About Transactional Analysis and what to expect from the first session
What is Transactional Analysis?
Transactional Analysis (TA) is a psychoanalytical approach to Counselling and Psychotherapy thats main focus is to help people understand themselves and others through analysing personality, communication and relationships.
​
Its creator, Eric Berne, hoped that by simplifying often complex theories, more people would be able to achieve personal growth and change.
The first session
If you have never worked with a Counsellor or Psychotherpist before, it can feel like an extremely daunting undertaking.
​
After a short telephone consultation to gauge whether we both agree to work with each other, the first session will consist of a number of things.
This will include you beginning to tell your story at whatever pace is comfortable for you. It will also be a chance for me to ask a number of questions to start to form an understanding of you as a person.
Following this, we can then begin to discuss and form a therapeutic contract about what it is that you would like from your therapy and how we achieve that.
