’s learning and experience and their different learning styles, pace and areas of competence.

The philosophy and practice of Homonomy that respects our mutuality and interconnectedness has been recently integrated into the Berne Institute philosophy. The aim is to expand the focus in our theory and practice from individual change to include a focus on the wider implications of our work on the whole community and our planet.
