Course Summary

Before starting this programme it is a prerequisite that you have attended the TA101 Introductory Workshop and also completed the Certificate in Therapeutic Skills short course, or equivalent.

The certificate in therapeutic skills (or equivalent) is a requirement for starting any of our MSc courses at Metanoia.

A part-time training leading to a Diploma and MSc degree in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy, which will provide you with automatic registration with UKCP and a qualification to practice as a psychotherapist, with additional optional Diploma in TA Psychotherapeutic Counselling route available from the third year of training.

Metanoia Institute’s TA psychotherapy qualification provides an in-depth training for those planning a career as a psychotherapist. The total length of this programme is five years (part-time) and runs for one weekend a month over ten months for the first four years, followed by an examination preparation module.

Transactional Analysis gives us the tools to consider how we are structured psychologically: using the ego state model we consider why we function and behave the way we do. In TA we analyse how we communicate and how this impacts our relationships, linked to this is theory regarding child development and understanding our life script. This helps us to understand how and why we may repeat patterns of behaviour and relationships in adult life which are unhelpful, dysfunctional and/or painful.

At Metanoia we engage with the different schools of TA, learning about the classical concepts, theory from the Cathexis and Redecision schools, as well as Relational theory. We model and work with a relational approach, which means that we use ourselves in the relationship and recognise that we co-create relational dynamics with others.

The course includes theoretical input, skills training, personal development and practical experience of working with clients (from the second year of training).
