Exciting New Developments in Transactional Analysis
On this page you will find two innovative new programmes - the first of their kind in the TA world - incorporating ecological thinking and approaches to practice. For more on the philosophy of Eco-TA, including commentary from the participants of the first ever Eco-TA course from earlier this year
Working in the Field
This is an innovative introductory programme into ecotherapy and holistic education practice and theory for TA practitioners. Led by Hayley Marshall, PTSTA (P) and Giles Barrow TSTA (E), participants will be given opportunities to explore how nature, landscape and environment can provide powerful agency into clinical and educational practices.
Whilst ecotherapy and holistic education have been around for some years, they have, so far, remained outside of mainstream TA theory and practice. We see this programme being at the growing edge in terms of integrating these timely, earth-spirit based themes into the work of the TA practitioner. Whether it’s with a view to healing trauma with clients, building connection to natural agency, or promoting holistic development through learning, this programme will engage the practitioner with the outdoors, as classroom or therapy space, or perhaps something quite new entirely.

Finding our Common Ground
A Seasonal Course in Advanced Ecological TA
Based in the UK at two contrasting locations, this brand-new course offers participants an opportunity to explore working at ecological depth in both clinical and educational practice. Led by Hayley Marshall, PTSTA (P) and Giles Barrow TSTA (E), participants will work through four seasons to further develop their personal and professional ecological practice.
We will develop themes arising from the introductory Eco-TA course, with additional elements including indigeneity, ecological ethics & boundaries, working in the imaginal space, story-telling and psycho-spatial practice. Our aim is to deepen an ongoing exploration of what it means to practice TA ecologically.
