New Peak District venue for TA101s

January 22, 2018 By Andy Williams

Devonshire Dome in the Peak District

We now offer TA101 courses in the Peak District National Park as well as at our Leeds venue. The courses are located in the beautiful town of Buxton, Derbyshire.

Lin Cheung is presenting the courses on 19 & 20 March 2018 or 14 & 15 June 2018. We know you will love the venue for these workshops – the amazing Devonshire Dome. The Dome is an iconic building right in the heart of Georgian Buxton. As if that wasn’t enough, Buxton is surrounded by the the outstanding Peak District countryside.

Book your ticket for either of these courses, by clicking here TA101.

Contracts and Contracting

October 9, 2017 By Andy Williams

Lin Cheung talks about contracts and contracting and their importance within the transactional analysis model.

What is contracting?

Contracting is one of the key principles of how we work as transactional analysts. As they say “If you are not contracting, you aren’t doing TA” This is a really interesting idea but what does it mean?

I think its about being clear about what we are doing and why we are doing it. And that its not just me that is clear about that but also the person I am working with. It applies across the board, whether we are in an organisation working as a coach, if we are doing organisational consultancy, if we are a psychotherapist, if we are a counsellor. Its about being clear and not having any confusion about what we are here to do and what the end outcome is.

Charlotte Sills uses the word ‘confusion’ and I really like that idea. What we are seeking is clarity. This doesn’t necessarily happen straight away and can often be emergent. Moment by moment we are seeking clarity – ‘What does this mean to me right now?’

Our clients often come to us, as psychotherapists, without a sense of what they are seeking and a big part of what we are there to do is to help them work it out for themselves and then to have a shared idea of the goals of psychotherapy and how we are going to get there.

That is contracting for me.

We explore contracts and contracting in our Foundation Certificate course which runs each academic year, September – July.

Working with Groups – brief introduction

September 18, 2017 By Andy Williams

Groups work with the Clinical Training Group

Andy Williams is talking about the Working with Groups training that took place over the weekend in this short clip.

Hello everybody, I’m checking in after this weekend with the advanced psychotherapy clinical training group looking at group work.

We had a really good time considering aspects of working with process groups and the theory of running process groups.

We were looking at the 7 principles of process group work that Adrienne Lee* talks about. The fact that we are healing primal wounds so a group can be many things:

  • If you feel abandoned, the group can be about real contact.
  • When you are feeling engulfed, the group can be about finding space.
  • If you are feeling hurt, it’s about protection.

The group is about moving from non-relationship into relationship.

We also talking about ideas of intimacy through ensuring we close things down and there are no loose ends at the ends of groups (if we can help it).

We looked at empowering the client. The group is there to change things through having an authentic, relational experience with people and we talked a lot about the relationships within a therapy group.

Finally we explored the experience of ‘plenty’ – Adrienne Lee talks about the idea of  ‘plenty’ – there is enough for everybody, over time, within a therapy group.
