Based on the groundbreaking work of psychiatrist Eric Berne, this course on Transactional Analysis (TA) offers a powerful framework for understanding how our personality is shaped by three ego states: Parent, Adult, and Child. These inner states influence everything, from how we think and feel to how we relate and communicate with others.
This course introduces you to the principles of TA and how it can be used in everyday life. You’ll explore foundational concepts such as transactions, games, life scripts, and life positions, and discover how these patterns form the blueprint for behaviour.
You’ll begin with the origins of Transactional Analysis and the legacy of Eric Berne, then move into the practical applications of the model. Learn how to identify ego states, recognise unhelpful patterns, and uncover unconscious scripts that shape your decision-making. Through studying transactional analysis, you’ll develop practical tools for emotional intelligence and personal growth.
Through real-world case studies taken from Berne’s own practice, you’ll see how Transactional Analysis creates meaningful transformation, helping people shift their mindset, reframe limiting beliefs, and live with greater clarity and connection.
The final part of the course looks at how TA fits within counselling and coaching contexts, from a theoretical point of view only. You’ll also gain a certification, which can be used for CPD purposes or as a stepping stone to further accredited training.

Upon successful completion of the course, you will have the option of printing your CPD accredited certificate.
