Transactional Analysis
Transactional Analysis (TA) is a powerful and practical approach to understanding human behavior, communication, and personal growth.
Developed by Dr. Eric Berne, TA explores how our past experiences shape the way we think, feel, and interact with others—helping us break unhelpful patterns and build healthier relationships.
How Does Transactional Analysis Work?
TA is based on the idea that we have three distinct “ego states” that influence our thoughts, emotions, and interactions.
-
The part of us that reflects learned values, rules, and authority figures.
-
The rational, objective part that assesses situations based on facts.
-
The emotional, instinctive part that carries our past experiences, needs, and reactions.
By understanding which ego state we operate from in different situations, TA helps us improve communication, resolve conflicts, and develop greater self-awareness.
What Can TA Help With?
TA is highly effective for a variety of personal and relational challenges, including:
Anxiety and depression
Relationship conflicts
Low self-esteem and confidence issues
Emotional regulation and personal growth
Unhelpful behavioral patterns
Workplace and social interactions
What to Expect
Sessions involve exploring your thoughts, emotions, and interactions to identify recurring patterns and work toward positive change.
We may use tools such as dialogue exercises, and journaling to help you recognise and shift unhealthy communication styles.
