Transactional Analysis in London

What is Transactional Analysis?

Transactional Analysis (also known as TA) is considered a Humanistic Approach and focuses on an individual’s relationships and interactions. TA is used to address communication and interactions between yourself and your environment while reinforcing the capability others have for positive change and personal growth. It focuses on the value and worth of others and how verbal and nonverbal communication dictate responses in an encounter. Transactional Analysis posits that communication is integral to human nature and a critical aspect to daily living. The primary goal of Transactional Analysis Therapy is for an individual to achieve autonomy. Transactional Analysis is considered a brief and solution-focused therapy.
